Precision + Feel + Stability

The AdTouch 97 is a fresh take on a traditional players' racket. We've blended the precision and feel of a control frame while retaining power and spin needed for the modern game.

The thin beam and compact head enhance shot placement, while a mid flex rating (65 RA) ensures comfort. The spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern adds forgiveness and all of this combined delivers a stable and responsive experience centered around control and feel.

This is the ultimate cheat code

This AdTouch has an absolutely incredible balance between power and control. For any and all players looking to take their game to the next level, and have a consistent racket to be in their arsenal, look no further

Paired with ReString Zero and Sync, and the combination makes this setup the ultimate cheat code!

Don't Sleep on the AdTouch

Without hesitation, I replaced my RF97 Autographs with this model after the first hit. Here are my initial impressions.

- Feels great in the hand. The slick, glossy black is honestly a better texture than the velvety matte black of the Pro Staff line, and will last longer.
- The handle buildup is integrated into the composite layup instead of the molded polyurethane pallets that other mass-produced frames come with. For me, this translated into better connection with the ball.
- For comparison, contact and feel are 80% similar to Pro Staff and 20% similar to Blade. Ultimately plays like a Pro Staff that is a tad more flexible and an entire ounce lighter.
- I ordered a pair of sticks weighing in at about 5 grams difference. If this is a concern, consider the Racquet Matching service.
- The trap door logo is a sticker, which is a subtle reminder that you're not playing with an "established brand" but I'm not looking down there often anyway.

I've made zero changes to my swing mechanics and can play for longer with this lighter frame. This was a win.

I tried the racquet once and purchased a second one. It's that good!
