Wilson Pro Staff 97 Classic Racquet
Overview
Introducing the Pro Staff 97 Classic! This racquet's cosmetic pays homage to one of the game's most legendary racquet families. With its 97-square-inch head and mid 320s swingweight, this stick combines surgical precision with a nice balance between speed and stability. Featuring the same aramid fibers that gave the Original Pro Staff 85 such outstanding feel, the Pro Staff 97 Classic is comfortably dampened without compromising your connection to the ball. According to Wilson, this racquet 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. Experienced players looking for a more modern Pro Staff that doesn't forget its roots should give this racquet a serious look.
