Description
Since its launch in the 1980s, the Wilson Pro Staff tennis racket line has consistently conquered major titles and captured the hearts of players worldwide. Featuring a lightweight and incredibly flexible frame, the Wilson Pro Staff 97L Classic is the perfect blend of classic style and four decades of technological innovation.
The racket is equipped with Paradigm Bending technology , which optimizes the bending between the shaft and the rim, resulting in high accuracy and superior control of ball landing . The double-strung structure is arranged at a 45-degree angle , allowing the frame to “breathe” more upon ball contact. This extends the ball’s hold time on the racket face while maintaining stability – the key element that creates the signature Pro Staff feel that has made this legendary racket series so famous.
The Pro Staff 97L Classic is a classic-style tennis racket that still incorporates modern technology, suitable for technically skilled players seeking a balance between accuracy, feel, and control.
RACQUET COMES WITH NO STRINGING.
