The Yonex PERCEPT GAME in Midnight Navy is made for players beginning to practise more regularly and develop reliable direction and depth. With a 100-square-inch head and a nominal 270 g weight, it is noticeably more manageable than the heavier PERCEPT 100 and 100D. That distinction matters to recreational and improving players who are still building a consistent swing and want a control-oriented identity without the demands of a competition-weight frame.
A more accessible route into the PERCEPT range
The 16/19 string pattern gives useful freedom to learn topspin and shape shots, while ISOMETRIC geometry expands the effective contact area within the head shape. A 335 mm balance helps retain some head presence during the swing despite the lower total mass. GAME is designed as a developing-player option, not a lighter clone with identical construction to every model above it.
Yonex specifies NANOMESH NEO and SERVO FILTER in this frame rather than the 2G-Namd Flex Force used by PERCEPT 100 and 97. Its Midnight Navy finish delivers a distinctive, understated look. For someone learning to place the ball with intention and preparing to grow into more demanding racquets, PERCEPT GAME makes a sensible starting point.
