Wilson pro staff classic 85 prototype ?

faultfoot said:

Very interesting frame. Very rare IMO. I don't recall ever seeing a retail version of this 85. Looks similar to the custom Graf Prostaff 85 and the Edberg Classic 85 (non SV version) that Equijet showed us in the past.

Perhaps Equijet can chime in?

Do you have the specs on this frame? Looks to be 22 mm in width and 18 x 20 string pattern. Is it standard length (i.e., 27 inches)? Any idea the static weight?

Nonetheless, unique frame you have there. Thanks for sharing with us.

Not sure if the Wilson pro staff classic 85 with the all black paint job is a prototype ?
Its pictured with the Edberg pro staff original paint job and an early chicago pro staff and the stock pro staff classic.
Many other pictures in the same folder can be viewed.
Anyone know the story or have seen those stealth rackets before ?

I do not have the specs and am away from the rackets now on winter vacation. I think you questions are correct and if you scroll thru some of the other pictures using the bottom scroller you can see the 85 head size and beam width comparisons.

Look forward to reading Equijet opinions ...

This picture shows it over the retail classic:

Yes, I think Equijet might be able to provide some insight into the frame as he owns the Edberg Classic PS 6.1 85 and the Graf PS 7.0 85.

I'm just speculating here but some specs look to be:

-85 square inches head size
-18 x 20 string pattern
-22 mm beam width
-27 inches length

Love to get the measurements on your prototype when you get back. Enjoy your vacation!

I believe your speculation is correct and will confirm when I get back to the rackets. Will also get the weight and balance.
