Wilson RF 01 Pro Review – Roger Federer's New Racquet

In this awesome video, Troy takes us through a full review of the Wilson RF 01 Pro tennis racquet. For Roger Federer's last year on tour, he needed a tennis racquet that would help him compete with the new generation of heavy baseliners while maintaining his all-court style. Designed with Roger himself, it embodies the qualities of a fine-point paintbrush: versatile, maneuverable and forgiving to enhance any player's artistry on-court. 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. It's finished with an RF-branded leather grip for a premium feel.

Great review, Troy should do more of these. Super insightful and articulate on his explanations I almost feel like I demoed it.

Great review. Very detailed and thorough from a player’s pov.

I have been hitting with this new RF for about a week..agree with your opinions and analysis.. this is an excellent racquet especially for those of us who love that pro staff “feel” 👌🏻

[rafini]

Just watched the normal RF01 review and thought “wish these guys did the pro as well”… and here i am!

[muskistutter]

I’m very impressed with Troy. He’s very articulate with his reviews - up there with Chris Edwards/TW and Jonas/Tennisnerd.

Really well done...informative and concise review. Keep up the amazing work!

Everything you said is true!

I played the Pro Staff RF97 series for a long time. Firstly because I'm a fan of Roger, but also because I love the feeling, the brutal stability that the Pro Staffs display when they go through the ball like butter. Of course, that also meant immensely perfect timing. And that in turn meant absolute footwork and fitness. Hardly any player, let alone a tournament player, can tame the RF 97. Not even Federer, as we have learnt. Too much spin, too fast balls these days, but then the Pro Staff X v14 came onto the market. Larger head, no longer 340 g unstrung, but 315 g. This was already a decent compromise after I couldn't make friends with Aero, VCore, Ezone and so on.

Now, with this one, I have found my racket.

But it has to be said that this racket in the Pro version with 320 g requires a fully developed and advanced technique. The timing also has to be right. All in all, this racket demands a lot from a player. But then it really rewards the player like no other. It is a very good compromise to the Pro Staff RF97, although these two rackets play quite differently. But you notice and feel the DNA behind it. You realize that nothing is damped to death. The RF01 Pro does not overpower. I can hardly wait for my two new favourites to arrive after intensive testing.

Thank you for this wonderful review.
Do they still use Kevlar in this requet?

[vanodne]

Seems similar to the Boom Pro in just about every spec (balance, swingweight, stiffness, and lowish twist weight). How do they compare?

[youtubepremium]

I want to ask about the comparison of tennis rackets
Yonex Regna 98 V3
vs
Wilson RF01 98

Are the two rackets similar in character?

[macarioa.baroncarrasco]

How does this racquet compare to a Pro Staff 6.1, which was a lighter racquet than the original Pro Staff Classic?

[danieljacobsenAIR]

What string setup would you reccomend, and tension?

[TheRealSJT]

@RacquetGuys - I use the KBlade 98 18X20 as my main racket along with the Blade CV 18X20 as the back up. In terms of weight and the String Pattern (16X19) would I be able to adjust to the RF 01 Pro? Thanks!

[jakelm]

If they come out with a 90 sq in version for club players I’ll buy ten

[sultanabran]

is 320g considered heavy? i use a pro staff 97 and it's 320g and i didn't think it was considered heavy.

[watcher]

Roger Federer doesn’t have a new racket. He just markets a new racket for you.

Which one of the models is your favorite ?
