What players say
Tennis Warehouse's four-person playtest panel scored this 25th anniversary C10 Pro 85/100 overall, with the highest marks going to comfort (92) and touch/feel, control, and stability (87-89), and the lowest to power and maneuverability (79 each). All four testers praised the smooth, 'silky' feel and plow-through mass at net and on serve, while flagging a small sweet spot and heavy static weight that could wear players down on returns and long matches. The racquet's two customer reviews echo the same balance of feel, control, and arm comfort when strung with a full natural gut bed.
Best for
- Advanced all-court and serve-and-volley players who want classic control and feel
- Players who like the Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph but want more flex and comfort
- Net players who value touch and directional control on volleys
- Players comfortable swinging a heavier, head-light frame
Pros
- Comfort rated top of the test (92/100); all four testers called the feel 'silky smooth' or 'plush'
- Strong control and touch/feel scores (87-89), with testers praising 'elite-level precision' at net
- Open 16x19 pattern gives easy access to spin on groundstrokes and kick serves
- Mass-based plow-through helps absorb and redirect pace; one tester called serve his most effective shot with it
- TW customer reviewers found it comfortable and controllable, especially strung with a full natural gut bed
Cons
- Power and maneuverability were the lowest-scoring categories (79/100 each)
- Two testers described the sweet spot as small and less forgiving than modern player's frames
- Heavy static weight (12.3 oz strung) made it harder to handle fast returns and tired at least one tester over a long session
- Extremely limited production (1,000 made) means little independent discussion beyond the official playtest and a handful of buyer reviews

Pretty remarkable how well this racquet feels and performs, being that it is a design from 25 years ago.

I loved the C10 Pro at net
— Mark, Tennis Warehouse playtest team, Web
plenty of mass-based power, plus easy access to spin thanks to the spacing of its 16x19 pattern
— Troy, Tennis Warehouse playtest team, Web
The sweetspot size is less forgiving and there's less added power than some of the more modern player's racquets.
— Mark, Tennis Warehouse playtest team, Web
struggled a bit with the heft

This frame balances feel and stiffness well, offering good power without losing delicate touch. Not as stiff as Babolat, not as soft as Wilson.
