The Percept 97H is the heaviest model in the Percept line and the racquet used by Stan Wawrinka. It is 330 g unstrung, about 346 g strung, with a 97 in² head, a 16x19 pattern and a thin 21 mm profile. The swingweight of 333 and the 310 mm balance (very light handle) give a lot of stability and ball weight, while the 62 RA keeps the feel soft. It is a racquet for a physically strong player, with long, clean strokes, who wants to block heavy balls and return them with depth.

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.
