Wilson Pro Staff 97 v13
Wilson updates the legendary Pro Staff. With 13 generations woven into the history of the racquet the new Pro Staff is loaded with some new features. Updated with Braid 45, the racquets graphite and aramid fibers have been woven at a 45 degree angle to enhance feel, pocketing and stability.
Wilsons proven String Mapping technology creates a denser spacing in the hitting area for a more controlled response.
This generation of the Pro Staff 97 offers a bit more control than the previous version which should provide players with additional confidence when taking full cuts on the ball.
Overall, Wilson provides us with an impressive update both in terms of functionality and cosmetics. This racquet is designed for intermidiate and advanced players looking for controllable power and precision.
Wilson updated the butt-cap on this racquet, it now features the Ergo End Cap, which is a slighlty more flared out butt-cap than found on previous models.
