Need Specs for Wilson Jack Kramer Staff 110 SV

[donns]

I have a Wilson Jack Kramer Staff 110 St. Vincent racquet that I need to restring. It currently weighs 12.3 oz (349 gm), and is approx. 5 points head light.

I'm ok with the weight and balance, but I would like to know the stiffness rating of the frame to help me decide what tension to string the racquet. If the racquet is fairly stiff, I will string towards the lower end, if fairly flexible I'll string more mid-range or higher.

Also, does anyone who has owned/played with this racquet have recommendations for strings and tension. I prefer a multi or sync gut.

don't have the spec you're looking for but 110 head and full graphite, it should be very flexible.

That reminds me - I have one of these that I wanted to try out. I bet it'll be pretty darn good - and certainly a lot easier than the midsize version.

Thanks for your reply. The racquet is 80% graphite, 20% fiberglass. Does that make it more stiff or less stiff than 100% graphite?

Virginia,

Go give the racquet a try and let me know what you think of it.

Mine has been just sitting in the closet for several years, but I decided to try playing with it again. At 12+ oz weight, it feels pretty hefty compared to the modern day racquets I play with, but at 5 pts HL, I find it fairly easy to swing. It feels very solid hitting the ball, even on miss hits. I need very much to restring mine, as it currently has some old gamma gut strings that are about 20 years old.

If I remember correctly, this was sort of a more flexy version of the Prostaff 6.0

yeah sorry about the mixup, it's got fiberglass in it indeed. it's a flexy feeling racquet, even in 85 headsize wihich i own, a very goold alternative to the PS85 which is 80/20 graphite/kevlar...
don't know if it's more or less stiffer than 100% graphite(my guess is less) but by todays standards it should be really flexible!

Were all the Pro staff jack kramer 110 made in St Vincent?
