I said it wrong at 0:55 it is supposed to be 3 specs with 97 sqin not 98 sqin.
How would you compare the sweetspot of these 2 racquets compared to the radical mp 2023 (my current racquet). Thanks for the great review!
@@miguelroda8779 Percept 100 and 100D definitely have larger sweetspot than Radical MP, and higher launch angle as well.
@@tantennis I find the radical mp sweetspot quite generous for a 98 (for me is much bigger than a blade 98), not sure why people say it’s on the smaller size.
Great video! As a side note: I have been following your channel for awhile and I am impressed with how much you’ve improved both your forehand as well as the backhand! Great spacing right in front, great follow through as well! I know my comment isn’t exactly Yonex review related but I am genuinely impressed with your progression from a year ago… 😉😉😉😜😜😜
Thanks a lot for that.
Nice review as always. Why did you select the 100D over the 97/97D to include in your favorites? Was it due to its maneuverability, spin potential, or power?
97D is 320g so it’s off limits. 97 doesn’t plow through and it’s quite stiff. 100D is more maneuverable and forgiving and it offers pretty much the same (if any less) control.
Great content, as always!
I’m not quite convinced the line-up needs both these rackets, but perhaps you can persuade me…
Could a 100 not be made to play like the 100D just by using a thicker gauge string? (And vice versa?)
I'm not sure but it could be. Imagine if I use 1.20 gauge on 100D (which I plan to do with tour bite soft 1.20). I think it will be more of an all court racket, spinnier and faster. So, the other way around should work, I guess.
Great review! In terms of stability and predictability how would you compare it to the ezone 100 and the Head Speed MP? Im between these two for my racquet of choice
I think Percept is more predictable, both 100 and 100D. They’re also lower power and control oriented. Stability I don’t think there’s a much differences tho, like I don’t feel like any of them have stability issues.
I have been playing with the 100D for a month now. The improvement on my 2H backhand is insane. Similar feeling to what you described. It feels like you can hit through the ball, step in, and the ball does not sail.
Also, I added 2.25 grams of led at 3 and 9 for some minor extra stability and it helps on the returns and volleys
two handed backhand is real insaneee
What is the reason the 100D is considerably more popular than the normal Percept 100?
@@alng16wondering that myself. I don’t know why a baseline player would want a 💯 racquet anyway. I am guessing their answer is precision when they finally get a chance to hit a winner.
As a lifelong golfer that has pursued good
Ball striking, I would say my game is as only as good as my best mishit , not my best shot.
I don’t know how great of a tennis player u have to be to have the same not be true
Hi Tan, great video once again. I have another question for you if you don't mind. I just was able to play with a Ezone DR98 and would like to know how it compares to the 100D in all categories (touch, feel, stiffness, power, etc). THANKS!
I think the DR98 has springy flex in the shaft and therefore make it less predictable. Not sure which one is more powerful because I didn’t play with them side-by-side. 100D is softer and more predictable and constantly hit deep ball, I can sense some precision feeling as well.
Nice video! I was hoping to switch to this racket from the pure drive after using it for 3+ years and was wondering which model of the percept you would recommend to switch too. Also what type of string would best go with the racket in your opinion. Thank you!
Percept 100 probably the safer choice to go as it has the same spec. String you can go with polytour pro as a starter.
Thanks for thoroughly reviewing both models. I’m about to demo the 100… Did you find the Percept 100s to be more ‘arm friendly’ than say an EZONE 98?
Yes it is
อยากให้ รีวิว yonex percept 100 vs ezone 98 ครับ
Tan: I’m thinking Blade 16x19 or the 100D…I hit mostly flat, especially with my one - handed backhand. Also, do you think a gut/ poly hybrid would work in the 100D, or go with poly tour pro? , Thoughts? Best, John
If flat I think Blade 98 or Speed Pro would be a better fit. Yes hybrid works on 100D.
Tan, will you be reviewing the 97H anytime soon to complete your Percept line review?
I don’t think so. There’s no 97H demo I can find and I’m not going to buy myself one because the weight is off limits
Lead tape 2g total on 10 and 2 on 100d, what do you think of this? Is it necessary? I do this for my wo 16x19 and ps 3rd gen 16x19.
If you like SW close to 330 then you could, but I don’t think it’s necessary.
I demoed the 97D and liked it but found it a bit sluggish and felt a tad heavy after a long playing session. Do you think that the 100D might be worth a demo?
Yes the 100D is definitely worth a demo
Hi Tan great videos
Can you comment on ezone 100 vs percept 100d ? Can ezone 100 user use it well and secondly is the handle as long on percept as ezone
I think yes you can play with it but it might feel different due to balance. Yes I think the handle is pretty much the same.
