A lighter build of the Pro Staff 97, aimed at players who want that frame's compact head and dense pattern without the full swingweight of the standard version. Still a demanding racquet, just a slightly more accessible entry into the Pro Staff line.

Technology
Paradigm Bending — A layup technology that optimizes the flex ratio between the hoop and shaft, recapturing the classic Pro Staff feel of earlier generations while improving ball pocketing and precision on full cuts.
FORTYFIVE° — A patented carbon layup that arranges graphite fibers at a 45-degree angle to optimize lateral bending through impact, increasing dwell time and pocketing for greater command over the ball.
Braided Graphite & Aramid — The Pro Staff's signature construction — high-performance graphite braided with aramid fibers for maximum stiffness, directional stability, and the responsive, dampened feel the line is known for.
String Mapping — Creates denser string spacing in the center of the string bed for control with wider spacing toward the margins for greater comfort on off-center hits.
