97 sq in, 315 g unstrung, 21.5 mm beam, 16x19, 310 mm balance. Control-focused frame for intermediate-advanced players with consistent technique; a newer v15 launched in January 2026.
The Pro Staff 97 v14 is the control benchmark in this comparison: a 97 sq in head, 315 g unstrung weight, 21.5 mm beam and the most head-light balance of the five (310 mm). For advanced players who hit consistently in the center of the string bed, that adds up to precise placement; the small head and heavier weight demand a full, compact swing, so off-center hits lose a lot of pace — the wrong pick for beginners or players still developing consistency. A v15 successor launched in January 2026.
Pros
- Precise placement for advanced players with consistent contact
- 21.5 mm thin beam gives direct control feedback
- Most head-light balance here (310 mm), quick at the net
Cons
- 97 sq in head has the smallest sweet spot here — punishing on mishits
- 315 g unstrung is the heaviest of the five