Quick question: can you give a comparison to Percept 100D and Wilson Blade 100 v8 please? I want to move away from Pure Drive due to lack of control. 🙏🏻 Thanks
At least, i have pure drive and blade 100 v8
Honestly the stiffness of puredrive is only the downside thing of it,
But when i played with blade 100 v8, I found it hard to play with it cause it is not spin friendly plus the balance of it makes its heavier somehow, pure drive was really better to control cause I shot with avery topspin and its very stable as well, blade v8 also is stable at the net, but bad from baseline!
How does it compare with tecnifibre iso 305? Is it close or there are differences? Its my current stick ....
It’s easier to play with. Less demanding. I think launch angle and spin are close. The way it plays as well.
I started to use the Percept 100 about 2 weeks ago. I have used an Ezone 98 for the last 2 years so it was always going to take a lot for me to consider a switch to a new frame, but just felt I could do with a little more control as sometimes the power / my technique would send it long with the Ezone. Apart from that I have loved the Ezone 98 and had no complaints at all with it. After only about 10 hours of play I decided to use the Percept in my next match, having my Ezone in the bag in case I had made a terrible mistake! Just to note this is first ever 100 inch frame so was slightly worried that I was making a backwards step. The Percept was amazing though and not once was I tempted to take the Ezone out of the bag. I certainly felt I had more control; my serves were more accurate. I hit more aces than I have ever hit in a match, just through placement rather than power / speed. I felt I could hit the angles with confidence and although I still sent a couple long (as we all do) as long as I got the top spin right the majority of deep shots fell in the court and I would say my error rate was a good 50% better for deep shots. I still think the Ezone has more power overall, but the Percept 100 frame is not lacking in power, and I had it strung at 50lbs to give me any power I was missing from the 98 inch frame. Also it’s a 16 / 19 pattern so I didn’t feel as if I lost any spin as top spin is a big part of my game. Still early days, but at the moment I cant see me moving back to the Ezone, so feels like my first major change in racket since the Ezone was released two years ago!!!
That’s awesome! Good to hear that you like it!
can you recommend me a good string for the percept and ezone 100 ? looking for good control , comfort and spin.
thanks
Yonex polytour pro
Hi , which racket do you recommend for a player of 60 years old with average technics ? I like Yonex. Thanks
I think you can never be wrong with Ezone. It also has 105 and 110 if you want oversized frame. Others would be Astrel line.
what a beautiful court
Did you manage to find a perfect set up for this racquet? I tested a demo racquet and loved it a lot up to a point where i bought my own racquet with similar specs. The demo racquet had Poly Tour Rev, was initially strung with 25kg but i dont think it was 25kg when i got the chance to test. It was very soft, very powerful and consistent, i assume 20-22kg maybe. So i used the similar Poly Tour Rev but Mint and 22kg tension. The thing is it does not play like the demo one at all. I really dont like it, it feels unstable and my shots are very “thin” - they lack depth and spin… i really cant figure out why because tech specs are almost the same compared to the demo racquet.
I don’t think it needs perfect setup as all the setups I played with so far works very well. Polytour pro, polytour fire, tour bite soft, Zero, Zero Wasabi hybrid. Maybe try the same tour rev like your demo racket. Different color can play a bit differently.
@@tantennis thank you for the swift response! What tension would you suggest?
I strung around 46-48 lbs. Hit super solid with extraordinary depth.
where do you find the difference with the head speed mp?
Percept is more plush and has better control. Very predictable response. Speed MP has more free power but stringbed sometimes erratic. The ball sails more on the Speed than on the Percept. On the spin I think Speed has more edge, not by far tho.
Currently using v core pro 97. Thinking of percept 100D or speed pro. What u think?
Why not Percept 97? Should be better with OHBH.
How does the 100D compare to the Whiteout 18x20? Especially in terms of trajectory and control? I would imagine the Percept has better feel, the Whiteout is pretty muted and dead feeling.
I think on natural groundstrokes, Percept has a bit higher launch angle. On the Whiteout, I have to lift the ball up a bit and then it’s fine. Spin and control I would say whiteout is better, but by margin. Yes Percept has better feel, it’s more solid and plush and pocketing, whiteout is firm and responsive and it doesn’t feel as good imo. But I don’t think it’s muted and dead.
@@tantennis Thats really great then because I thought the Percept D would have a lower trajectory. Muted and Dead may sound a little harsh, haha. I guess I will say the Whiteout feel didn't really grab me like the Percept H did. Whiteout stringbed is one of the most honest and easy to control I ever used though. Amazing frame, I still have mine but am leaning back to Yonex with these Percepts.
Have you tested restring zero in the 100D?
