| VERDICT // WHO THIS FRAME SUITS
Precision players who want Yonex's most control-oriented modern frame
Best for precision players who want a tour frame that does not beat up the arm. Testers described trust as the defining quality — “I could trust the Percept 97 because it instilled confidence on big points” — and were surprised by the spin available from a control frame. Tennisnerd positions it simply: “better control and a slightly faster feel than the 100”. An 85 comfort rating is exceptional for this category.
