Who should try it?
Consider it if you already handle a 315 g racket comfortably and hit the ball cleanly most of the time.
What to watch for
The weight and small head make rushed shots hard work. If you want easy handling, look elsewhere.
How to demo it
Test it under pressure: returns off a big serve, volleys at your feet, the last games of a long set. That’s where a heavy 97 earns its place, or doesn’t.

A more solid Pro Staff with precise placement and a solid response against pace, but still a demanding 97.

What these specifications mean Head size (sq in) The string area inside the frame, in square inches. Bigger gives you more room for error. String pattern How many strings run each way. 16×19 means 16 running up the racket and 19 across. Unstrung weight The frame before it’s strung. Strings add roughly 15–20 g.
