Description

The legendary Pro Staff series has been leveled-up to elevate precision, feel and overall impact with this edition being suitable for strong beginners to advanced players requiring a lighter and easier swinging control-oriented racquet.

The headsize at 97 square inches, on the smaller side of modern racquets, gives a tighter sweet spot for exceptional precision for those who can hit it consistently. The open string pattern provides a little extra forgiveness in the sweetspot for additional comfort and power while making spin a little easier to access. The weight being slightly lighter than average at 10.2 ounces (unstrung) brings easier movement of the racquet and an easier ability to generate power. Its head-light balance (unstrung) increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power as well as being conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys. The beam thickness and overall flex of this racquet brings a comfortable, arm-friendly feel while also allowing more "dwell-time" of the ball on the strings for increased control and spin potential.

Wilson has improved the impact of the Pro Staff series for the 14th generation with a number updates; including tech, design and sustainable materials. New Paradigm Bending carbon-fiber construction optimizes the flex between the hoop and the shaft, creating even more feel and precision – the hallmarks of this beloved franchise. Braided 45 construction in key areas increases dwell time and enhances feel, making accuracy easier from all corners of the court. Created to be progressive yet somehow feel like home, the hues of v14 shift from maroon-to-gold, a nod to the franchise’s original accents. The bumpers, grommets and end-cap are made of biodegradable Agiplast by Arkema, helping reduce waste while maintaining high performance.

Those seeking a racquet that enables players who demand the most of their game should look at the iconic Pro Staff series. The lighter and faster 97L makes the series more accessible and forgiving for a wide variety of players. Returning players should find the main physical specs intact with improved overall control, feel and a bold new dynamic design.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
