Light, maneuverable, fast to play with, forgiving, versatile, these are all words that describe the awesome new Wilson RF 01 FUTURE Tennis Racquet which has just landed as it's part of one of Wilson's biggest, most exciting product launches of all time.
If you hadn't figured it out already, the 'RF' in the name stands for Roger Federer, and, this racquet was inspired, designed, and tested with the man himself, meaning that you can be absolutely sure it's going to be something special. Specs-wise, the RF 01 FUTURE has a head light balance point and a light-weighting of just 280g unstrung (or 296g strung), making it the lightest racquet of the three in the new RF range. It's absolutely ideal for taking early balls with a shorter, faster, more attacking swing.
The RF 01 features a new SABR Frame Design that provides great versatility, allowing for pace, spin, and direction changes (all of which are a signature of Federer's style of play). This racquet is filled with Feel Fill PU foam to reduce those unwanted vibrations too!
This racquet's smooth Glide Guard bumper and grommet design delivers less air resistance along with a faster racquet head speed, plus, the 16x19 string pattern of the RF 01 PRO helps you use that fast head speed and convert it into power and spin. Another key technology is Braid 45 which incorporates braided fibers at 45-degree angles, allowing the braid to breathe more upon impact and resulting in enhanced pocketing feel and stability.
We can't describe this racquet without touching on the cosmetics, just look at that beautiful design! The RF 01 PRO comes with subtle Roger Federer branding across the frame, plus, it also comes equipped with the new RF logo true leather grip!
Wilson RF 01 FUTURE Tennis Racquet
For Roger Federer's last year on tour, he needed a tennis racket that would help him compete with the new generation of heavy baseliners while maintaining his all-court style. The Wilson RF 01 Future is inspired by that racket. It's our lightest RF racket of the collection with a slightly higher balance, making it highly maneuverable with additional power for next-generation players. The SABR Frame Design gives it versatility, allowing for the pace, spin and direction changes signature to Roger's game. You'll notice a fast head speed thanks to Glide Guard B&G and a great ball-pocketing feel from Braid 45 Technology.
