pro staff

While the 18x16 pattern, featured in the Pro Staff 97LS and a few other rackets, never found mainstream or pro hype I thought those frames were unrivalled in spin generation. With Wilson (to the best of my knowledge) discontinuing the Pro Staff 97LS, what are some alternatives to this frame...

Hi there - I really like the stiffness of the Pro Staff 97L v14 vs the regular Pro Staff 97 v14 while demoing. Has anybody tried customizing the 97L (aka adding weight) in order to get a more powerful (or maneuverable) pro staff? Thanks! ~Abe

I bought a jk staff, and i realized there are 2 versions. One says ‘graphite midsize’, the other (more common version) says braided graphite on the throat. Ive read that they are the same, then read somewhere else that they are very different. Anyone know the truth?

Hey everyone, I’ve been playing with the Tecnifibre TFight 305S (2025) for a bit now, strung with Razor Soft Black at 48 lbs, and while i really like it, it's been hurting my arm lately especially after longer hitting sessions. I assume the stiffness combined with the string setup isn’t...

I see that a couple threads related to Wilson, one about prices that evolved into something else, have been deleted But I'm curious what paintjobs or cosmetics people would like to see in future RF01 Pros, also RF01s but I don't like how that model plays Because I'm hearing rumours of future...

This thought occurred to me the other day as I was thinking about how the modern game has evolved to require more and more power. For example, the Prestige line is knowns for being a thin, box beam, flexible, heavy players frame, and often with a smaller head size and the same goes for the Pro...

I've been taking my rackets out of storage and going through them, and noticed that my Pro Staff 85 has lost one of its little two-prong throat grommet pieces. It's just gone, thankfully the other two are fine. It's a St Vincent, and after a little bit of research looks to be a version 5, with...

Hi volks, since Wilson 5 grips are virtually unaffordable in Switzerland, and that at least in the next 2-3 months, I am wondering if it is possible to get with Angell's TC models something similar to a PSX or even an RF01 Pro. I consider myself a PS player (perhaps addicted to box beams?) and...

I read somewhere in the thread about Wilson x RF01 that Wilson will release a new Pro Staff before the U.S. Open. However, given that the tournament starts in less than a month from now, and that they've already released the US Open Shift and Clash, what is the likelihood that there'll be a new...

Does anyone know what the notch on the butt cap is for?

For those who played with the PS and moved on, what racket did you switch to? So, I've been playing tennis for quite sometime (28 yrs old today - played as a Junior for 10+ years) and getting back to the sport on regular basis in the last 3+ years. I played with the BLX Pro Tour ever since I...

Has anyone measured the strung SW of their racquet in stock (no customs) ? The SW of 321 on TW just doesn't make sense. I'd say maybe a typo and supposed to be 312 which sounds much more reasonable but it's not first time I see a measured SW on TW that seems too high ... Vcore98 was 325 which is...

I have a couple Pro Staff Six.One 100 v13 rackets I was about to put up for sale, until I put a little lead tape at 12 o'clock. Wow. I cannot say enough about how this changed everything. The feel is there, the power is there, the control is there. I tried a leather grip, which didn't help me...

As the title states, my son's 97L pro staff has got squeaky butt cap syndrome. I've gone to Lowe's and seen that they staples that are way too big for a racquet butt cap. I'm guessing that the optimal width of the needed staple for a butt cap is about 1/4 inch and about 12mm or 1/2 inch in...

Hey guys. As many of we know, the new Wilson Pro Staff V14 is coming early next year. But does somebody know if there is going to be an update for the Federer DNA Backpack as well (not the Pro Staff themed bag)? I want to update my 2018 all-red DNA backpack, so I was thinking if I should wait a...

Hi, I'm looking for a nice, good looking and functional bag that is not too big for a recreational player, that can carry 3, maybe even 4 rackets, with extra space for shoes, clothes and other gear. A big fan of wilson here, so I ended up choosing between the Wilson Super Tour Pro Staff 9 and...

I've been reading lots of online reviews of the Pro Staff RF97 as I'm thinking of getting a couple of these. I've read people's experiences on Tennis Warehouse forums, Reddit, Quora, read all the reviews I could find online, watched YouTube reviews and read comments, etc. So, I thought it would...

Hi guys, Federer is retired, and it doesn't seem to me to have other top players on the tour who play with the PS97 or RF97, especially on the ATP. I read from this forum that there will be the new v14 with bronze color coming out probably in early 2023. I'm excited for that and plan to get...

Hi! Did anyone notice that Fed's racquet for the Laver Cup has a red butt cap like the regular Pro Staff v13, and a brown leather grip? Is that a new model? The RF97 has a flat black butt and a black leather grip. Did I miss anything?

In brief: I'm on a quest to either find a new ideal racket or conclude that the Blade 98 18x20 2013 (v4) is the ONE. I have tried several rackets recently (details below), but have yet to find anything similar. Appreciate your thoughts, experiences, and recommendations for a racket with a...

Hi Guys. I had a hit with a junior at my club’s Pro Staff 97L. She complained she struggles to get power. The one racquet had Signum Pro X-perience 1.24 (i love this string) and the other had Gamma Moto 1.30 and she is trying other string. All strung at 54. I tried the racquet and it felt like a...

So I just ordered this stick from Wilson Pro Labs. UPS should be delivering it today. As soon as it arrives, I'm taking it to my stringer and putting on a full bed of 17g Babolat Gut, string savers, a tan Wilson leather grip and just for the nostalgia, some power pads. How many of you guys and...

I'd like to get some input from everyone who owns the current Wilson Super Tour tennis bags. I've got a 15 pack Wilson Super Tour in the Pro Staff black cosmetic, I have a 9 pack in the traditional color way. From what I have experienced, they snag all of your shirts! I don't find an issue when...

I'm considering if I should buy one of these two racquets? Have you used either? Tell me everything about them! Thanks!

I just noticed Tennis Only (TW Australia) is having a 40% off sale of all their Pro Staff racquets in honour of Roger's birthday. :oops: Doesn't say if it's only for today but while stocks last. Get in quick people down under!

Hey TW Just wanted to see what people's choices would be if they were to choose between the Pro Staff Tour 90 and the Pro Labs Six One 95. I'm a sucker for old sticks and currently use HPS 6.1 and ncode six one 95. Let me know what you guys would pick!

Hey guys! I've recently taken up tennis again as a hobby, and I've been playing regularly for the last 3 months, (4 times a week, typically 90 minute sessions 1 on 1 with a hitter). I was using a my old crappy cheap Prince racquet untill I played enough to make an upgrade. I recently bought a...

I ordered a bunch of the Wilson Pro Staff Six.One (2017) from Europe (I'm in Cali) and they come prestrung with Wilson synthetic gut. I had bought a few of them back in 2017; so I can confirm that even the USA versions came prestrung. I just wonder why Wilson did this and a question in general...

Hi everyone, Been using a Pro Staff 97 (first gen) for a while now and I see that some of you guys have the same problem with pre-v13 Pro Staffs butt caps. The problem is that the butt caps have very sharp edges and corners in some of the sides that dig into your palm. My thinking is that there...
