Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Wilson RF 01 Future (WR166811U) is inspired by the tennis racket Roger Federer used in his last year on tour, when he needed to compete with a new generation of heavy baseliners while keeping his all-court style. It is the lightest RF racket in the collection at 280g unstrung, with a slightly higher balance that makes it highly manoeuvrable with extra power for next-generation players.
Key Features
- SABR Frame Design – created in collaboration with Roger Federer for versatility, allowing for the pace, spin and direction changes signature to his game.
- Braid 45 Technology – enhances ball-pocketing feel and control.
- Feel Fill – adds comfort and vibration dampening.
- Glide Guard B&G – for fast head speed and manoeuvrability.
- Lightest RF racket – easier to handle, for quicker reactions.
Performance Overview
The RF 01 Future balances power and control for adaptable play. You notice fast head speed thanks to Glide Guard and a ball-pocketing feel from Braid 45, while the SABR Frame Design and Braid 45 give precise shots with good spin potential and Feel Fill keeps it comfortable.
Who Is It For?
Players – competing or training – who want a versatile, manoeuvrable racket with the precision and spin potential inspired by Roger Federer’s game.
