One of the most iconic racquets of all time, the Wilson Six-One 95 series (which started with the famous Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 Classic, has been relaunched by Wilson in Europe in a new white/red paint job. I haven't been able to find the racquet on a lot of the online retailers however, only a Swedish one called “Racketspecialisten” and Pro Direct Tennis so far. I might buy a few myself from there.
Here is the link to buy the Wilson Six One 95 reissue model from Pro Direct Tennis.
Or buy the Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 Classic anniversary model
