Introducing a special cosmetic edition of the Pro Staff 97L. Boasting a Bold black and white cosmetic, this is racket is weighted for the intermediate player.
It should also work for the dedicated beginner who wants a racket that will reward continued improvement. Featuring the same specs as the standard cosmetic version of the Pro Staff 97L, this racket doesn’t come with Countervail, resulting in a crisp and lively feel at impact. At just under 11 ounces, the 97L BOLD swings fast, making it easier for less advanced players to load the ball with pace and spin. Boasting a 315 RDC swingweight, this stick plays with above average stability for its weight class. As a result, it does better than many of its competitors at absorbing and redirecting higher levels of pace.
From the baseline, the 97L BOLD rewards full swings with an impressive combination of power and accuracy. The accuracy comes in part from the open 16×19 string pattern, which supplies the needed bite for bringing the ball down with spin. At net, the Pro Staff 97L BOLD offers quick handling, with decent touch for hitting droppers. The mobile weight comes in handy on service returns where the 97L BOLD whips around fast to deliver accurate targeting. Ultimately, Wilson has created a speedy and precise weapon for intermediates. With its controllable power and crisp precision, this is a great option for those who want the performance of a player’s racket without the bulk.
