How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the PERCEPT 100L is built around arm comfort and control. It avoids any glaring weakness across the spec sheet. It is easy to swing and quick to maneuver, which suits developing strokes, doubles reflexes, and longer sessions. It is one of the gentler frames on the arm, a sensible pick if elbow or wrist comfort is a real concern.
