Pro Staff Classic vs. RF97

Can anyone that has used both compare? Spec wise these are very close, pretty much only differences are.

Headsize - 95" vs 97"
Pattern - 16x18 vs 16x19
Swing Weight - 325 (I think) vs 335

I would think the RF97 plays very similiar to the Pro Staff Classic. Maybe a little heavier ball due to the increased swing weight?

I did a comparison b/w the PSC6.1 and RF97. Both had Tour Bite in them. I grew up using the PSC6.1 and using both side by side, I didn't really have to adjust. The RF97 felt familiar. The edge for the RF97 is in a slightly bigger sweetspot and yet a little more predictability in launch angle. Observing how my hitting partner was reacting to my shots, I'd say that my ball with either frame was pretty heavy but nothing really different from one frame to the next.

Thanks, I am using the PSC 4.2 right now but I used the 6.1 as a comparsion because that one was much more popular and closer in specs. The PSC 4.2 is basically the same except it is 11.8 unstrung vs 12.0 unstrung and stiffer.

Does the RF swing as fast as your PSC in your opinion?

The RF97 I used swung as fast as the PSC6.1. When I had the PSC4.2, I felt it swung faster and hit a slightly less heavy ball than the 6.1.
