Default Wilson PS85 officially gone for good (?)....

......from anyone that cashes any money from "pro" tournament play?

Yeah, yeah, yeah......I know, I know.

It looks like the last official hold-out for the Wilson Pro Staff Midsize, Aaron Krickstein (shown below)....



.....may have finally hung up his PS85s. I was watching the ATP World Tour show after the Indian Wells final today and saw footage of him hitting with a Wilson frame with a BLX90. It was just a nice former player catch-up piece.

It was pretty shaky coverage just showing his return game from a court-side cam, but it seems he's switched.....barring a BLX90 pj'd PS85 which is highly unlikely.

May the PS85 RIP.....

You forget Federer still uses it under his BLX PJ.

Regardless, the PS85 will always sit atop the "genealogical" tree of Wilson's pro staff line. Yes, I know there were a couple of models, such as the Jack Kramer PS85 that preceded the PS 6.0 85, but IMO that version was a prototype and the PS 6.0 85 is the *definitive* pro staff and always will be.
