As most probably already know, the Pro Staff 95S will henceforth replace the Pro Staff 95 completely and the thin box beam with the traditional string pattern has disappeared completely from the Wilson lineup as a result. However, several people (me included) are not happy with this decision, as there are those who do not need or like the Spin Effect technology and prefer the control of a more traditional string pattern. However, I can understand that Wilson needs to discontinue racquets that do not sell sufficiently.
Lately, information on the new GrapheneXT Speed racquets from Head has been swirling around, with a racquet they call the Speed MPA in the lineup, which is a Speed MP with differing grommets based on whether the player wants to play a 16x16 or a 16x19 string pattern. The general idea of a racquet which is designed for the use with different string patterns seems to be the perfect solution for the "conflict" between Wilson and the unsatisfied players (people like me). Furthermore, it seems that Wilson could profit from this as they would be combining the markets for both racquets, meaning that the target group would be enlarged, which usually implies increased sales.
(the technology/method could of course also be applied to their other S racquets in order to save production costs)
I admit that I don't know how much money would be involved in the development of such a racquet (technology) for Wilson (or to which extent there would be a copyright infringement with Head's products) and whether it truly will be profitable for them in the end, but we have seen that they are in fact reading these boards, so I'll just throw this idea out into the open in case it catches anybody's interest and seems feasible (it certainly would be worth it for me!).
