Description
The Wilson Pro Staff 97L Classic brings the legendary precision and iconic heritage of the Pro Staff line to a more accessible, lighter frame. As part of the 2026 classic release, this model features the beloved retro aesthetic, including the signature red and yellow stripes against a matte black finish, paying homage to the frames that defined championship tennis in the 80s and 90s.
Built for intermediate players and rising juniors, the 97L Classic offers the surgical accuracy of the Pro Staff family without the demanding weight of the standard 315g version. It utilizes Paradigm Bending technology to create a flexible feel that mimics the classic graphite-kevlar layup, providing exceptional touch and a "connected" feel on every shot. The lighter weight allows for faster racquet head speed, making it easier to generate spin and react quickly during fast-paced net exchanges.
  • Best Suited For: Intermediate players, competitive juniors, and doubles specialists who want the control and prestige of a Pro Staff in a highly maneuverable 290g package.
  • Key Technology:
    • Braid 45 Construction: Strategically angled fibers enhance feel and stability, allowing the frame to flex naturally for better ball pocketing.
    • Paradigm Bending: A specialized carbon fiber layup that optimizes the flex between the hoop and shaft for a classic, plush response.
    • String Mapping: Denser string spacing in the hitting zone provides predictable control, while more open spacing toward the edges increases the sweet spot.