Yea currently using zero main wasabi x cross
How does this yonex compare with wilson pro staff 100 or X?
This is easier to play with than PSX and not very demanding
Maybe try the Head Prestige Classic 2.0. If the 93sqin head does not turn you off?
I don’t think I can play with 93 sqin lol
From my exp percept 97 can came with swingweight lower than specs , when i tested it was 313 and playing with i was 0-4 very litle plow and pop, in first set then i decide to put lead about 4 grams ar 3 and 9 , after i won 6-4,6-0.
Exactly. They made SW low for customizations.
Hi, how much more plush is Percept 100 to the Yonex Ezone 100?
I don’t think either of then is plush hahaha. They are firm feeling frame.
What about Head speed MP vs Percept 100 in terms of spin and control?
I think Percept wins on everything
Speed MP has more power and spin, less control
Those 2 Percept compare to the Vcore 100 and EZone 100?
Yea I should have done the comparison with those. Thanks for the idea. Basically way less free power than those 2.
@@tantennis yes, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this with all four 100 size racquets; please do it if you can!
Vcore is tour would be a great review
Tan, what strings and tension did you use for the 100 d?
In this video it’s polytour pro at 46 lbs. now I’m on tour bite soft 46 lbs.
hi 🙌 more or less power than the gravity mp?
Less power
@@tantennis sorry, im referring to the percept 100 not the 100d
@@emilianoc4203 Hmmm. Percept probably a bit less powerful I think. Pretty close in stock form on both. But if you beef up the gravity MP to 300g then gravity will be more powerful.
I have and play with both. Percept 100 more powerful by a mile due to its stiffness. Gravity mp is low powered unless you beef it up with weight. I put weight at 3,9, and 12 positions
In terms of specs, 100D feels like a competitor to the Speed MP and Gravity Tour.
Yea kind of. I think it has the same target group with speed mp, but more control, less power
What is your personal prefrence between them as a go to racket?
@@user-zh3nj6ry4r Between these 3? I would choose Percept 100D
Favorite Yonex 100 sqin frame?
Ezone 100
@@tantennis please tell us the reason[s] why you prefer the Ezone 100 over the other three. Thanks.
@@rich.e It's 100D actually lol. Ezone 100 is for vast majority. I thought this comment is in another video where I compared tweener rackets.
LOL my list is very similar!
Currently playing: Blade 98 v8 18x20
List of potential switch:
1. HEAD Prestige MP 18x19
2. Yonex Percept 100D 18x19
3. Tecnifibre T-Fight 305 Isoflex 18x19
4. Solinco Whiteout 305 18x20
5. HEAD Gravity Tour 18x20
Nice!
Looking for this review
Thanks!
@@tantennisplaying with Gravity tour 2021 for a while, looking for more maneuverable and spin oriented racket but not too much to loose some linear shots and control when needed
What you think it is better between this 2 or any other you tested (;
what is your go to string at the moment?
Solinco tour bite soft
ตีแล้วลูกมันจะโด่งออกอยู่เรื่อยไหมครับ หรือมันเป็นลักษณะไม้ที่ให้ใส่สปินเยอะๆ มากกว่าตีแฟลตครับ
ก็ไม่ได้โด่งออกนะครับ สปินก็โอเคมากำลังดีไม่มากไม่น้อยไป ผมว่าเป็นไม้ที่ค่อนข้างจะลงตัวนะครับ
They should have made the standard 100 305g as well. 300g is too light for a racquet with that beam width.
That's where customization comes in my bro! That's the beauty of frames with such light "platform" weights -- plenty of room to slap on handle and hoop weight and get recoil and swing weights exactly up to where you want 'em! Lock 'n load!
Yeah but 99% won't or don't know how to do that. Silly by yonex in the first place.
👍
how does the 100 compare to blade 100?
More headlight and whippy, higher launch angle and a lot better spin.
สวัสดีครับ รุ่นนี้เทียบกับ Vcore100 2023 ต่างกันยังไงบ้างครับ
ตัวนี้ตียากกว่าพอสมควร พาวเวอร์ตํ่ากว่าครับ ต้องมีเต็มวง
@@tantennis ขอบคุณมากครับ ใช้Vcore100 ต่อครับ
The main problem with the Percept is the weird disconnected feel
I think it feels pretty good. Not muted at all. What string you uses?
I own a 100 and love it but I just ordered a 100D to see the difference….
Have you noticed any difference?
@@alng16 yes there is a huge difference with launch angle and top spin. The 100D is much better to return with and if I’m playing really well and aggressively it works well for me but overall I prefer the 100 for the extra spin and power…
@@thatwhit1currently hitting with the Percept 100 and like it with Polytour pro at 50. Already start to think if I should order another 100 or try a new 100D.
