The Pro Staff 97L Classic brings the look and construction of the Pro Staff line to an easier weight: 290 g unstrung, 306 g strung, a 97 in² head and a 16x19 pattern. With a swingweight of 313, a stiffness of 68 RA and a 23.5 mm straight beam, it has a firm, precise response, with more ball pop than you would expect from a 97. It is quick for those who use a one-handed backhand and good for playing near the net, but calls for some fundamentals to hit the center.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
