Testing Roger Federer's NEW RF01 Racket #tennis

I got my hands on Roger Federer’s latest masterpiece, the RF01 racket, and took it for a spin in the heart of Berlin! 🇩🇪

In this video, I test the racket on court, breaking down how it feels and whether it lives up to the Federer hype! But that's not all – I also got the chance to watch Federer himself play live! 🐐🎾

Yes we would like to see the Roger footage! Thanks for sharing this review Ashley!

[fretstain]

oh man yes please more court level footage of Roger

[k.b.]

I’ve watched hours and hours of Federer’s backhand to emulate his motion. I’m still in awe of his fluidity. I’ve never owned one of his racquets, but it would be an amazing experience to.
Thank you for the opportunity!

Wow hasn't your life in the last 4 years turned from suburban tennis coach helping his students do lessons during covid to travelling across Europe to brand events and meet pros and your idols.

I love RogerFederer’s mastery of tennis. His racket’s evolutionary racket designs inspire my own tennis game. I miss seeing the Maestro on court and have the best memories of his elegance.

I have the RF01 Pro, and you quick review is close to my own feelings about the racket. I use to play with the V13 pro staff and I think the sweet spot is much bigger on this racket. With the V13, any off center shots go nowhere. Whereas this racket, you can still get some power from it. Where it really shines is the volleys and slices. But there is plenty of forehand power and spin. The backhands which initially felt unstable has quickly gotten better as I get more use to the racket. Overall, a great racket for me.

I bought the Pro, but I asked the people at the shop to find me the lightest one they had. They actually found one that weighted 315 grams, and it is just perfect.

[dcap]

The more you know! The fact he went into detail with the colorway and emphasizing the finish of the swing. I did not know that. Fed really is a maestro and true artist!

Love your video ❤️ Thinking of getting this racquet! RForever! 😅

[Game-Set-Match]

I personally preferred the 300 gram- added weight to 3 and 9
And extended it to 27 1/2
Love it
I currently string it up with Solinco tour bite or Head lynx tour

[BackoftheLineTennis]

Just demo'd it for a friend's shop to give my feedback as a life long Blade user. So currently hit the v7 blade, and always wished I could get a little more points head light (playing longer tourney weekends I get to start feeling the head weight on those second and third days). Tried the Pro Staff, but just never cliqued with it. So the RF 01 (not Pro) was going to be an interesting test. Overall, love the balance and feel of the racquet. Not nearly as forgiving for off-center hits, but when you hit the sweet spot it is responsive and more crisp than the Blade feels to me. But as much as I complain about the additional head weight feel, that really does help as a catalyst for my serve. So yeah, RF is a really compelling stick, but still not enough to wedge a Blade out of my had. lol.

happy to bought my RF97 V13 before it gone. whence you feel used to its weight(few weeks), then it's fanatic racket.

[bournejason]

I find RF 01 future is the best for me

[SantiagojoseChacon]

NOBODY, NOBODY will ever make tennis looks so effortless and easy…. Only him

[devm]

Thanks Ashley for the great review - Please could you advise what String Setup & Tension, that is recommended by Wilson? Likely to be Wilson Champions Choice around 55lbs...

[cipciop]

The tennis swing is something so beautiful.. How many in here have the same idea and concept of tennis?? I am curious.

[craigthompson]

Hi Ashley, thanks for the review, I had wondered how the new range would play without the classics pws in place . I play with an RF autograph 97 at this time and before that the 90, 85 original and so on . I am in my 50’s, which racket would you suggest trying please ?

[harrywitherell]

Firstly - absolutely love the video and the channel as well! I was thinking about buying a new pro staff and this video has made me question if the RF 01 is a better option? I’m a big guy who has a classic playing style as you described in the video, what do you think?

[vdlorenzo]

Please could you help do you have any idea what strings where used on these new RF rackets you tested? I know strings can make a big difference and unfortunately I can't afford the champions choice option I know Federer uses but is there really good alternatives that still works great very curious what Wilson strung these test rackets with

[ayushmishra]

I was just a little early buying my racket, as I bought the new head speed. Only if I waited I could have got my hands on this. 😭😭
