The Pro Staff 97L is a lighter and more maneuvrable version of the Pro Staff 97. Featuring Paradigm Bending, Braid 45 construction, String Mapping, and an Ergonomic End Cap, this racquet is suitable for a large panel of intermediate to expert players and proves to be relatively easy to play for a control racquet. The well balanced 290g (unstrung) make this racquet very manageable which will increase responsiveness on rallies. The wider square section than the Pro Staff 97 (23 mm) allows to find a good compromise between control and power. Power and ball effects will also be facilitated by the 16x19 string pattern to maximize grip and return maximum energy to the ball without requiring too much physical commitment from the player. The 97-inch headsize, unique to the Pro Staff range, gives this racquet a lot of control that will allow the player to find very specific court areas. In short, a high quality racquet for a very wide range of players!
