Prostaff 95(18x16) alt

[Deleted member 763366]

Hello,
I'm trying to find the closest racket currently available to the Pro Staff 95(18x16).
Head heavy, very thin beam, and the same string pattern.

I was thinking of the Wilson Six One Team 95(18x20) and ask to string it 18x16.

edit: The Wilson Blade 98S 18x16 V7.0 seems straight up closer to what I'm looking for. Am I missing something or is it really, really close?

Dunlop CX200 Tour 16x19 is closest I’ve hit with. Not sure why you want it HH as prostaff was 9-10pts HL

Look at the Burn 100S family or the PS97S family of frames. Add lead tape as needed. If you want 16x15 pattern, try the Ultra Family though the beams are thicker.

Im not sure why you recommend a 16x19 stick? For the HH aspect, the specific model I am talking about is HH not like the other PS.

Im looking for a 18x16 pattern, yes the PS97S would be ideal but this racket is not available anymore. Only the ULS one for some reasons which is much too light and has a wide beam...

I tried the ULS and didn't like it compared to the 97s. I still often use the 97s for singles. It is more flexible in feel than it's stated 65RA unstrung, and plays very solid and accurately. It is a super solid frame without any mods to it, having foam installed at the factory and being a braided frame at 19.5mm with a bit of heft. After adding a kushy karakal over grip, the balance is about 5pts HL, so even though there's another 15-20+ grams on it from the grip, it has about the same swingweight as stock due to the balance. And is the most string insensitive frame I have ever owned. Everything plays well and feels good strung in it. So you can go further and use super stiff spinny strings in it without arm issues, and still have good feel. I had mine for sale a year or so back, but I changed my mind after having tried so many other sticks. If you can find some used, they are worth it.
