@RNBABOLAT , I guess @Djinn was hoping for some insight or anticipation from Wilson insiders that may be hanging around here - come on, guys, don't be shy! We love spoilers!

Usually insiders can see the catalog one year prior the release, in that case we might see something close to the start of the 2025 summer. Considering we already can't see at least the paintjob of the Ultra I would'nt hold my breath for any info about Pro Staffs

Fall of 2026. 2 years away. Forget about it for now.

if any whatsoever
I very much doubt they're going to dump the ProStaff any time soon, Interestingly on Wilson's site - sorted by best selling, the ProStaff X, Six One 100 and 97 are only below the RF, Blade Pro and Shift line

Looking to be around Spring 2082, they still haven’t released the Clash

Those best sellers can be altered to suit whatever Wilsons marketing team wants to push for sales. At least my old retail company I worked with cooked those top seller lists all the time.
EDIT: Of course they could be right. PS X receives pretty bad reviews, but the average player might not read those, and like the racquet still. There are a lot of old school PS players who have to move towards more forgiving racquets.

Compared to the RF line?

I did not play with RF97. It would be too demanding for my age already.
I love Pro Staff 97 for its forgiveness and stability having moderate weight.
I started to play tennis on regular basis, using Pro Staff Tour 90 in 2003. This is a racket's line, that my muscle memory was supplied with

What's the latest here? I see the 14 starting to discount

Just their “back to school” sale.
Doubt there will be anything on the Pro Staff line until Q1 of 2026.

A few months back - now it's back to across the 200€ range on TWE etc.
Probably due to the pick summer season, when also competitive players work their butt under the sun, sweat a lot, get dehydrated, and thus smash down their own PS upon the 3rd forehand gone wide.

Blade is a more modern player’s frame IMO. For example it suits my game whereas the PS and RF don’t. Don’t have the strength or mass

The best modern Pro staff is actually Blade Pro- same box beam and thickness, more forgiving, more power at lower static and amazing feel. The problem is the Head Heavy stock balance which the typical Pro Staff user is not accustomed to.
If they want to sell v15 good I hope they bring back a black preferably glossy color... no more stupid paint jobs for this line please.

I found the PS easier to use than BP. Easier spin and much better maneuverability. BP has better feel and more plow but impractical to use in match for my level
Which limited edition was this? One of the Laver Cup paint jobs?
Yes, the Red and Blue grommets, and Silver paint job.
Ah right, now it's coming back to me. Thanks.
I agree I switched from a rf97 to blade pro 16x18. Softness much better on my shoulder and you still get that stability/plow through
sounds like a personal problem and not indicative of either racquet. i have a heavy topspin, fast swing and the pro staff 95 is perfect for me. the blade not so much. again, preference.

lol, new user and already talking down to people here. Welcome
And I literally said “don’t have the strength or mass”, so I’m not sure what bubble you think you’re bursting. Dick

Problem wasn't the correct word choice.
He meant preference.

PS 6.1 95 16x18
That's all I ask

I suspect the 6.1 might not come back apart from the 100

It will be all black, matte finish with a glossy part at the top of the hoop. Orange and red accent stripes on the sides of the head and also at the bottom of the throat. Same specs as the current version.

Did you see it? I am just surprised there are no photos yet. I play with the 97 V14 and trying to plan ahead. I am in the minority that enjoys the current paint job.

I haven’t seen it but my very good friend who owns a tennis shop has when the Wilson rep came into their shop to show off the new products for 2026 so the description I made is 100% accurate.

I wonder how much the racket will cost. I'll probably have to sell my truck in order to be able to afford one.

Racket prices are insane. Everything going up in cost, I can’t imagine being a parent right now trying to finance your kids high performance tennis. Gear, lessons, tournaments etc.

The v14 is about 140USD equivalent in Canada. It’s on for a steal and really debating getting a couple more to stock as I don’t mind the color. Maybe QC v15 will be better as Wilson is trending that way. But there are Rumors of Wilson price jump. Regardless v14 just hits like a truck, love it every time i pick it up.

What's the supposed price jump?
