The 97L's quick sub-315 swingweight will help you hit shots on the move and react more quickly at net in addition to helping you swing faster when loading the ball with pace and spin. With Paradigm Bending, a layup technique that combines a flexible shaft (for feel) with a rigid perimeter around the head (for stability and power), Wilson claims that this update revives that iconic Pro Staff feel.
Additionally, this racquet has FORTYFIVE technology, which increases lateral bending through impact by carefully aligning the graphite fibers at a 45-degree angle. Increased dwell time and pocketing for better ball control are the rewards. This racquet incorporates String Mapping, which combines wider spacing at the borders for more comfort outside the sweetspot with denser spacing in the center for control, same as the previous version. In the end, this stick remains a clear choice for developing intermediate players hoping to advance to the next level since it packs Pro Staff precision into a lighter package. An added benefit is the traditional Pro Staff makeup.
