Introducing the Noir Pro Staff 97 v14! Featuring a sleek black cosmetic, this racquet has the same specs and playability as the standard Pro Staff 97. 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 Noir 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 with Paradigm Bending, a layup technology that optimizes the flex between hoop and shaft. 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. Ultimately, this racquet 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. The sleek black cosmetic is a nice bonus!
