Wilson ProStaff 6.0 95 discussion thread

They don't. 6.0 are squared shaped, 6.1 are oval. I have both, I played extensively with both, I know I'm saying. And I asked Wilson, for good measure.
I also still have sets for both racquets, they are completely different.
My hope lies on 3D printers

Loved the feel & precision of the PS90 but was getting better performance with my HPS 6.1 95. I absolutely hate its hollow feel though. So I started a search for a flat/box beam frame with similar specs to my HPS and discovered the 6.0 95, with the added bonus of having the best pro staff PJ.
Managed to get a pair second hand and eagerly awaiting my next session to give it a go. Added 3g at 12 o clock to up the swing weight. 350g static, 9 HL, 330sw strung. Perfect strung specs for me on paper.
Can’t wait to hit with them! Really hoping I will get something akin to the PS90 feel.

PS 6.0 95 has been my favourite racket for a long while now, I sold all the modern rackets I had and sold the classic rackets with smaller head sizes and the POG OS which felt great but gave up to much in the serve. I just picked up a PS 6.6 Stars and Stripes to use as a backup to the 6.0 95, will be interesting if I like the stiffer frame and denser string pattern over the 6.0, I haven’t tried it yet but so far it feels a bit heavier and swings a bit slower. The 6.0 has a leather grip and over grip so maybe a bit more headlight than the 6.6 I have, so I’ll try and tweak them to be more similar.

I bought a used 6.0 95 to play w regularly, but found it hard to play w. Any off-center shot would die into the net.
Since found the 97s boxy frame and now the 7.5 95. I like the 7.5 bc of the flex. My son is using the 97s.
Checked my 6.0 and it has 2 hairline cracks now, not from hitting the ground. Seems it's become brittle w age, unfortunately.

The PS tour classic 95 (6.6) has a more HH balance and feels heavier to swing compared to the 6.0 95 (same goes for the 85’s btw) with less vibrations on off-center hits. I’d describe the feeling as if the frame holds up better on strikes outside the sweet spot and has overall a slightly more powerful and stiffer but at the same time more dampened/muted response compared to the 6.6 so I did not find it harsh in any way. I'd say it's horses for courses regarding which one suits a certain player better. The feel of the 6.6 i would describe as inching more towards the head classic prestiges (not the same at all but more in that direction) given the more dampened response compared to the lively and very pure feel of the 6.0. Overall to me the 6.6 plays a bit more forgiving and less maneuverable than the 6.0 but not night and day different.
Share your impressions when you have compared them - preferably if you can string them w the same (or at least) very similar strings

I strung the 6.6 with Wilson sensation plus as the pro shop didn’t sell any natural gut which I really wanted to try and the 6.0 had yonex poly the soft feeling bright yellow one in 1.25. I had a chance to hit some serves and hit against a wall with them and surprisingly the 6.6 feels lighter and easier to swing, but the 6.0 has a leather fairway grip and Wilson pro over grip while the 6.6 only has one synthetic prince grip on it. The 6.6 was sold to me as having a 4 1/2 size grip but it feels similar or slightly smaller than the 6.0 which is supposed to be my preferred grip size which is one grip smaller than the 6.6, which makes me think they are the same size. I preferred the weight and swing of the 6.6 and I’m now thinking of taking the leather grip off the 6.0 to get it to similar spec to the 6.6. The 6.0 measures 10 pts HL and the 6.6 measures about 9 pts HL. I think I prefer the control on the 6.6 with less flex in the head but they both feel extremely sweet to hit. Anyway that’s my first impression with different strings will string them the same next time with gut or hybrid, any more recommendations on strings and tension would be welcome.

Long shot but I’ve always been curious about the 6.0 95’s twist weight. I’d imagine it would be on the higher end considering I’ve never had stability complaints with this racket despite its thin beam and being lighter than its 85 or 90 counterparts.
I don’t have tools to measure my collection and TWU database does not have it either. Wondering if there’s a kind soul out there who is able to measure and share their twist weight specs? Thanks!

I got a new one from Wilson Chicago via an online website
That’s my setup.
With the polysorb I have it up to 367 gms
Babolat VS touch at 45 pounds
Amazing
My base racquet from 1984 to 1997 was the 110 Pro Staff which i lost. Then went to a Pro Staff six one BLX. the BLX always felt a bit off for me

As long as that is not one of the Jr noodles becuse they would probably have to forfeit becuse the model is broken as in the frame broke.Well, I guess skills are the keys to winning instead of the racket.A 5.0 player would probably wipe me out with a cheap racket from Wal-Mart.
