Few tennis rackets in the world carry the legacy, prestige, and performance reputation of the Wilson Pro Staff. From Pete Sampras to Roger Federer and now a new generation of competitive players, the Pro Staff line has always represented precision, control, and classic feel.
With the launch of the Wilson Pro Staff v14, Wilson continues this tradition, offering modern refinements while keeping the unmistakable Pro Staff DNA that serious players demand.
At Laffies Gear in Midstream Estates, we stock Wilson rackets and help players choose the correct weight and grip size, which is just as important as the racket model itself.

⚖️ Understanding Pro Staff v14 Weight Options
One of the most important choices when buying a Pro Staff is racket weight. Different weights suit different playing styles, strength levels, and experience.
🔹 Pro Staff v14 315g (Unstrung)
Best for:
• Advanced players
• Strong intermediates
• Players who generate their own power
Benefits:
• Maximum stability
• More plow-through on groundstrokes
• Better control against fast balls
Considerations:
• Requires good technique
• More demanding over long matches
This is the closest feel to traditional Pro Staff performance and is ideal for players who want maximum precision and feedback.
🔹 Pro Staff v14 300g (Unstrung)
Best for:
• Intermediate to advanced players
• Competitive juniors moving into adult rackets
• Players who want balance between control and maneuverability
Benefits:
• Easier swing speed
• Faster reactions at net
• Still maintains solid Pro Staff feel
This is one of the most popular options because it offers performance without being overly demanding on the arm or stamina.
🔹 Pro Staff Team Versions (Lighter Frames)
Best for:
• Developing juniors
• Social players
• Players upgrading from beginner rackets
Benefits:
• Easy handling
• Faster swing
• Less fatigue
While still carrying the Pro Staff look and feel, these models are more forgiving and accessible for players still building strength and consistency.

✋ Why Grip Size Matters More Than Most Players Think
Choosing the right grip size is critical for:
• Comfort
• Injury prevention
• Shot control
• Wrist and forearm health
Playing with the wrong grip size can lead to:
• Tennis elbow
• Wrist strain
• Poor racket control
• Loss of confidence in strokes
At Laffies Gear, we physically measure grip sizes so you don’t have to guess.
📏 Standard Wilson Grip Sizes Explained
Wilson Pro Staff rackets are available in standard grip sizes:
• Grip 1 – 4 1/8″
• Grip 2 – 4 1/4″
• Grip 3 – 4 3/8″
• Grip 4 – 4 1/2″
• Grip 5 – 4 5/8″
General Guidelines
Smaller grips:
• More wrist movement
• More spin potential
• Less stability
Larger grips:
• More stability
• Less wrist strain
• Better for flatter hitters
However, hand size, playing style, and personal comfort all matter. That’s why trying rackets in person is always the safest option.
