Verdict
Wilson’s classic club multifilament—plush pocketing and easy depth in the soft-string lane, with the usual multi tax of fray and tension fade at a premium set price.
The current Pro Staff midplus—same v14 playability in classic black paint—surgical aim and plow for players who supply the pace, not free depth.
The lighter version of the Ultra 100, at 280 g unstrung and swingweight 310, with easy power and spin for improving players, but it runs out of stability against heavy balls and costs full flagship money.
