Wilson Pro Staffs 5.7 and 4.7Eb 100 Stretch

[graycrait]

Yeah, yeah, these are not classic per se, I get it.

I used to think I could hammer a serve using the Prince Michael Chang Ti 95 Longbody. Those are kids toys (I have 4 or 5 of those) compared to these 28L" 100" 16x20 RA 68 & 74 respectively, SW 343/345. The "point" 7's play great with Ashaway Kevlar x Zyex at 65/58 (remember this hybrid strung as mentioned settles in at around 48/50lbs). I bought a 5.7Eb 100 Stretch by accident off the bay and then had to find a 4.7 of the same size. And yes I have the 115" versions of the 5.7 and 4.7Eb Stretch and they are very fun to hit with. Then @travlerajm tells me that a 4.7Eb Stretch 100 made it to the FO finals in 1998. I have to give two thumbs up to @DeanPflu as well. After hitting with the 4.7Eb 115 he provided me I was convinced that the power increase from the 5.7 to the 4.7 had to be explored in the 100" 4.7 version. I have no earthly idea how many longbody rackets I have had but these 5.7 and 4.7 Ebs from Wilson beat them all in my opinion.

I have a 5.7 100 +1.00, strung up with Natural Gut to mitigate the "ping". I recently sold the 5.7 OS +.50. They have a great feel. Can hit big kick serves with ease. Great racquet to pick up from the Bay at a great low price. I normally play with players frames, but I keep the 5.7 MP in my bag for those days when I need a little more easy oomph and spin on my shots. I loved the 4.7 as well back in the day, but felt it needed a little lead tape. The 5.7 Feels great stock.
