Wilson Pro Staff 97 is designed to accelerate very smoothly and efficiently through impact. Of course no Pro Staff would be complete without Wilson's special Kevlar/graphite layup, a time-tested formula which lends the 97 its distinctively crisp yet slightly muted feel. From the baseline this racquet has been crafted to swing easier than Federer's RF 97, a fact that will enable a wider range of players to create effective pace and spin. The combination of speed and stability should make this a very user- friendly racquet at net. Factor in the compact 97 square inch head and classic Pro Staff feel, and touch artists should have all the ingredients needed to drop volleys on a dime. Intermediate and advanced level players who want to experience some of the surgical precision and magical feel of Roger Federer's racquet, but with a faster and more explosive feel will find it here.
