NEW Wilson Pro Staff v14 (2023) - Pro Player Review 

All rackets strung with Solinco Tour Bite @54lbs

What a gorgeous one-handed backhand the guy has

These rackets grow on you… they make you get better and it’s such an enjoyable experience. Love RF rackets!

ATT really stepping it up. Love the new format. Michelle is a find though. Explains stuff for us mere mortals in a way we can understand and judge if it would suit us or not.

Cheraag’s strokes are CLEAN!

Best review I've seen. Love how you had her elaborate on exactly what she loved and disliked about the racket. Most RU-vid reviewers give very basic and very generic feedbacks. Great job!

more Michelle please 😍

switched from the Blade 98 v8 to the 97 Pro Staff after testing, it gave me the additional power and stability I felt the blade lacked (even after adding weight). Agree there was an adjustment period with late contact due to the Pro Staff's additional weight and its balance (more headlight) making it slower through the air

Great video. Loved the low angle hitting. You get a sense of the power and how clean these rallies are. Would like to see more of Cheerag. He was phenomenal

great review guys. love the format!

Great as always.

This is a great review, thank you.

Best reviews on RU-vid!!! Excellent analysis and the players are top notch. Getting a male and female perspective is perfect. Keep up the great work.

Lol! Holy crap! That opening point with that one handed backhand, that backhand was as pretty and elegant and amazing a backhand that I've ever seen and you almost never get to see a backhand like that from that angle. I feel like these are the best players I've ever seen reviewing rackets for us normies.

Excellent review. Keep up the good work

Michelle’s awesome

I play tennis 🎾 with a Wilson size head 110 it was still maded off aluminium years ago awesome racket from Wilson

It was valuable to hear the change in initial impression. It is a good point to make that during a match the lighter, more powerful racket might actually be the more logical choice.

This format is great for single racquet testing but please don't change away from your best-of-eight format which you do for racquet testing, as that is a very helpful compare/contrast between models. :) For single model multiple SKU evaluation, this format is informative (getting feedback along the way) and feels very comprehensive, thank you! Your comments guiding the players are a good way to dig into each aspect as they are hitting, and also your observations while they play re smooth, super informative!

Loving this format.

I liked the review….Im a Sr teaching pro…60+ years old…I prefer the 97 when I play…lower launch angle, great for passing shots…hitting angles. The description I use is that the 97 is “intuitive “….pick your shot and rip it. The 100 hits the ball discernibly higher…I use it to teach…easy power…I average 35 hours per week teaching, ..easy on my arm…it’s the only 100 inch frame I’ve ever found that gives me the confidence to hit out on the ball. I loved the V97 within the first 5 minutes of hitting with it!

Loved it, subscribed 👍🏼

I’ve recently switched to the Blade from the PS. Bit more flex in the Blade, feels sharper and more manoeuvrable than the PS. PS is loads better on volleys and half volley pick ups. More stable and just has more mass. You have to really focus on blades at the net as the head can be a bit unstable at times.

Love this! What strings were used?

I tested both rackets, the X Model feels a lot less head heavy than the ProStaff. Although they‘re the same weight, the PS gives you a lot more stability, especially on the single-handed backhand. I ordered 2 :-)

Love the format. Very "real" first impressions.

With what strings and what tension were the Pro Staffs tested with? The strings and tension is just as important to take note of as the review is for the feel of the pro staff with that specific string and tension. My v13 is a different stick with different strings and tensions.

i use the pro staff 97 the last 6-7 years...i bought this one last month again, 97 head 315 grams as the older ones i have and i find the v14 an easier raquet than the previous ones but very close the way they play...the string i use is lux alu light @58lbs

yes more michelle please

Fantastic Review. I am playing with PS97 V11 Black (non CV) and think about to switch to the new PS97 V14.

Great review! Cheraag has beautiful strokes, a bit Dimitrov like, especially his backhand. Is he about to enter the ATP tour?

Michelle awesome go

I wonder how Michelle would feel with the PS 97L v14. Se could even add a bit of weight to the handle to make it more HL and closer to the static weight of her Blade... That said, I know a lot 2HBH players prefer the Blade to the PS, and OHBH prefer PS to Blade. Regardless, she's got game... even if she thinks her shots are "plingy" (sp?). Cheraag was straight up blasting the ball. Those backhands and serves. 🧑‍🍳😘

If she needs a bit more control in the 100. String it a bit tighter. Try 56 lbs and try Head Lynx Tour as string. She should try the rackets at different tensions. maybe lower the tension in the smaller frame and tighten it in the bigger frame. What a sweetheart she is.

