Yonex PERCEPT 100L Midnight Navy – Lightweight Control Racquet with Precision and Feel

Yonex PERCEPT 100L Midnight Navy is a lightweight and responsive tennis racquet for players who prioritize control, feel and fast maneuverability. With an unstrung weight of just 280 grams, a 100 sq.in. head size and an open 16x19 string pattern, the racquet offers an excellent combination of precision, spin and user-friendly performance.

The 100L is the lighter option in the PERCEPT series and is ideal for players who appreciate performance-oriented characteristics but want a racquet that is easier to accelerate and maneuver than heavier control racquets. The elegant Midnight Navy colorway enhances the sophisticated premium character of the PERCEPT series.

The racquet is supplied unstrung but can be delivered strung as an optional extra – make your selection above.

280 Grams – Fast and Easy Through the Swing

With an unstrung weight of 280 grams, the PERCEPT 100L is easy to accelerate and quick to position for the next shot. This is a clear advantage during fast rallies, returns and situations where quick reactions are required at the net.

The lower weight also makes the model less demanding than the 300-gram PERCEPT 100, making it ideal for players who want the control-oriented feel of the PERCEPT series in a more maneuverable package.

100 Sq.In. for Control with Greater Forgiveness

The 100 sq.in. head size provides an excellent balance between precision and forgiveness. Compared with smaller control-oriented racquets, you get a more generous hitting area and larger sweet spot, making the racquet more forgiving when contact is not perfectly centered.

This makes the PERCEPT 100L a versatile option for players who want to place the ball accurately without using an unnecessarily demanding racquet.

ISOMETRIC – Larger Effective Sweet Spot

Yonex’s signature ISOMETRIC head shape optimizes the interaction between the main and cross strings to create a larger effective sweet spot compared with a conventional round racquet shape.

The result is a more consistent response across a larger area of the string bed and improved control even when contact is slightly off-center.

2G-Namd Flex Force – Flexibility and Response

2G-Namd Flex Force is incorporated into the construction to allow the frame to flex and quickly recover during ball contact.

The technology contributes to the flexible and responsive feel that characterizes the PERCEPT series, helping players work with the ball rather than relying solely on the racquet to generate power.

SERVO FILTER – Cleaner Feel at Impact

SERVO FILTER is integrated into the construction to reduce unwanted vibrations while maintaining the feedback that is essential for good ball feel.

This creates a more dampened and controlled sensation at impact, helping the player feel the connection between the racquet, strings and ball.

FLEXCON SYSTEM for Enhanced Ball Feel

The PERCEPT series’ FLEXCON SYSTEM is designed to create greater flexibility in the racquet shaft and frame. The construction provides a longer, more controlled sensation at impact, making it easier to control direction and placement.

This is particularly beneficial for players who generate their own pace and value precision and feedback from their racquet.

16x19 String Pattern – Control with Excellent Spin Potential

The open 16x19 string pattern allows the strings to move effectively at impact, making it easier to generate spin.

The combination of a 100 sq.in. head and 16x19 string pattern makes the 100L more versatile than a traditional dense-pattern control racquet. You get precision when attacking while retaining excellent access to topspin and variation from the baseline.
