What customers say about "Key Specs"
Wilson Pro Staff 97 Matte Black Midplus 16x19 Tennis Racquet Strung with Custom String Colors
- Wonderful feel, great racket for a one-hander.
- Plenty of power and spin, great for those with faster swing speeds.
- I've used this racket for years. It's like an old friend, reliable, comfortable, and consistent. Wilson created magic with this racket.
- It's maneuverable and forgiving, and it offers easy access to power and spin.
- The feel! The Pro Staff 97 felt so comfortable from all areas of the court, even on off-center shots. I also liked the easy power and spin.
Wilson Pro Staff 97S Tennis Racquet
- I loved hitting slice backhands with the Pro Staff 97S. I also liked the classic feel combined with the spin-friendly stringbed
- A really nice all-around stick! It had a great blend of power, control and spin to go along with its plush feel.
- The thin beam gave me good feel and comfort compared to the RF97 Autograph.
- The Pro Staff 97S may have the softest, plushest feel of the group, making it nice and arm-friendly.

What customers say about "Features"
Wilson Pro Staff 97 Matte Black Midplus 16x19 Tennis Racquet Strung with Custom String Colors
- The 97 is just a little lighter than the RF which suits me. I ordered this one from Wilson so I could get the 97 in all-black.
- Not too light and not too heavy but very stable at the net. I believe this is one of the best all around raquets.
- The latest Pro Staff97 design is amazing (well balance, good control and feel, plenty of power)
- I have been playing with Wilson rackets for 30 years and the PS 97 is a great blend of power and feel and one of the best "player's rackets" on the market
- Love it, stiff, great feelingl. Looking awesome too.
Wilson Pro Staff 97S Tennis Racquet
- The 18x17 string pattern added some spin but didn't cause the inconsistencies I have found in other Spin Effect racquets.
- And of course, the stock leather grip gave me good feel!
- It offers a unique feel with its 18x17 string pattern.
- I liked the look and feel of the Pro Staff 97S.
- I love how it rings when you make a good shot.
