Utilising a new carbon fibre construction, Paradigm Bending optimises the racket’s bending profile by shifting more flexibility towards the shaft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is significantly more control over your shots and a feel more akin to Pro Staffs of the past, such as the iconic Pro Staff 85.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advantage here, of course, is that you still have the inherent power of a larger headsize to pair with the improved precision – a winning combination for the modern game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere, the Pro Staff V14 retains the stabilising Braid 45 fibre arrangement for enhanced “pocketing” sensation, while Intelligent String Mapping creates a denser string bed to help you hit winners with pinpoint accuracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooks-wise, the frame’s decked out with Wilson’s popular colour-shifting paintjob, this time in a premium matte copper. The hues transition from maroon to gold, serving as a nod to the series’ original accent colours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove the Pro Staff but find it a bit challenging at times? The X is the answer. Featuring the same base specs as the 97 but with a larger 100 sq in headsize, the Pro Staff X is ideal for intermediate and experienced players who want slightly more forgiving performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ml-tab-content__title ml-tab-content__title--large\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content__body\"\u003e• Pro Staff range endorsed by Roger Federer\u003cbr\u003e• Headsize: 100 sq in \/ 645 sq cm\u003cbr\u003e• Strung Weight: 11.6oz \/ 330g\u003cbr\u003e• Strung Balance: 32cm \/ 7 HL\u003cbr\u003e• Unstrung Weight: 11.1oz \/ 315g\u003cbr\u003e• Unstrung Balance: 31cm \/ 10 HL\u003cbr\u003e• Length: 27in \/ 69cm\u003cbr\u003e• String Pattern: 16x19\u003cbr\u003e• Taper System: 21.5mm Flat Beam\u003cbr\u003e• Grip Size: 1-5\u003cbr\u003e• “X” edition features a larger 100 sq in headsize\u003cbr\u003e• New Paradigm Bending carbon fibre construction optimises the hoop and shaft’s bending profile for elevated flexibility without losing any of the power needed for the modern swing\u003cbr\u003e• New biodegradable Agiplast end cap, grommets, and bumper to reduce environmental impact\u003cbr\u003e• Braid 45 construction arranges the double braided fibres at 45-degree angles for enhanced pocketing feel alongside incredible stability\u003cbr\u003e• String Mapping provides a denser string bed for excellent precision and feel\u003cbr\u003e• Ergonomic End Cap yields improved comfort and playability\u003cbr\u003e• Racket ships unstrung\u003cbr\u003e• Please note that all Wilson Pro Staff rackets come without a protective head cover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content__body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ml-tab-content__title\"\u003eUNSTRUNG\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content__body\"\u003eThis racket ships unstrung, but Gotto Sports does offer an in-house stringing service.

Company founder Thomas Wilson’s ambition was to empower athletes, to make everyone who played sport feel like a pro.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat’s why, starting with the wooden V1 over a century ago, all their rackets have been designed to help you play better tennis and enjoy the game. They’re responsible for some of the sport’s most significant innovations, too, introducing the first leather handle grip in 1935, along with the first commercial metal racket, the legendary T2000, in 1967.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe famous frame saw success almost immediately, with Billie Jean King wielding it to win the US Open that same year. Other players soon recognised the benefits of its steel construction, and the T2000’s domination continued into the 70s and 80s – Jimmy Connors liked it so much, he used it to win all eight of his Grand Slam titles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilson have produced so many of the game’s iconic frames. Prior to the T2000 there was the Jack Kramer, the best-selling racket in tennis history. And after it, perhaps the most iconic racket of all: the Pro Staff. Used by greats such as Edberg, Courier, Graf, Sampras, and, of course, Roger Federer, the Pro Staff has maintained popularity right up to the present day, thanks to its winning combination of power, feel, and control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their modern range, the Pro Staff is joined by the powerful Ultra, the feel-focused Blade – as endorsed by Aryna Sabalenka, the spin-based Burn, and the hugely popular Clash, which provides all-round performance for players of any level. Options for everyone, then. That’s the Wilson way.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ml-tab-content__title\"\u003eWilson Pro Staff\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content__body\"\u003eThe Wilson Pro Staff tennis racket is a legendary icon that has been trusted by professional players for decades. With its classic and elegant design, the Pro Staff represents precision, control, and feel. The racket's braided graphite and Kevlar construction offers exceptional stability and responsiveness, allowing players to execute their shots with impeccable accuracy. The Pro Staff's midsize head provides a smaller, more precise sweet spot, enabling players to have full command over their game. Whether you're a traditional player or a modern shot-maker, the Wilson Pro Staff tennis racket delivers the perfect balance of control, feel, and timeless style for an elevated playing experience.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ml-tab-content__title\"\u003eControl Racket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-tab-content__body\"\u003eControl rackets usually have closed string patterns – essentially, more strings per area – to increase ball contact and give you more control over your shots. They tend to have thinner beams to allow more flex and often utilise material technologies to make you feel more connected to the ball.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wilson","offers":[{"title":"L3","offer_id":56877850395001,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L2","offer_id":56877850427769,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4007\/0623\/products\/wilson-pro-staff-X-tennis-racket.png?v=1773938102","url":"https:\/\/gottosports.com\/products\/wilson-pro-staff-x-v14-0-tennis-racket","provider":"Gotto Sports Belfast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
