Comments: Played with a top player today (who is probably hitting at 50% of his capacity) who hits the ball pretty heavy. The light weight shows up and simply can't handle the ball. I had to switch back to my BLX 95. Against club players, mind you, this racket is fine.

Comments: I demo'd this frame and loved everything about it. The weight is not to light, not to heavy with room for customizing. The balance feels perfect for me. The power level is interesting, it's like you can control what ever power level you want. Want to nail the ball? Just give it a little more umph and it goes, soft shots with no problem. I love the feel of the handle. I see no short comings with this stick, which is unusual for me. Very nice all across the spectrum. A great looking frame as a bonus.

Comments: Before choosing this racquet I demoed Babolat, Head, and Wilson racquets. Like others have said this stick has an amazing balance between spin, control, and power. If you are demoing racquets make sure you add this one to the lineup it's well worth the try.

Comments: This racquet has no lack of power but does not kill it either. It gives you a nice sense of control without having to wallop the ball to get it to go over the net. It has good spin without having to try too hard. And it has a moderately stiff frame that gives you a feel of control over the ball. I don't even need the dampener I have on it, it's just a comfort deal.

Comments: Hey guys! Ok, so I'm a 3-4 times a week club player, who has been using a Babolat AeroPro Drive for the past few years. What a mistake. My love for Rafa blinded me into using this racquet. It is a great racquet, just not for me. I demoed this Wilson and immediately felt connected to it. I am very anal when it comes to the feeling of the grip (because I use a Western), and Wilson really nailed it with this one. Wilson has started using a flared butt cap on this model and some others, and it just melts into my hand. The result is that I now have a weapon when I step out on court. I can place the ball wherever I want to with this stick, and spin is second to none with the open 16x18 pattern. The weight is slightly under 11 ounces, but the feeling of the maneuverability you get is so worth the trade off. Besides, you can easily slap some lead on it if you choose. I am using Babolat RPM Blast 16 at 57 lbs, and would go even lower next time maybe 55lbs. I might also experiment with strings, as it would be nice to get a little more feel. It is not the racquets fault, just the full poly bed. I cannot strongly enough recommend for anyone thinking about having an accurate and maneuverable stick to demo this racquet. It has changed my game, and given me new zest for the sport. This is a dream stick, and a must try. FYI, I have tried so many sticks including all the Babolats, the Wilson Pro Staff 90, 95, Wilson Steam, Wilson Juice, Prince Rebel 95, 98, Dunlop 300, 300 tour and I just had to have this one. The Wilson Juice 100 is also awesome I have to say and it was a tough choice, but this just felt like an extension of my hand. I hope that helps, and enjoy this magic wand of a stick.

Comments: Having used most versions of Wilson Pro Staff 95, K Factor 95 and BLX 95 for over 20 years, I would say that - for a lightweight racquet - it feels solid and offer the traditional Wilson feel. Fair enough the balls are not heavy but the bigger 100 inch head, plus the traditional Wilson feel adds to accuracy which help you win more matches. The spin created is very good and it is useful against young kids who play with lots of top spins these day. It is perfect for die hard Wilson fans who have lost a step or two thus necessitate a bigger racqet to compensate.

Comments: Wow! This is a great racquet. I felt like my game sky rocketed. Although there is a downside I felt like the head guard was to thin I already trashed my old head guard in about 2 months.
From: Tristan, 5/12

Comments: This is among the most solid-feeling lightweight frames I've hit with. It was comfortable and predictable on all shots, but on volleys it was outstanding. Felt like I couldn't miss. It was strung in the middle with straight Wilson NXT 16, which felt just right. I don't think full poly or even a poly hybrid would work very well, as it would negate all the feel and ball pocketing. Love the new slightly flared butt cap. It makes the handle seem bigger than it actually is, but once you get used to the subtle flare, you won't want to go back to the old style butt cap. Now for the downsides, which all racquets have. The top 1/3 of the head was a little weak and unstable on mishits. This could be fixed by beefing up the frame width in that area. The open string bed is excessive, and it causes the strings to move around and notch too quickly. With a 100 square inch head, it should have a 16x20 or 18x20 pattern.

