PRO STAFF 97 v13 REVIEW | Is It a Pro Staff We Can Handle?

[@MikeKomen]

I felt like my game was on 🔥🔥🔥 with this stick! What did you guys think?

[@Amadeus8094]

Hi, your swings look nice on it since its heavier than the average rackets and it gives this slow mo kinda swing although I am sure its loaded with power :) I am just wondering if 314 g without strings would be kind of tiring for the arm if someone is playing more than 2h of tennis against strong level club players. Also, I tend to see more Blade rackets in the ATP tours (correct me if I am wrong) than the Pro Staff's. Why is that? The Blade would be easier to play but is there an opportunity cost that would justify paying a premium to get this new Pro Staff without taking account the new paint job which is cool btw :)?

[@MikeKomen]

Getting tired all depends on the player’s strength and fitness. As for the blade most pro are actually using a custom “pro stock” frame, it’s just painted to look like the blade. They probably have more players with blade paint because they are trying to sell more of that frame. I think this time it’s worth the upgrade. The braid45 and string mapping in particular is good stuff. Thanks for watching!

[@Amadeus8094]

@@MikeKomen Which racket in your opinion has been used by the Pro's the most? I know for a fact that the RF97 which oftenly receives a high rating on the internet is played by only 1 person RF:))) The Pro Staff 97 by 2 ATP players, Pure Aero dont think alot either and Head gravity only 1 too and I am wondering about the rest...

[@MikeKomen]

@@Amadeus8094 look up “pro stock tennis racquets” those are what the pros use. I think the most used frame is the Wilson H22

[@CourtsideSportsLTD]

@@MikeKomen H22 seems to be released by Wilson as the Wilson ProLabs Blade Pro... would love to get my hands on it but I think its US only.

How would you compare to the (legendary) Pro Staff 6.0 85 Original (v1 vs v13), if you previously played that version? The 6.0 85's been in my bag for the past 35 years & still my favorite. Thanks for the detail review.

[@MikeKomen]

Lucky you’ve got that legendary frame to swing! I haven’t had a chance to play with one but I’m going to guess that this v13 version is a lot more user friendly compared to the OG

[@HNg-re5rx]

I’m thinking of making a switch to this stick after watching your informative review. I too play with a VCORE97 (HG) and really enjoy how well it plays. I just may order this online. Thanks for your review!!

Glad you enjoyed the review and I’m happy to help!

[@Eclipse_Graphics]

Great review. I'm glad I found this channel, it's very informative. I just got the Yonex vcore 95. I wondering what pounds do you string yours at?

[@MikeKomen]

Thanks for the comment Matt, I really appreciate it! On my vcore 95 I go black widow at 52lbs and the demo racquets are head hawk touch at 52lbs.

[@pablomunozcortes8931]

Como saber si la raqueta es original?

[@zxbillfo]

They say that the previous model of 2020 , the black one (not the countervail) is a little unstable due to its open pattern , comparing it with this new one , witch has a denser string pattern in the center.Have you tried the previous one, is there a noticeble difference? Great video !

[@MikeKomen]

The new “smart” string pattern definitely dials it in a bit more compared to the old version. A good improvement. Thanks for watching!

[@ptej348]

Hey there! Great review! I’m an intermediate level player. I currently have Pure Aero but have always been wanting to try PS mainly for 2 exact reasons that you mentioned. For the history the racquet has and because of my 2 favourite players Pete & Roger. I’m thinking transitioning from Pure Aero to PS mainly due to issues of maneuvarability, control and feel. Otherwise I feel Aero is a great racquet. I’d like to see a comparison review between the two. And I’d also like your advise on the best strings available in medium affordable range for a balanced blend of power, spin and control in multifilament and also hybrid stringing options as well. Really appreciate what you’re doing. Thanks :)

[@MikeKomen]

Thanks for the kind words Prabhas! That’s a great idea for a comparison video could even throw in the head speed to compare the big three endorsed frames. I’m currently using the Dunlop black widow string. Great value, I have a video up about it. My fav multi on its own or in a hybrid is technifibre x1biphase, although things start to get more expensive lol.

[@DiegoHernandez-id6pe]

You def woudnt get as much feel with a ps ever because of how stiff and thick the racket is, this is why it is called a hard racket to play with. I recommend the yonex vcore 98 or the blade v8 maybe even try the pure strike

[@junchoi373]

Have you switched yet? I bought a Pure Aero as well 3 months ago, but I realized it is not a good match to my one handed back hand. I really like the top spin forehand, but still my backhand and volley are the issue. I am thinking to switch to PS

Hey man! Great review! Just joined the channel and been loving the content! Will it fare well with a baseline top spin game? Cheers

[@MikeKomen]

Hey, I appreciate the channel support Sharan! It's good from the baseline but there are definitely better options out there if you are a topspin heavy baseliner. Check out my review of the babolat pure aero, I think that is more in line with the heavy spin baseline play. Thanks for watching!

Im deciding between this stick and the blade 98 v8. I'm an intermediate level player and play a more aggressive/flatter style. Any recommendations?

For what you’re describing I’d recommend the pro staff but try both if you can your preferences may be different than mine

[@kernelCR]

Did not see any comparison between your vcore95 and PS97. Could you elaborate on please

i m confused between prostaff 97 and head graphene 360+ extreme mp? my requirement is spin, feel, big sweetspot and confort. pls suggest.

[@MikeKomen]

52lbs head hawk touch. Thanks for watching Jonathan!

[@lonibytyqi6093]

Fellow Canadian! Currently using the 2013 BLX Blade 98 and was contemplating a switch to this stick. I'm a one hander who plays fairly aggressive/flat on both wings. I've demoed the 97v13 and found it a bit underpowered. It might have been the strings being used so I just wanted to hear your thoughts!

