Guide Review - Wilson Hyper Pro Staff Rok Tennis Racquet

Advanced baseliners looking to replace that faithful old stick might find its closest match in the Wilson Rok. The Rok has the smaller head, flexible frame, substantial weight, and dense string pattern characteristic of classic low power, high control racquets. The sweet spot is small, making this racquet best suited to high-precision hitters. Serves come off with good power, and well-executed groundstrokes have a solid feel with low shock.