Comments: A great stick! In fact, the more complete racket I have used so far. I loved it the very moment I saw it, demoed it and now it's proven me right! The serve, spin, drop shots, rallies are all amazing! It generates power by itself, yet light weight. Good job Wilson, It's AWESOME!!!
From: Godwin, 4/12

Comments: The racket generates more spin than ANY other racket I have played with or demoed (including Babolat Aero Pro Drive). Even with synthetic strings the racket generated a ton of spin, which to me was really surprising. The racket is really light and excellent for net play. Its very easy on the arm and you wont get fatigued easily. Cons: You cannot put the balls away unless you hit will all the strength you have or place it very very accurately. The rallies can go on forever. The serves too will not zip away as they would if you were using a regular 11 oz plus racket or so other 10.7 rackets like wilson KBlade Team or Prince.
From: Krishna, 4/12

Comments: Wonderful racket for middle age mens and also for ladies. The maneuverability allows for hitting any type of shots you can imagine. Since it is a Prostaff, the control is still excellent. Yeah, you don't hit a heavy ball, but how often you blow someone off a court with a heavy ball? Never. But you rule by moving the ball around the court at will. Those who are not very fit and standard club players will be scrambling. The light weight can create excellent ball speed and make your opponent chase after wide balls, thus opening the court for you to finish off the point easily. Volleys may float a little bit if you don't have good preparation but if you are skilled, early preparation will still reward with excellent net control. Anything hit over the head is easy because of the large sweetspot and light swing weight. What is not to like? Those who like heavy stable racket and hitting thick heavy balls go some place else. Those young and 6.0 pros won't play with this. But those majority advanced club players not too young anymore, who understand good ball placement, good ball speed, try this out! You will feel revived once again. Control, control, control, you are in control of the points! Just remember, this is not a good rallying racket because it will be too light. But it is an excellent racket to play during a match especially for those who found a players racket a bit too demanding.

Comments: I purchased this racquet because I am an average height woman but on the thinner side. I am at an intermediate level and don't generate a lot of my own power since I don't have a huge full swing. Consequently, I need a racquet that is able to provide some power assist, along with being an average weight (to a weight on the lighter side) but one that is not so light that it gives me too much feedback into my arm. This is the perfect racquet for me. I found that not only does this racquet give me the added bit of power that I need, but I still retain very much control to my shots and against other very heavy- hitters, the racquet remains stable without a lot of vibration or twisting against a heavy ball. I may lower the tension a bit to try 55-56 lbs. but this is a matter of personal preference. Overall I think this is an amazing racquet and it has definitely improved my game! Great job, Wilson!
From: Anon, 3/12

Comments: Play with this stick for 1 month now. For age 35+, 4.0 level to advanced players, this is well worth a demo. Offer added power from full stroke but still have the control and excellent feel. Groundstrokes offers good power and spin. No issues dealing with hard fast balls because 100 head compensated with a larger sweetspot. Serving is a breeze. The only thing on the weaker side is maybe volley because there is not much weight behind the racket but with decent technique and again, its 100 head, it can knife the ball back with ease. It does not play as light as the weight of the racket and I think the trend is going with lower swingweight for better racket head speed, especially when being stretched out wide. The racket also plays comfortably and is not stiff at all so no issue for those with arms problem. I am 40 at 5.0 level and plays both singles and doubles with full accomplished strokes. Thanks Wilson for adding the 100 to the Profstaff line. You should found a market segment here and please keep this product spec into your future offerings.

Comments: Just finished a demo session with this stick and was impressed. I prefer a lighter quick swing speed type of frame. Very pro staff dampened control feeling frame. Almost even balance. A real pleasure to get through the hitting zone with little to no effort. With the light balance it's really easy to deflect heavier shots hit at me. I was literally able to hit half volleys from the baseline as shots were hit back to me. I usually have a bit of an issue getting a good up and over kick on topspin serves. With this frame it's super easy to get the 6-12 o'clock swing on balls. Tons of control and spin. Coming from more wider frames, I do have to make sure I have very clean stroke production to maximize the benefits from this frame. You can't get away with laziness or it will be a short depth type of shot. Very impressed with the frame and glad they made a lighter high control classic beam type of frame.

Comments: I bought this along with the Head Youtek IG Speed 300 here in Hong Kong, and from picking it up right away I felt the racket was balanced (a tiny bit head light) and very easy to swing. On court, it fared well on all aspects of play, and my favorite was the forehand (I use a continental-eastern grip which is halfway in- between) where I could really swing at the ball (with its low swing weight) and power it with spin and speed. Serves were easy because of the light weight and balanced head (unlike the Speed where I found it harder to serve because of the head being a lot lighter than the lower part of the frame) and volleys were easy to reach cause of the maneuverability. It was also very stable when hitting against heavy hitters. The new amplifeel technology with a dampener really reduced the vibration coming from contact with the ball and the large sweetspot really helped make the racket very forgiving. I used Luxilon Alu Power strings on 52lbs of tension (lowest) and it has matched the racket very well. I love the performance and its classic look (the cosmetics was one of the things that attracted me to this racket)and it was absolutely well worth its price. Definitely a all-court player's racket and very stable and comfortable while providing maneuverability, spin and power, I would say this is a MUST demo for all lighter racket players who like balanced rackets. P.s. (The flat beam on the frame does not make a difference although it may be a tiny bit less aero-dynamic but literally makes no difference at all.) <-- This was raised by a fellow reviewer of this racket above.
From: Anon, 2/12

