Since its debut in the 1980s, the Pro Staff franchise has defined precision and feel, earning titles and loyal players around the world. The Pro Staff 97 Classic blends iconic design with four decades of innovation to deliver timeless performance. Paradigm Bending technology optimizes flex between the shaft and hoop, shifting flexibility into the shaft for enhanced control without sacrificing modern power. Braid 45 construction allows the frame to breathe more at impact, increasing dwell time and pocketing while preserving signature Pro Staff stability. Finished with a classically inspired cosmetic, this racquet connects heritage style with elite, modern playability.
