If you're looking for a racquet that provides maneuverability, forgiveness, and versatility, the Wilson RF 01 Tennis Racquet has landed and it's part of one of the 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 has a head light balance point and a medium weighting of 300g unstrung (or 315g strung), making it lighter than it's brother racquet, the RF 01 PRO, but heavier than its other brother (the RF 01 FUTURE)!
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 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 is inspired by that racket. It's lighter than our RF 01 Pro, making it a more maneuverable version. It features the same SABR Frame Design that 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.
