Percept has more power compared to vcp 97 2021, control is the same. In my opinion, the Blade V9 has significantly more power than these two rackets, but it is also much harder to play, no matter how user friendly some say it is. Percept becomes lively with 3-4 grams of lead, but here again I come to Boom Pro, which in stock form has solid power, control, maneuverability and is the most user friendly of all the rackets mentioned. After all, if you come with a VCP 97, you will get used to it very quickly because Boom Pro and VCP head shapes are the most similar compared to all the rackets you mentioned.
