Description

Wilson partners with the Swiss legend for the RF 01 Pro Roger Federer Tennis Racquet This model is a part of the RF Collection, representing the successful longstanding partnership between Wilson and Federer. The RF 01 Pro is not an RF97 clone, and it was designed with input from Roger to make a racquet that was easier to use and more explosive than the models he used in the past. A special SABR beam design brings performance versatility, allowing for pace, spin, and direction changes - all of which are hallmarks of Federer's game style. Wilson Integrated a smooth bumper and grommet design called Glide Guard to enhance maneuverability and reduce air resistance to increase racquet head speed. Braid 45 returns in the RF 01 Pro, though the braid is exclusively carbon for best-in-class stability and ball pocketing. For vibration dampening, the racquet is filled with PU foam which increases comfort as well.

The RF 01 Pro has a 98 square-inch head and a dual taper beam which creates a more forgiving response. The Aerodynamic beam makes the racquet faster through the air. The design makes it easier to generate racquet head speed for penetrating ground strokes, but it also makes it easier to play with a variety of spins and impressive stability at the net. The RF 01 Pro has a 16x19 string pattern and comes with a classic leather grip for a firm feel and more feedback. Elite players, and fans of the great Roger Federer, will love this model. It is still a heavy frame by today's standards at 11.3 ounces unstrung, but the overall racquet design makes it more forgiving and fun to play than the Federer frames of old.

Features:

-Inverted throat taper increases stability.
-98 head size increases sweet spot.
-Progressive dual taper beam 23.2mm€“24mm-22mm enhances power.
-Patented FORTYFIVE° carbon sheets enhance torsional stability for more forgiving off-center shots.
-PU filled for vibration dampening

Expert Review

The heaviest, most demanding RF, closest to Federer's own spec, and the one for elite players and devotees. A leather-gripped 98 with real mass that does the work once you time it, 20 grams lighter and far easier to swing than the RF97, but still a proper player's frame.

Great for: Advanced and elite players who want a stable control frame with feel and feedback. The 11.3 ounce weight and leather grip give it mass, stability at the net and a connected response, the aerodynamic SABR beam keeps it swinging faster than the RF97, and it rewards clean timing with fluid, easy depth and a bit more power than Federer's old frames.

Not ideal for: Casual players and anyone who cannot handle the weight over a match, or who needs easy, free power. The RF 01 and RF 01 Future are lighter and more forgiving.

Unbelievable Racket

"What a racket! This RF-01 Pro delivers everything it promises. It hits like a dream, volleys are unstoppable, and delivers serves like Federer himself! I went from an oversized to this 98, and I didn’t notice any lack of real estate. Best racket I’ve ever bought!"
