Wilson Pro Staff 97 Classic Tennis Racquet

Since its debut in the 1980s, the Wilson Pro Staff line has dominated tennis courts around the world, winning countless titles and earning a loyal following among players of all levels. The Pro Staff 97 Classic brings that iconic heritage into the modern era, blending nostalgic styling with advanced performance technologies.

This racquet features Paradigm Bending technology, which optimises the bending profile between the shaft and hoop to deliver exceptional precision and control. By shifting more flexibility into the shaft, players enjoy a classic Pro Staff feel without sacrificing modern power.

The frame also incorporates Braid 45 construction, where double-braided carbon fibres are arranged at 45-degree angles. This allows the racquet to “breathe” more on impact, increasing dwell time and pocketing feel while maintaining the legendary Pro Staff stability.

With String Mapping technology, the strings sit closer together for a denser string bed, enhancing precision and touch on every shot. Finished in a classically inspired matte and gloss black design with the iconic red or white “W” detail, the Pro Staff 97 Classic connects four decades of innovation with timeless style.