Comments: Based from my demo racket, I could say that this racket has improved the accuracy of my serve. I can get easy access to spin and I could also maneuver the racket really well, thanks to the thin beam. Normally rackets with 21mm beam will be heavy and in the 12oz weight but this one is below 11oz strung, which makes it maneuverable and I could whip the ball with it. I played a competitive 3 set match with it and my arm and elbow was just fine after the match. I did not use a vibration dampener so I could have a better feel. The best asset of the racket is the control that it can give. I was able to hit hard and my ball lands before the baseline. It is a little forgiving on mishits and during my match I had several mishits but I could not remember feeling a strong vibration. For volleys, it gave me control but I have to hold it firmly against a hard hit ball. I would recommend this racket to intermediate to advanced players who has a medium to full swing. Kudos to Wilson for making this racket. I am considering in buying one.
From: Almer, 2/12

Comments: I just finished demoing this racket yesterday and bought it today. Along with the pro staff 95 and juice pro I was very surprised that this racket stood out among the 3 of them. I quickly noticed how spin production came very easily and just like other reviewers have mentioned this frame felt very forgiving on my arm and I felt free to swing away. Yes it's light but it lets you produce power through swing speed. This is a great racket and recommend this for everyone to try.
From: Max, 1/12

Comments: I just got this racquet and immediately fell in love with it. As a 4.5 player, I suffer from a lack of swing speed that is needed to produce a lot of power that some of the heavier, low power racquets demand. I was attracted to this racquet by not only what I consider to be it's good looks but also its power and swing speed ratings. The racquet almost effortlessly glides through the air. As long as I generate a moderately full swing the racquet generates massive spin and depth on both forehand and backhand. As mentioned in other reviews, it is also very forgiving in mishit shots. I experienced no control issues. The lighter weight improved my serves and made volleying easier. Overall I think the comfort level is great for me. I highly suggest those with a medium swing speed give this racquet a shot. Only regret is Wilson does not provide a dampener with this $199.00 racquet.
From: Wayne, 1/12

Comments: I demoed the 6-1 100 and the 95 today. Both racquets were strung at 57 lbs. The 95 required hard fast strokes to get good spin. It sort of felt like hitting with a board. Then I tried the 100 version.... Wow, lots of pop on my serve. Deep top spin shots were easy to obtain. Lobs, best I have ever hit. Volley, were great. I ordered two today!!!
From: Anon, 1/12

Comments: LIKES: solid feel on every shot, controllable power, stability, comfort, big sweetspot compared to the new Six.One 95, nice Wilson "thwop" sound when you hit the ball, zero wobble in the head, able to play flat or with spin, the new handle system feels solid and should be used in all Wilson rackets. DISLIKES: white paint job, chunky frame shape does not seem aerodynamic, strung weight is light, stringbed makes a 'pingy' sound on contact if you don't use a vibration dampener.
From: Mark, 1/12

Comments: I demoed this and the Steam and one thing that I noticed with the pro staff is that it has quite a bit more control. It has around the same power as my 6.1 90, but is way more forgiving. Only downside I found was the lack of stability on hard hitters, but that comes with the light weight of this stick. Overall I'm definitely going to consider getting this one because of its control and forgiving feel.
From: Derek, 1/12

Comments: I demoed the prostaff blx 95 and 100 on Jan. 7th 2012. First I want to say that you definitely get more power with this racket than the 95 pro staff blx. The head allows you to get more stick on the ball for volleys and serves are solid with this racket. I would say though that the ball can sail on you if you do not have the string tension tighter than 57 pounds. You lose a bit of control with this racket. Swings with this racket have to be controlled or the ball will just fly on you. I had to reel in my ground strokes and take a medium swing instead of a full swing. I like the depth when you hit the ball deep because the topspin pushes opponents back with this stick. Overall I would say a seven out of ten for this stick and for the 95 pro staff a nine out of ten.
