The Curated Take

The Wilson Pro Staff 97 V13 is a user friendly racquet for intermediate and advanced players looking to get into the more traditional players racquets. It offers a more moderate swingweight and slightly stiffer response to help generate more pace and topspin that is typical of the class. It does retain the great control of Pro Staff racquets of the past with its smaller 97 sq in head size to give players confidence to go for small targets.

Product details

Highlighted by a design that pays tribute to the historic Pro Staff series, the Pro Staff 97 v13 features a new Braid 45 construction that increases precision by adjusting the angle of the double braided fibers for enhanced feel and stability. Two additional upgrades to this racket include a denser string bed that improves consistency on every shot and a new end cap that is used across Wilson's other performance racket lines for improved comfort and ergonomics. Perhaps most appealing for longtime fans of the Pro Staff franchise is the presence of red and yellow pinstripes along the throat, an ode to previous designs of this iconic series through the years. Design also features unique exposed carbon fiber weave with gloss finish above the 3 & 9 of the frame for a slick touch.
