The Percept 97D is the most control-oriented racquet in the Percept line, successor to the old VCORE Pro. It is 320 g unstrung, with a 97 in² head, a closed 18x20 pattern, a 21 mm profile and a swingweight of 329, at 62 RA. The elongated core increases flex and ball pocketing, while the Servo Filter filters vibration. Even at close to 337 g strung, the 320 mm balance makes it quick enough to generate spin and react at the net.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs55%64
Approval from players30%65
Versatility15%77

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