I still have and hit with the 97 ! And the newer Pro Staff also with the Blade .

Excellent review format. You really feel you’re here on the court. One suggestion: would be good to know the players’ current setup (Blade 98 has two versions for instance), and the strings/tensions of the play test.

Wonder what Michelle would think about the V14 Six.One 100 at 305g?

You should get Michelle to try the Pro Staff 97L to see if it suits her better!

Michelle ma belle these are words that go together well my Michelle

what an Intro 😁

Great feedback. Ive been using Head Speed Pro for a few yeara and wasnt shopping for a new racquet. My buddy was demoing the v14, the X, and a couple Diadem racquets. I hit them all then hit the X, what a stick! It was like a hungry bear growling to be fed.

How does you compare the x with the Gravity pro and the v Core 100 ? Thanks

I'd love to be able to try and test rackets out - but unfortunately - here in SA the tennis scene is pretty small and underfunded so we have super limited rackets to even choose from.

That girl rocks

Hello nice video can you compare the head speed pro with Wilson Pro staff x in control and maniobravility? Many thanks

The Brit’s do racket reviews really well.

What string tension has the X14 test model?

What strings and tension did you use? 👍🏼

Really want to see him reviewing radical pro to see his opinion comparing radical pro to prostaff97 v14

Are there any news with Cheraag and PS97 v14 pls?

The only reason I watching this is because of Michelle to be honest! I could give a hoot about the new rachet even though I have a pro staff that Stephan Edberg I believed played with... yea it's old! LOL Hey, she has a beautiful wonderful smile that's so addicting to look at IMHO!

The Wilson pro staff very good racket what strings is the best for this racket

Wonder if Michelle has tried Tecnifibre racquets.

That backhand looks even better than Federer's!

프로스테프는 정말 멋진 라켓인듯 합니다

Im looking for changing my prostaff 95 to something with a bit more power and a bigger headsize, probably the prostaff x could be the one

how this X version compared to the team version v13? thanks

Michelle is top ❤❤❤

Really enjoyed the tennis play, that dude has such a good style and amazing backhand, would love just to watch him play, if anyone has his socials or if he has a youtube channel for his play please reply with it

u guys have been playing blade 98 or blade 98 pro?

What string would you recommend?

nice stuff! can we follow Michelle and Cheraag through their careers? can’t find the full names..

damn wish i had a ohbh like that

once you play with a 98 head size and more control racket you feel like you just bash all balls out with a bigger head size/frame racket. Im looking for a more arm friendly racket than my blade 98 atm and i am going to demo a pure aero 98, hope it will reduce the strain on my arm as i play with heavy top spin and whippy technique usually.

Is that Josh in the yellow shorts making all that noise in the background? Was he channeling his McEnroe? 😂

👍👍👍

Wow she’s beautiful.

Blade is a wet noodle compared. Stiffness makes all the difference on power. They should make it a 98 head size and 18x20 pattern

First of all, the lovely Michelle made me weak in the knees by the way she strikes so awesomely and her beauty!!! Oh, and the erm, racquet. Yes, that too is stunnning ; )

How is Michelle not ranked top 200 in WTA?

who is the guy playing? his form and technique is so good!

Ig Michelle?

She hits flat, that's why she has to slow down her swing in order not to hit the ball at the back fence. If you hit spin, you could accelerate as much as you can without losing control

I just don't like Wilson's rectangular grip shape. i play with Prince Phantom 97P. Their grips are round. it fills up my palm much more than the rectangular shape. I feel more locked in. I just wish I could change the pallet like Head rackets because Wilson have great frames.

god, she is beautiful!

The guy learned tennis whit a miroir and waching Dimitrov. Is realy toooo much

Why the hell is Wilson making a 100 sqi Pro Staff? Actually two if you count the six one. The Pro Staff line is all about control and feel. Yet they have no mid sized option.

I can’t take a PS seriously that doesn’t have a leather grip. How can Wilson charge so much for this?

ma sta patana?

Cheraag gets destroyed at British Tour level. Also, is that Josh Berry on the other side?

Michelle insta name pls ?

plingy

Probably one of the ugliest looking racquets on the market, love the seasoned manure colour 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣

Good review but this is all very personal of course. These are no pro players btw

Fake leather strap 🤮

Racket plays nothing like old pro staff, should not even call it a pro staff, paradigm bending crap makes it to flexy and this to me is a pathetic attempt from Wilson to appeal to more general players. If you can't play with a pro staff then don't, find something for your game and style rubbish racket can't believe the positive reviews sold my 2 immediately...

She looks like Kriti Sanon. Beautiful!
