Guide Review - Racquet Review - Wilson Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 Standard Length

With a 95-square-inch head and a flat beam 22 mm wide that Wilson rates with medium flex, this racquet will make you generate your own power. The balance, head-light by 1 1/4", provides enough maneuverability to encourage ventures to the net. The 12.3 ounces (strung) might seem heavy to some, but that weight helps to minimize shock on groundstrokes and contributes to the racquet's very solid feel. If you take big swings, you need predictability. The Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 offers an optimal mix of spin potential and control.
