Hey there, I know this subject has been discussed many of times here, and I've tried to do as much research as possible but can't seem to match up codes or distinct marks to tell if either of my Wilson Pro Staff Midsize 85's are Chicago, St. Vincent, China or Taiwan. A lot of prior posts here have photos that would be helpful but are no longer able to be viewed. Ill add some photos and descriptions of the racquets I have. Hope someone can shed some light. Thanks in advance!
Wilson Pro Staff number 1) Seems to have a more matte or dull finish to the paint, says midsize on both the sides of the throat and pro staff on both top and bottom of the throat. Also has a bumper guard. Srting info and grip size is on a sticker within the throat. Buttcap code is GRI.
Wilson Pro Staff number 2) Seems to have glossier or shiner deeper black paint coating. This says Pro Staff on both top and bottom of the throat but says midsize on only one side of the throat and the other side says "Braided Graphite/Kevlar Composite 80% Graphite 20 Kevlar" This one has no bumper guard. This does not list grip size within the throat but explains what PWS in on one side of the inside throat, and the opposite side of the inside throat has string information. The buttcap code is SEW with an ® next to the W logo.
The photos should be viewable below (hoping I posted them correctly) if all else fails, here is a link to the album online with the photos of the racquets. Thanks so much!
