The Wilson ProStaff Original 6.0 is a tennis racquet made by Wilson that garnered much attention when tennis great Pete Sampras used it throughout much of his career. Its current successor is known as the Wilson kSix-One, which is currently used by ATP Pro Roger Federer. Players must, however, note that Federer's racquet is custom made for him by Wilson and thus will play considerably differently to an off-the-shelf (stock) kSix-One. Indeed, the make of Roger's racquet beneath its paintjob has for some time been a subject of avid and heated speculation by a large number of racquet enthusiasts on a number of tennis forums, with the general consensus being that Roger Federer is using a specially designed Prostaff 6.0 Original, altered to a 90 sq.in. head but with the same string pattern and frame composition as the 6.0. While from a distance the racquet appears to be a Tour 90, upon closer examination, the throat and custom made extended handle are clearly of the Prostaff 6.0 mould. Nonetheless, the paintjob, tapered throat flanges (not present in the Prostaff 6.0 Original 85) and extended handle ensure that the true identity of Roger Federer's racquet remains a mystery to all, perhaps including Federer himself.
