2G-Namd Flex Force
2G-Namd Flex Force is a highly elastic graphite material that allows the frame to flex and snap back quickly during impact. It is designed to support ball pocketing and spin potential while retaining a responsive feel.
The Yonex PERCEPT 97 in Midnight Navy belongs with accomplished players who want the racquet to communicate the strike clearly and allow deliberate changes of direction. Its 97-square-inch head, nominal 310 g weight and slim 21 mm beam create a more exacting profile than the PERCEPT 100. This is a frame for people who generate their own pace, prepare early and take satisfaction in placing a deep drive, sharp angle or attacking approach precisely where they intend.
A classic control idea, interpreted by Yonex
The smaller head asks for cleaner contact and sound footwork. A 310 mm balance complements that focused character, while the 16/19 string pattern still allows topspin and variation when needed. ISOMETRIC geometry provides extra useful hitting area within the shape, but does not turn a demanding 97-inch frame into a beginner racquet.
FlexCon System, 2G-Namd Flex Force and SERVO FILTER work within the PERCEPT approach to controlled flex and meaningful impact feedback. Midnight Navy gives the familiar platform a dark, restrained appearance without changing its fundamental design. PERCEPT 97 is especially persuasive for skilled players who prefer precision and feel to the easy launch of a larger, power-led head.
Technologies
FlexCon System
The shaped, elongated shaft is engineered for controlled flex through contact, extending the ball-pocketing sensation and supporting deliberate placement on well-executed strokes.
ISOMETRIC
Yonex ISOMETRIC uses a more squared-off head geometry that optimizes main and cross string intersections. Yonex reports an approximately 7% larger sweet spot than a comparable conventional round head, supporting a more forgiving response when contact is off centre.
Servo Filter
SERVO FILTER is an elastic film integrated between graphite layers in the frame. It is designed to reduce unwanted vibrations while preserving useful feedback to the hand for a more precise impact feel.
Stiff Racquet Face Design
Additional graphite layers reinforce the racquet face during impact. Yonex positions this as a way to stabilize ball trajectory and improve shot-to-shot consistency while allowing the shaft to retain its designed flex.
