Introducing the Pro Staff 97 Classic! Featuring the same specs and playability as the Pro Staff 97 v14, this racket's cosmetic pays homage to one of the game's most legendary racket families. With its 626-square-centimeter 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 Pro Staff 97 Classic 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 racket 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 racket 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 classic Pro Staff cosmetic is a very nice bonus!
