VERY RARE BELGIUM PRODUCED WILSON Midsize 85 Wilson Pro Staff 4 3/8 (feels more like 4 1/4) grip in 9+/10 outstanding+ condition especially for an approx. Bumperless racket with with HPB buttcap code (see chart at end of description). Note the unique Babolat leather grip in excellent condition. Pro Staffs were first produced in the United States (Chicago) in the early 80s.

When Wilson decided to shut down manufacture of Pro Staffs at the Chicago facility and move production to Saint Vincent, there was a brief period when Donnay was contracted by Wilson to manufacture Pro Staffs for European distribution. This is one of those rackets. Minor scratches and scrapes outer edge of frame from 10-2 o'clock resulting from normal play. Grommets are in excellent condition.

Headsize - 85 sq in. Balance - 8 pts HL. Please check out my other auctions. For answers to questions:'quaxrax'at"gmale".

I have other PS85 versions and grip sizes in stock. Brief history of, and guide to, Wilson Pro Staff Midsize 85 models/versions : These rackets are undoubtedly THE most popular non-wood, pre-millenium players frames. The Pro Staff 85 has been used by many of thhe all-time great tennis pros including Chris Evert, Jimmy Connors, Aaron Krickstein, Jimmy Arias, Mary Pierce, Steffi Graf, Stefan Edberg, Jim Courier and Pete Sampras... Sampras used this racket throughout his professional career refusing all efforts by Wilson to get him to use newer models or at least make his racket look like a newer model through use of new paintjob.

Federer started out with midsize Pro Staff 6.0 85 (black buttcap China version), which in late 2001 were disguised, under a paintjob, as a the newer model Hyper Pro Staff 6.0; the first of his 90 sq in headsize rackets that. Pro Staffs were originally manufactured at Wilson's River Grove plant near Chicago. In an effort to cut down on production costs and, reportedly, improve quality control, Wilson moved production to a new facility on St. Vincent Island in the West Indies.

In the interim, some Pro Taffs were pproduced for the European market in Belgium by Donnay? Rackets made at the new St.

Vincent facility have been assigned mystical qualities by many non-pro players mainly because rackets produced there were the only rackets that Pete Sampras would use throughout his entire professional career. In the early 90s, Wilson again moved production; this time to Taiwan, and then to China, undoubtedly to further cut costs. The later Asian versions are also of high quality. However, purists are not convinced that they measure up to the standard set by the "legendary" Saint Vincent rackets. Below is a table showing, to the best of my knowledge, the different versions of the Pro Staff Midsize rackets and their distinguishing characteristics.
