The Pro Staff 97 Classic is a precision-oriented tennis racket developed for advanced exercisers and competitive players who prioritize control, feel and stability. Compared to the Pro Staff RF, the model is slightly lighter, but with a clear weight distribution towards the handle that contributes to extra power and stability in the strokes.

The racket offers the classic Pro Staff feel that the series is known for, combined with modern technology that meets the demands of today's fast and physical game.

Game feel and control

The Pro Staff 97 is designed for players who hit the ball with their own speed and want maximum precision in every shot. The balanced combination of stability and flexibility provides a clean ball hit and high control, even when playing aggressively from the baseline. The racket is suitable for players who value feedback and feel rather than free power.

Advanced frame design and flexibility

To optimize the bending profile between the frame and shaft, the racket uses Wilson's Bending Technology. The double braiding at 45-degree angles allows the frame to work harder at impact, increasing the ball's dwell time in the string bed. The result is improved control and feel, while maintaining the stability that is characteristic of the Pro Staff series.
