About This Item

Since it debuted in the '80s, Wilson's Pro Staff tennis rackets have been sweeping up titles and winning the hearts of players worldwide. The Pro Staff 97 Classic connects vintage style with four decades of innovation. Designed with Paradigm Bending technology to optimize the bending profile between the shaft and hoop, it offers precision and pinpoint control. We arranged the double braid at 45-degree angles, allowing the frame to breathe more upon impact. This increases dwell time while maintaining the stability responsible for that signature Pro Staff feel.


PRODUCT FEATURES:

  • Paradigm Bending: A carbon fiber construction strategically crafted to optimize the bending profile of the racket hoop and shaft. This construction shifts more flexibility into the shaft for an ideal blend of classic Pro Staff feel and precision without compromising modern power.
  • String Mapping: Strings sit closer together, yielding a denser string bed for excellent precision and feel.
  • Braid 45: Frame construction arranges the double braided fibers at 45 degree angles, allowing the braid to breathe more upon impact. The result is an enhanced pocketing feel combined with incredible stability.
  • Classically Inspired Design: Reimagined classic cosmetic that connects nostalgia with decades of innovation.

TECHNOLOGY:

  • Paradigm Bending Profile: Maximizes feel and precision without compromising power
  • Braid 45: Double braided fibers at 45 degree angles results in more feel and stability
  • Graphite construction

Amazing Feel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Went from a blade to this…both great racquets but this I can feel a little more power and control…Wilson #1

Classic Feel With A Twist

I know stranger to Pro Staff rackets, to be specific the RF line, but I took a chance and decided to go with the regular Pro Staff line this time. I’m coming back to playing tennis after about six years. I still couldn’t see myself going with anything else but the Pro Staff. Now that I’m in my mid 30s, the slightly lower swing weight is still substantial but less harsh on my shoulders and elbow. This racket still feels like a Pro Staff, but there’s more give than what I was initially expecting. It allows me to have a little bit more power on my shots, but it’s not unwieldy. Everything else; spin, placement on serves are just as accurate. I can’t wait to play with this racket more.

Now The Rf

Lets get another RF97 back!!! I have 9 of them, but they won't last forever. If you can't or won't use "RF" again, come up with a different name but the same RF97 specs. By the way, your site here shows the spec as a 98" head. FYI
