Unbelievable News: A Minute Ago Roger Federer’ Beloved Daughter “Myla” Just Confirmed Dead in a car cr…
The RF franchise is a completely new offering from Wilson.
Made in tandem with Roger Federer, the Pro has the specs that most closely resemble the personal preferences of the Swiss great.
As such, it is the heaviest and most demanding of the three frames that make up the collection.
Under the hood, the racquet’s SABR Frame Design incorporates a dual taper beam for greater aerodynamics and easy acceleration.
The more integrated bumper and grommet design (Glide Guard) fits nearly seamlessly on the frame to also reduce air resistance, as well as give the racquet a sleeker appearance.
Braid 45 construction enhances the racquet’s ball-pocketing, stability and feel.
And Feel Fill is a polyurethane foam injected throughout the frame to reduce vibrations and improve the sensation at contact.
Few recent racquet releases have been as eagerly anticipated as the RF 01 Pro.
The marketing pitch is certainly alluring.
It’s the racquet Federer custom made for his final days on tour, made available to the general public.
Having the legend himself spearheading the promotion campaign only added to the fervor. But rest-assured the racquet isn’t just hype.
Federer wanted to evolve from his previous RF 97 Autograph into something more modern and user-friendly.
And to that end, the racquet hits its target, essentially for two reasons.
The most basic is it’s 20g lighter than the RF 97, making it easier to whip through the hitting zone, as well as manage over the course of a match.
A 340g frame is a dinosaur in today’s game; even at the pro level, players typically balk at such heft.
The second is the slightly bigger head size, and slightly thicker, variable beam both give the user a bit more margin for error.
The sweet spot isn’t quite as exacting, and there’s more help when contact is just outside of it.
Yet, the response remains highly predictable, and you can expect to get out of the shot exactly what you put into it.
