The Wilson Pro Staff 97 v13 Tennis Racquet brings all the precision and feel of the previous generations with some key updates. Wilson has updated the Pro Staff 97 with Braid 45 technology. Braid 45 gives the racquets graphite/aramid fibers a 45 degree angle weave for increased feel, ball-pocketing and stability.
The Pro Staff 97 has long been a stable, precise, player's frame with excellent feel. Wilson has continued this making the v13 an excellent option for intermediate to advanced-level players looking for precision above all. This racquet is a much more accessible Pro Staff than the RF97 (which is too heavy even for most advanced players).
The Pro Staff 97 remains one of the best control-oriented racquets for intermediate/advanced players.
New aesthetics include the classic red and yellow stripes which made their appearance in the Pro Staff 6.0 tennis racquet made famous by Pete Sampras and Roger Federer. This shout-out to its historic roots gives some nostalgia for those old enough to remember! The hoop of the frame also has a section of unhidden braiding (similar to the look of carbon fiber) for aesthetic appeal.
