FAQs
What is Braid 45 construction?
Braid 45 construction is a unique feature that uses double-braided fibers arranged at 45-degree angles to provide increased stability and an enhanced pocketing feel.
How often should I restring my racket?
Restring your racket based on frequency of play and the type of strings used. As a general guideline, restring as many times per year as you play per week. For instance, if you play three times a week, restring three times a year.
What is the benefit of the ergonomic end cap?
The ergonomic end cap improves comfort and playability, making the racket more comfortable to hold and use during long matches.
How does Paradigm Bending affect the racket's performance?
Paradigm Bending optimizes the bending profile of the hoop and shaft, offering greater flexibility without sacrificing the power needed for modern swings.
How do I choose the right grip size?
To choose the right grip size, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the second line down on your palm. Alternatively, try holding the racket, and there should be a finger’s width of space between your palm and your fingers.
How can I protect my racket?
Store your racket in a racket bag when not in use. Avoid leaving it in extreme heat or cold. Clean it with a damp cloth after each use.
Can I use any type of strings?
Yes, the Pro Staff 97L V14 is compatible with various string types, including synthetic gut, natural gut, and polyester strings. Choose a string that suits your playing style and preferences.
What is the benefit of a denser string bed?
A denser string bed provides elevated feel and outstanding precision, allowing for greater control over your shots.
