Wilson Pro Staff Six.One 95 V.13 (Pro Labs)

[chagazzo]

So I just ordered this stick from Wilson Pro Labs. UPS should be delivering it today. As soon as it arrives, I'm taking it to my stringer and putting on a full bed of 17g Babolat Gut, string savers, a tan Wilson leather grip and just for the nostalgia, some power pads. How many of you guys and gals have tried out the newest version of this iconic six.one? And do you suppose it's truly a pro stock racquet since it's coming from Wilson Pro Labs? I've listed everything I'm doing to it, it's pretty much an open discussion on the racquet and the kind of customization/personalization.

So I just ordered this stick from Wilson Pro Labs. UPS should be delivering it today.

IMHO, "pro stock" means a version (whatever the variations may be - mold/paint/layup/drill pattern/etc) not sold to amateurs at retail. ProLabs seems more like direct to consumer where you get glossy paint pro stock molds - with a retail layup. Not to say that layup is bad, just not the same choices a top pro would get. I have three different pro stock 6.1s and couldn't detect a big difference from their retail counterparts. Just matte vs glossy, with vs without a hologram sticker, & extended vs 27".

After using a few different versions of six.one over the years and now v13, honestly can't tell much of a difference from the nCode ones I used in 2018. Really happy the new prolabs ones don't have amplifeel or parallel drilling, just new examples of an old formula.

As for customization, I put a thinner wilson synthetic grip and lead at 3 & 6 on the v13 and really like it! Thought my backhand might suffer going from 97 to 95 but if anything its been more reliable/accurate since switching (back)

I believe it was commented when the whole Pro Labs thing was coming out that their 6.1 95 was basically the Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 95 under new paint. Is this one supposed to be something different?

I'm thinking about getting one of these while there is a sale going on.

So I just watched a youtube video with TW announcing the Pro Staff 6.1 95 v13 (incl the glossy paint finish) will be sold by them!
Just not in Europe.
So I'll just get mine from TW and pay € 348 (with shipping, customs charges and then 21% sales tax on racket+shipping).
That is US$ 369.
Nice move !
