Updated with a classic Pro Staff cosmetic, this racquet provides the perfect entry point into the legendary feel and performance of the Pro Staff family 

Introducing the Pro Staff 97L Clkassic! Featuring the same specs and playability as the Pro Staff 97L v14, this update sports a classic Pro Staff cosmetic. As with the 97L v14, this sub-11-ounce racquet brings the legendary Pro Staff formula to the rising intermediate player. With its zippy sub 315 swingweight, the 97L will not only help you swing faster when loading the ball with pace and spin, but it will also help you hit shots on the run and react quicker at net. According to Wilson, this update brings back that classic Pro Staff feel with Paradigm Bending, a layup technology that pairs a flexible shaft (for feel) with a stiffer perimeter around the head (for stability and power). This racquet also has FORTYFIVE technology, 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 has String Mapping, which combines denser spacing in the center for control with wider spacing at the margins for greater comfort outside the sweetspot. Ultimately, by putting Pro Staff precision into a lighter package, this stick continues to be an obvious option for improving intermediate players looking to rise to the next level. The classic Pro Staff cosmetic is a nice bonus.

Good racquet overallI have used this racquet for 2+ years, and it has a perfect mix of control & power, favoring control. However, the racquet is from my personal experience not very arm friendly. It is a very stiff racquet, especially with the light versions, and it can absolutely destroy your shoulder.

Amazing improvementsI love this racquet so much. I used the older version and upgraded to this one last year and the weight transfer feels much more even and comfortable. I’m a hard hitter with topspin and a solid first serve and this racquet fits my game very well. It also is good on volleys as well.

Great racquetGreat racquet, but is misleading to consider it for intermediate because it is a light version. You need good strokes to get the best of it… I've been playing with it since the first version.

Not for beginnerDue to its small sweet spot, it is not for beginners even if it is the lighter version of the PS. When you can hit the ball right, it is very powerful and accurate.

97L v13 vs. 97L v14Between V13 and V14, V13 wins. I like stiff racquets and the V14 is stiff, but it doesn't have the penetration of the V13. I sold it and kept the V13.

Racquet demoI had a chance to review this racquet at my club for the first time. I am a senior player who likes racquets with plow through and stability, so this one just did not fit my style. It was just too light for me, but might be good for those players who like lighter racquets, as the maneuverability was not bad.
