Wilson Pro Staff 97 (v14 (2023)) review: classic precision, now more stable

Mad for gears · 2026-06-03

Setup: natural gut / poly hybrid @ 54. Old-school week.

- Feel: dense, classic, thock. nostalgia that still competes
- Control: excellent once YOU are excellent. it grades your footwork
- Power: low. that is the design, not a flaw
- Stability: v14 added real plow-through. best PS in years

Buy if: full swings, clean technique, no excuses.
Skip if: you want the frame to do any of the work.
