Wilson Pro Staff 97L Classic - Classic feel in a lighter, more playable format

The Wilson Pro Staff 97L Classic is the perfect combination of iconic Pro Staff design and modern performance - now in a lighter, more maneuverable design. It's designed for players who want the classic Pro Staff feel of precision, control and feedback, but in a racquet that's smoother to swing and more forgiving over time.

Since the 80s, the Pro Staff series has been synonymous with winning culture, control and feel. The 97L Classic builds on this legacy, but with a more accessible weight that makes it perfect for ambitious athletes, competitive juniors in transition, and adult players who want Pro Staff quality without the heaviness.

Game feel & performance

Paradigm Bending technology optimizes the flex profile between the frame and shaft, providing a perfect balance between classic control and modern power.
Braid 45 construction allows the frame to 'breathe' at impact, increasing dwell time and delivering a smooth, accurate and stable hit.
String Mapping creates a denser string bed for even better precision and control in placement.

The result is a racquet that offers Pro Staff feel, but with higher maneuverability, faster swing and better accessibility.
