the 6.0 continues to be one of Wilson's most popular selling racquets. In
fact, the 85 still enjoys almost cult status among 5.0+ level players. This
is likely due, in no small part, to some of the famous players who have used
this racquet. There's no doubt that the 6.0, in either head size, is not for
everyone. However, for the purist player, who possesses solid strokes and is
accustomed to a hefty, head light balance, the ProStaff 6.0 is as good as it
gets.
6.1 Classic
A long standing favorite of touring professionals, the conventional 21mm ProStaff 6.1 features a graphite/kevlar construction in an aero Flat Beam design. The ProStaff 6.1 gives the traditional player a clean, classic feel, in a head light balance. Ideal for players with fast swing speeds and long, loopy strokes, it comes in a 95" headsize, 27" length and weighs 12.6oz. strung. Also available in a stretch (28 inches) midplus version for advanced 5.0+ level players who want more reach, better leverage and greater angles.
Hyper ProStaff 6.5
Players looking for a unique mix of traditional feel and control in a maneuverable, light-weight package should consider a look at the Hyper ProStaff 6.5. The flat beam design together with its dense string pattern promote a solid feel along with outstanding string durability. Ideal for players with a long/loopy stroke style and fast swing speeds, the ProStaff 6.5 comes in two head sizes, 110" and 95", both at a traditional 27" length.
