A Spin Machine with Class
What makes the Wilson Pro Staff 97S unique is the 18/17 stringing pattern . This is the first Pro Staff racket with this pattern, which offers an optimal combination of precision and spin. Thanks to the higher balance of 33.5 cm (strung this comes down to even balance) and the stiffer RA value of 65, this frame offers extra power compared to the regular Pro Staff rackets.
The narrow 19.5mm frame provides a classic feel and exceptional control, while the addition of Spin Effect Technology ensures you can easily carve corners and hit sharp slices.
Collaboration with Grigor Dimitrov
Developing this racket was an intensive process. For two years, Grigor Dimitrov , also known as 'Baby Federer', worked closely with Wilson to perfect this blade. The result is a racket designed for players looking for extra stability, mass and feel, without the heaviness of Federer's Pro Staff 97 RF Autograph edition.
Playing Experience: Spin, Power and Stability
The 18/17 Spin Effect stringing pattern offers a subtle increase in spin and a slightly larger sweet spot, while maintaining control and ball feel. Although the racket officially weighs 310 grams, it feels heavier during play due to the higher balance point, which provides extra mass and power, especially on shots from the baseline.
The Wilson Pro Staff 97S belongs to Wilson's 'Attacker' silo, meaning this racket is ideal for attacking players who play aggressively both at the net and from the baseline. The frame offers great torsional stiffness, meaning it hardly deforms, which you will notice immediately when volleying at the net.
The Wilson Pro Staff 97S is a balanced racquet aimed at the player looking for extra stability, mass and a classic feel. It offers more power and spin than the regular Pro Staff 97, but without the heaviness of the Federer Pro Staff 97 RF Autograph. For players who like precision, spin and a solid racquet, this is an excellent choice.
