What players say
This is a colorway release of the Yonex Percept 100D (same 100 sq in / 18x19 frame), and reviewers treat it as the standard Percept 100D. Testers agree it is a precise, control-first 100 sq in frame with a notably low launch angle and firm feel, best for advanced players who drive the ball flat. The main split is between players who love how it rewards clean, aggressive technique and those who find it underpowered, low-spin, and unforgiving on mishits.
Best for
- Advanced baseliners who drive through the ball
- Flatter, aggressive hitters
- Doubles/net play and return of serve
- Players wanting an 18x19 player's frame in a 100 head
Pros
- Excellent, predictable control and precise ball placement
- Stable and easy to whip through, good at net and on return of serve
- Arm-friendly for most players despite the firm layup
- Rewards forward swing and flat, driven shots with solid pace
Cons
- Unusually low launch angle takes real adjustment and causes mishits clipping the tape
- Lacks spin compared to more modern, open-pattern frames
- Underpowered / requires the player to generate their own pace
- Feels harsh on off-center hits; some forum reports of frames cracking

practically forced me to move forward through my shots and to drive the ball flat

the 100D makes the head size more of an option for the advanced player

It's an absurdly low launch angle. Almost can't believe how low on a 100" frame.

Low swing weight and easy to whip. However feels stable on contact.

Pro Karue is bailing on this racket due to cracking issues.