[@MikeKomen]

Hey! I thought it had a real nice amount of power. Strings could be a big factor here. Another thing about this racquet is that it will either reward or punish you when it comes to timing. Keep impact out in from and it transfers weight nicely, late and you're in trouble. The weight will be behind you and power falls off a cliff.

[@kornerdiregi3047]

Hello Mike, that was a great review, nice job! Recently I'm a Babolat Pure Drive user and thinking of switching my racquet with a relatively softer one. As you may know, PD is a really stiff racquet and there was no tennis elbow so far. I wonder whether Pro Staff is as stiff as Pure Drive or not? I don't really admire the stiffness of Pure Drive. I know they might be from different universes but some says that Pro Staff is a stiff one.

[@MikeKomen]

Hey! I didn’t find the pro staff to be overly stiff, it’s not the most forgiving racquet though when you miss the sweet spot so many that’s what people are feeling when playing with it. You should try it first though, plays very different from the pure drive. Hope that helps!

[@kornerdiregi3047]

@@MikeKomen Thanks for the help. But I don't have any opportunity to try. Unfortunately, there is no demo racquet where I live. Therefore, there is no way out for me and have to trust the science and reviews. Lastly, missing the sweet spot is the main problem about the stiffness comment of the others I guess. So, you might be right about that.

Great video! Keep up the great work 😁🤟🏽🎾

[@MikeKomen]

[@harrywardle4594]

Quick question would you recommend a heavy racket for beginner adults? As I feel you'd learn how to swing correctly with it. Love the content

[@MikeKomen]

Hey Harry, great question. I’d say beginner adult should be looking for a frame around 300 - 310g. I feel like that’s a good sweet spot where you still have a well balanced and stable racquet that you can develop good technique with, with a lower chance of injury. Going higher than that and playing consistently with bad form will lead to injury very quickly and will slow development. My advice for beginners no matter what age is that the most important thing for that first year is to just get out and play as much as possible. Thanks again for the question and thank you for watching!

[@PeiqiLi-RealLove]

What string do u use Sir, it looks stunning with ps97

[@MikeKomen]

Head hawk touch in red. Really nice playing string too!

[@quotesforyou3906]

Thank you! :) Working this winter on getting better with that short angle forehand

[@andonivr]

How does this compare with prestige mp youtek (now prestige pro 320gr 18x20) I am considering to switch from that one to the prostaff. I have a one-handed backhand, I generate lots of spin with forehand and I have a flat and slice serve, I am aggressive baseliner player.

[@MikeKomen]

I think you’d enjoy the switch based on what you described. The pro staff feels stiffer and a bit more powerful. Also great for touch shots. The prestige is more forgiving and easier to play defence with. Hope that helps Andoni and thanks for watching!

[@andonivr]

@@MikeKomen I played today and I liked it, but I am used to my prestige feel, maybe I need to give a shot the the New model of prestige.

Hi Mike, how is the spin potential for this racquet compared to blade v7 16x19?

[@MikeKomen]

Love your screen name! Should have had you at the FO lol. I’ve only tried the v7 18x20 and the pro staff had more spin potential than that one. Just looking at the balance of each the ProStaff is more handle heavy so you could potentially get that frame whipping a bit faster for more spin. I’ll try to get my hands on a v7 16x19 and get back to you. Thanks so much for watching!

[@MikeKomen]

I’d say gravity for a more baseline/counterpunch dominant game and ProStaff for a more offensive finish at net player. The gravity I found was more forgiving but the ProStaff was great taking the ball early and super crisp at net.

Thanks again Komen.

[@MikeKomen]

Thanks for the kind words Khaled, I appreciate all the support 🙏🏻 grip size depends on your hand and preference. I have a video about how to pick grip size. My personal grip size choice is 4 1/2. I also have a video out all about different strings and tensions so you can find what combination will be best for you. Grip, strings, and tension is all about finding what feels best for you.

Great review. How did this compare to Vcore 95? Can you add vcore 95 scores to spreadsheet? I am thinking about switching to this racket or new vcore pro 97 310

[@MikeKomen]

I liked it a lot! Compared to the vcore 95 the biggest thing I noticed is that you lose some maneuverability and swing speed with the ProStaff but you get a bit of extra power and that made it easier to finish points a bit sooner. ProStaff also felt better when up at net. Hope that helps and thanks for watching Derek!

I went from a vcore to the Babolot to this. Let’s just say right off the bat I loved my volleys and serves. Ground strokes were a bit different. I missed my spin shots. 3 months later, I’ve learned to swing way earlier (before the bounce) and when I do, my spins and groundies are amazing. I love it now. I have two. I use vs poly and natural gut. Strung the non champion way.

My recommendation would be the standard pro staff especially if you’re coming back to the game and want to be playing more. It’s more player friendly. While the RF is great, it’s a bit of a beast, not for every play style. I think you’d get the most enjoyment and comfort out of the standard 97, and I think that’s what you want when coming back to the sport. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment Andre!

For the feel I was also considering how “communicative” the racquet is to the player, like feeling what’s happening on the string bed on impact and the RF was better with that.

Seemed like you really gelled with this racquet! What's stopping you from making the switch? I was quite impressed with this racquet too, especially since I really didn't like the previous versions.

Even with the v13, I feel like 320 is a bit low for high performance players, especially in the modern era.

[@MikeKomen]

I was feeling doubts with the 320g but I think that racquet head speed you can generate pretty easily with it helps to make it feel as if there’s more weight behind the shot.
