Choose the Clash 100 Pro v3 if…

Arm-sensitive players, comfort-first

Very flexible — max comfort (RA 57)

Choose the Pro Staff 97 v14 if…

Control-first players, flat hitters, serve-and-volley

Medium — balanced (RA 66)

🎵 String strategy for each frame

These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.

Clash 100 Pro v3

Very flexible frame (RA 57) — arm-friendly. Pair with a crisp co-poly like Luxilon ALU Power Rough at 54–58 lbs to add control and prevent the string bed feeling too elastic.

Pro Staff 97 v14

Balanced stiffness (RA 66). A mid-stiffness co-poly like Babolat RPM Team or Wilson Revolve at 52–56 lbs gives a comfortable all-court setup without sacrificing spin or control.

⚖️ Specs Equalizer

Can I make these specs match?

To match the swingweight of the Pro Staff 97 v14 (SW 332), add 4g of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position on the Clash 100 Pro v3. This raises its swingweight from 327 to approximately 332 kg·cm².
