The Wilson Pro Staff 97 Classic is a control-focused tennis racket that blends the iconic Pro Staff feel with modern performance. This is the frame many serious players grew up watching dominate the pro tour, now refined for today’s game while staying true to its roots.
Built with Paradigm Bending technology, the frame is engineered to flex more through the shaft while keeping the hoop stable. On court, that means clean feedback at contact, reliable control on full swings, and the confidence to take on tighter targets. The result is the kind of precision that rewards good technique rather than masking it.
Wilson’s Braid 45 construction places the double braided fibres at 45-degree angles, allowing the frame to move naturally at impact. This increases dwell time on the strings, giving you better feel and pocketing, while maintaining the rock-solid stability the Pro Staff is known for.
This racket is best suited to intermediate to advanced tennis players who generate their own pace and value accuracy, touch, and consistency over easy power.
