Wilson Pro Staff 97 V14 Playtest: Serve + Return Practice Myrko & Henning in TCW

The new Wilson Pro Staff 97 V14 (Bronze chameleon colour) is surprisingly powerful to me. I play the heavier Pro Staff RF97A often and the lighter 97 was always a bit underpowered for me. But this one seems more powerful to me here (not the RF97A level, but still very solid). You can hit some serious fast and heavy balls with it, like here at 1:02. Of course you could always add a little more weight at 2&10 or so to this 335g strung weight (315g unstrung weight) racket to increase the plow through. Other than that, it's very precise, as a PS should be, which I always liked about the PS series: you get the feeling you can control the ball and court like with no other racket really. Also the flexing (which was changed from v13 to v14) is pleasant and I like it. I think the different flexing noticeable, but to a very small degree only. The racket does not feel as stiff as the v13, especially as the RF97A I play with starting 5:48 (which has a higher Stiffness Rating). It's not best racket for defence. And the 97er head is not very forgiving, you can hit the frame sometimes on fast balls when defending. But Overall, a great, very great racket. I would rate it 87/100 points.
