This classic from Wilson Pro Labs combines surgical precision with outstanding feel
Introducing the Pro Staff Six One 95 v14! Like the previous generation, this v14 release delivers all the predictability and directional control that comes when you combine a compact 95 square inch head with a dense 18x20 string pattern. The Pro Staff Six.One 95 also packs a 325 swingweight, giving it just enough stability to absorb and redirect the pace of a big hitter. Technologies include Paradigm Bending, which optimizes the flex between the hoop and shaft to deliver that classic Pro Staff feel. Ultimately, the Six One 95 18x20 is a great option for the experienced player looking for an extremely precise weapon.

Old faithfulBack in the early/mid 90's, I used 1990 Pro Staff 95 5.5 si racquets. I stopped playing around '95....my buddy and I played around 25-30+ hours a week for many years, but when he moved to FL to teach at Bolletieri's, my tennis days were abruptly done. Fast forward to the present; I bought one of these v14's. It feels like a slightly more refined version of my old Pro Staff racquets. Pro Staff racquets seem to come alive and reward players who hit aggressively and with a relatively high swing speed.....once I got back in the groove and my stroke mechanics started to quickly return, it felt like what I remembered. I did string this much looser at 57 pounds than what I used to string my old racquets at (65 to 68 pounds) and it seemed fine. With so many string choices nowadays I wasn't sure what to go with, so I chose Yonex Rexis Speed 16L. Seems to be a step up from the 90's standard of 16 gauge Prince SynGut and felt good on this racquet. I know the reddish brown color is a bit polarizing to some, but it quickly grew on me and I like how it changes colors based on how light hits it. I understand that people nowadays seem to think that a 12+ ounce racquet is somehow "heavy", but it feels normal to me and well balanced. Not a racquet for beginners - it rewards solid, clean hits and one-handed backhands....and the harder you hit it (and hit through the ball), the better it responds. I wish I still had my old 5.5's to directly compare against; I do have a couple Pro Staffs from around 15 years ago (I forget which version, they're back east at my brothers house) that I've used 2-3 times, and those have a bit of a muted/numb feeling from what I remember. This v14 just feels good. If you like the older Pro Staffs from the early days, you'll like this.
Precision You Can FeelFrom the first hit, I felt the perfect blend of control and stability. The 95 square inch head and 18x20 pattern give me pinpoint precision, while the solid frame adds effortless plow-through. Every shot feels crisp, connected, and incredibly responsive. If you love a classic feel with modern playability, this racquet delivers.
Great racquetI enjoyed a lot Wilson K-Blade 93. This one is very close… Amazing play after 15 minutes stable performance, Love it. I am looking for a new racquet and I liked the Blade 98 18x20 feel but the maneuverability was may be an issue. This Six.One 95 is maneuverable and has the feel of Blade 18x20. The only thing stopping me from buying it is the design. I could handle the matte finish of PS97, but the gloss brown is no go. Like brown Porsche Cayenne, I suspect the same designer made these 2 products and I hope he will not get into other design departments like apple or some other brands I like. Will have to go with Head Speed or Extreme or Yonex Ezone 98 or spray the 6.1 95 with some cool can color.
Best racquet on the market!This racquet has that mouth-watering buttery feel when the ball hits the strings, tremendous control, and comes through the air relatively quickly. It is definitely an advanced players' racquet that has its market. This racquet is for you if you have a classic game style, want control, and a second-to-none feel. You still have the potential to get excellent power with this racquet. I found I could hit just as hard as I could with most other racquets. Del Potro used a Six.One 95, 18x20, and I don't know if I've ever seen a more consistently powerful forehand... The V14 is an excellent update, and it is the best version of the frame yet!

Been waitingI’ve been waiting for years for Wilson to produce the Six.One 95 again for the US market. I’ve been playing with this racquet since its inception and have always been a believer in its ability to handle all court situations. The new model lives up to its history and maybe plays a little bit better for serving and volleys. Had it a couple of weeks now and it’s getting familiar and comfortable to use. The butt on the grip feels slightly larger and took some time to get adjusted, but almost don’t notice it anymore. Overall I would have rated it a five, but color didn’t really appeal to me.

Awesome Racquet!After considerable time away from the game I started demoing racquets again, but found myself struggling to connect with anything. Many of the new products I tried felt pretty foreign, and I became somewhat resigned to the notion that current equipment designs had fundamentally changed in ways that no longer sync with my old muscle-memory. Eventually I figured out that most modern polyester stings do not suit my game either, and that switching to multi-filaments made a HUGE difference. I tested the new Six.One 95 v14, and what a revelation this racquet has been for me! I am so thankful this phenomenal classic is still in the lineup and receiving updates. The specific combination of heftier static weight and mid-flex RA, combined importantly with the unique head-light balance and smaller head size, make this stick feel so intuitive and potent. I finally feel I can swing-out confidently with consistent results. I was formerly a pretty solid 5.0 local tournament-level player back in the day, now just enjoying rediscovering my love for this amazing sport. I currently use three Six.One 95 v14's with a full bed of Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 18, strung as a one-piece at 54-55 pounds and 4 leather power pads in the throat. I opted to use TW's Matching Service to insure the specs and stringing were consistent. Highly recommended for big-hitters looking for refined performance with ultimate feel and precision.

The return of a classic frameI've been using the 6.1 95 for almost 20 years now. Tried this 6.1 95, and instantly loved it. It's slightly different from any of the 6.1's of the past, and definitely doesn't feel same as the Pro Labs v13 version that I was using before. It feels noticeably more flexible than the v13 and slightly lighter in the tip. However, it still plays very similar to the past 6.1 95's, where I'm still plowing through the ball with good accuracy and can still hit a nice slice. It might have lost a little bit of plow through, but the easier swing speed makes it significantly easier against players with modern strokes. Overall, a nice modern evolution to the 6.1 95. My new frame of choice.
