Tennis Warehouse's dated racquet review (October 2023) independently confirms this is the 2023-launched Percept line, 'a rebranding of the previous VCORE PRO line' with new 'Servo Filter' shaft dampening. The downloaded product photo shows the teal/pink Percept cosmetic with 'Yonex' branding matching this listing.
