What is the closest racket to the Wilson Pro Staff 97S (Wilson discontinued the Pro Staff 97S).
I REALLY like those frames and I am disappointed I can no longer get them.
Thanks for your replies... ideas !

Do you use the 1st release or the 2nd release of the 97S? How many frames do you currently have of them?

Thin beamed & heavy player’s frame? Maybe the Babolat Pure Strike VS Tour, Head Prestige MP, Volkl PB10 or the Prince Phantom 93P might work well for you.
Or, I’m sure if you post a for wanted ad here, you should be able to find some 97S.

2nd release

2nd release

2nd release

I think you'd have no problem finding some very lightly used 2nd release 97S in the for sale portion of this forum, or the big auction site.

If 97S is really your go-to frame, I would stock up on it and buy some extra grommets. IMHO there really aren't any other rackets like it on the market (especially not from Wilson, maybe a Yonex thin beam would be the closest?)

I really like the 97S and own 9 of the 1st release 97S with a couple extra grommet sets for each frame

I've got 2 frames. Usually keep 4 in my bag, 2 in reserve= 6. Grip is a 4 1/2

Wanted... (*2nd release) Wilson Pro Staff 97S rackets, grip size 4-1/2. New preferred. Would consider used if in good condition. Looking for minimum 2, like 4 frames.

Thanks... good advice
