Wilson Pro Staff Series
The Pro Staff has won the most Grand Slams in tennis history (well, maybe not the racket itself, but the individuals who use it), and it is evident that players value the pinpoint accuracy it provides. With the design of the 2026-introduced Pro Staff Classic tennis rackets, Wilson nods to the elaborate history of this extremely successful series.
Wilson Pro Staff 97 Classic
When thinking of Pro Staff 97 or the classic Pro Staff, one may recall features like classic precision, heavier weight, and a smaller head size. While this 315-gram, 16x19 string pattern and 21.5 mm frame is the racket of choice for those who like to hit with pinpoint accuracy and finesse, there is no denying that this model is relatively difficult to play with. Due to the smaller head size and higher weight, it provides excellent control, however, it becomes challenging to consistently hit the sweet spot and achieve that crisp feel.
Wilson Pro Staff 97L Classic
With more maneuverability and a slightly thicker frame, the Pro Staff 97L is easier to handle. Its 290 grams, 16x19 string pattern, and 23 mm frame allow for extra power, without having to use a lot of effort. Therefore, it is the more accessible option for players looking to experience the fantastic feel of Wilson’s Pro Staff.

Features
Paradigm Bending
This carbon fiber construction within the frame provides increased flexibility. This ensures that the Pro Staff V14 series maintains the classic feel and precision, combined with modern power.
Braid 45
The Braid 45 fibers, innovatively positioned within the frame, result in prolonged ball contact, leading to improved stability, control, and precision.
Ergonomic End Cap

String Mapping
An advanced string technology with strings closer together in the center of the racket head for added precision and control. Larger spaces closer to the frame enhance forgiveness on off-center shots.
