WILSON PRO STAFF 97 V14

If you’re strong enough to handle this racket, the payoff in power is huge. The Wilson Pro Staff 97 v14 is a precision-oriented racket ideal for advanced players. Slightly lighter than the Pro Staff RF 97, it still has a high weight that’s concentrated in the handle. Designed with Paradigm Bending technology to optimize the bending profile between the shaft and hoop, this racket offers precision and pinpoint control. We arranged the double braid at 45-degree angles, allowing the frame to breathe more upon impact. This increases dwell time while maintaining the stability responsible for the classic Pro Staff feel.

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIES

Braid 45:Frame construction arranges the double braided fibers at 45 degree angles, allowing the braid to breathe more upon impact. The result is an enhanced pocketing feel combined with incredible stability.

String Mapping:Strings sit closer together, yielding a denser string bed for excellent precision and feel.

Paradigm Bending:A carbon fiber construction strategically crafted to optimize the bending profile of the racket hoop and shaft. This construction shifts more flexibility into the shaft for an ideal blend of classic Pro Staff feel and precision without compromising modern power.

LEGENDARY FEEL MADE EVEN BETTER

New Paradigm Bending carbon-fiber construction optimizes the flex between the hoop and the shaft, creating even more feel and precision – the hallmarks of the Pro Staff.

ELEVATED POCKETING FOR PINPOINT PRECISION

Braid 45 construction in key areas increases dwell time and enhances feel, making accuracy easier from all corners of the court.

ADVANCED DYNAMIC DESIGN

Created to be progressive yet somehow feel like home, the hues of v14 shift from maroon to gold, a nod to the franchise’s original accent.

REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The bumpers, grommets, and end-cap are made of bio-based Agiplast by Arkema, which is gentler on the earth while maintaining high performance.
