Updated with Wilson’s revolutionary layup technology, thePro Staff 97 v14continues to evolve without forgetting its roots. With its 97 square inch head and beefy 330+ swingweight, this stick combines surgical precision with enough mass to effectively redirect the pace of a big hitting opponent. It also delivers impressive pop to those who can leverage its mass. Featuring the same aramid fibers that gave the Original Pro Staff 85 such outstanding feel, the Pro Staff 97 is comfortably dampened without compromising your connection to the ball. According to Wilson, this update brings back that classic Pro Staff feel withParadigm Bending, a layup technology that optimizes the flex between hoop and shaft. This racquet also hasFORTYFIVEtechnology, which strategically aligns the graphite fibers at a 45 degree angle to increase lateral bending through impact. The payoff is increased dwell time and pocketing for greater command over the ball. Like the previous generation, this racquet also hasString Mapping, which combines denser spacing in the center for control with wider spacing at the margins for greater comfort outside the sweetspot. Ultimately, this update combines pinpoint precision with impressive stability and plow-through. Experienced players looking for a modern Pro Staff that doesn’t forget its roots will love this one.
