Anyone here extended the Pro Staff RF 97 by 1/2 inch with XTP Butt Cap or something similar?

How does it play?

No. But i imagine it plays like a sledgehammer.

One of my friends extended an RF97. He said it was unplayable.

I guess it would feel similar to the Bisner

There is no need to. Already has a ton of plow thru and swing weight.

I put an XTP buttcap on one as an experiment. (1/2" = +20 SW)

The increased swingweight is quite a beast, I was late on a lot of groundstrokes and had trouble getting over the top of my kick serves...

I'd imagine this would suit 2HFH+2HBH players.

Not to derail your thread...actually thinking about cutting it down by half an inch. Anyone cut down their RF97?
