Wilson keeps updates one their most popular racquet models for Version 13.0 of the Wilson Pro Staff RF97. The frame is again blacked out in the velvet paint finish which gives the racquet a sense of luxury and class worthy of the Pro Staff legacy. The RF97 is designed for all court players who crave precision above everything else. The new cosmetic features subtle silver and greys stripe adjacent to the Pro Staff logo, and a contrast glossy section of the upper hoop of the frame shows off the exposed carbon fiber weave. One of the key aspects of the racquet is the Braided Graphite construction which provides a pure, solid and consistent feel that players have loved for decades. This construction also dampens vibration and enhances touch and control. At 12.0 ounces unstrung, the RF97 is designed for advanced tennis players who are used to swinging a heavier racquet. The 16x19 string pattern can work well for flatter hitters or heavy topspinners, and the higher swingweight is a perfect fit in the hands of an accomplished serve and volleyer. The RF97 has more old school 9 points head light (strung) balance to make the weight a easier to manage during a long match. With version 13.0, Wilson continues the outstanding tradition of precision that can only be associated with the Pro Staff moniker, and Roger Federer himself.
