The Wilson Pro Staff 97 Classic Tennis Racquet keeps the same layup as v14. The frame features Wilson's Braid 45 construction, in which the double-braided fibers are arranged at a 45-degree angle. The design improves ball pocketing and reinforces the racquet with incredible stability. Paradigm Bending is a special carbon fiber construction that optimizes the hoop and shaft's bending profile for greater flex without a loss of power.

Simply put, Pro Staff 97 Classic has more flex in the shaft. The racquet is 11.1 ounces unstrung, so it is designed for an all-court player who has the technical expertise to manage the mass. The Pro Staff 97 is truly a "classic" for experienced players who want a stable and control-oriented racquet.
