@@harryherman5371 yeah, 320g is more like a “tour” weight but the majority of normies like us won’t be getting it so it would be good to also know how the 300g model feels like.
Interesting release from Wilson and Roger. Keen to try this one out when I get the chance. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the red RF97 was better than any of its matte-black successors. Just a rawer feel and addictingly more stable than my V12 or V13.
I agree. I'm upset at myself for leaving it strung up in hybrid for a couple years without touching it. The frame flexed a bit and the head is more round than oval now.
Very good and explanatory video. I wanted to ask if in the future you can compare the Pro Staff 90, the RF97 and this new RF 01 Pro. It would be great to see what the strengths and weaknesses of each are.
I‘am very curious if that RF 01 Pro is really usable for normal or intermediate players. Static weight is not so important when the SW stays below 330. I guess the normal version looses the special Fed character and will be just a standard good stick. Any string/tension suggestions so far?
One thing I noticed is that Harry’s backhand looks great after that session working with Coach Rob! Then again, maybe it’s the switch to the RF 01 that’s making the difference😅
Yeah! Same question here! I’m using Regna98 G2 as main racquet, not sure how RF Pro G2 grip feels like cuz Regna using special ultra thin leather grip 🤔
Hello I demoed the RF 01 Pro yesterday. It weighed 339 grams and the swingweight of the racket was 317… there is a lot of difference between 317 and 329 from yours. That should have a big impact on how it plays .. what do you think ?
You should measure the balance too. If that's what you got and the swing weight measurement were accurate, it should have a ridiculous head light balance like 10 or 11 pts. I received a Pro that was 339g w/ a 328 swing weight.
How is their 339g strung and extra over grip And tenniswarehouse strung specs without overgrip says 337g ? Something is missing here or the racket is way under specs
harry do you think its a marketing gimmick racket? Why is the price so expensive, how much does it differ from blade or the pro staff or any other multitudes of wilson lineups
It is a gimmick and federer is in it for the $$$$. These aren’t even close to his racket, they duplicate the ezone 98 put his name on it ripping off people
@@don9733 yeah exactly my thoughts. Tennis marketing has gone off the rails. Every new racket will make you hit like pros, while charging twice the amount what they should cost.
I hate this racquet. I hit with it one hour with over grip it’s in Prestine condition with restring zero @ 53 lbs beautiful blue string in there $250 go buy it. The balance is off to me I’m used to head light it bothers my arm and it’s al poly so…feels like I need weight in handle but it’s already heavy! I don’t know what Federer sees in this. Just not for me? Thought about blending the string but…it’s barely used and it has good string in it
Perhaps the n code? The stock k six one 90 zero as closest to Roger’s specs, string spacing, etc. I still play with it and can’t put it down! Precision, plow through, slices and volleys are insane - love it! K Factor!
@@don9733whats the real story then? I domt love this racket but i what I actually ahtr is people who vall bs and have no actual info back it up. please tell me whats the real story..... im listening
My psc 6.1 95 4 1/8 grip with no grip, just one over grip, and no lead, no dampener comes to 374 grams static weight. I believe someone switched my racket with a manufacturer's out of spec unit. But then it is what it is.
So it’s a racket for us the majority of recreational players, who admire Roger, with a price tag of collectibles but unlimited run of production 🤓 How does it compare with Regna 98, in terms of playability and quality control?
He was developing this racket for his come back Of course this may not have been the final product but he was part of the design process in a big way to align with his hitting style

Please review the regular RF01 for all us regular folk!
Exactly 👍
The pro version isn’t a pro racket it’s only 320g
The other two are for beginners and intermediates

You shouldn’t refer to yourself as a normie. You should buy advanced equipment and adapt to it.
Please move indoors, so that we can hear
or just out of the wind haha
Coach Rob loving this racket --- just didn't see that coming... 😂😂😂

@@joshuab1707!? What tension do you have?
@@andreyofdoom I think when I originally strung it, it was 58 lb in the mains and 56 in the crosses.

RF for life 💪🏽💯
I'd really like a video series of coach Rob modernising his forehand

pretty good feedback. pls compare it with the regular one
Its 25 grams lighter. My rf with overgrip strung is 365g
One thing I noticed is that Harry’s backhand looks great after that session working with Coach Rob! Then again, maybe it’s the switch to the RF 01 that’s making the difference😅
Seen that pattern with dense center main and open(just enough) crosses, from 80's Wilson ultra 2 largehead.
Are Wilson ever going to relaunch 90 inch racquets?
how about RF Pro vs Regna 98?
Yes!!
Yeah! Same question here! I’m using Regna98 G2 as main racquet, not sure how RF Pro G2 grip feels like cuz Regna using special ultra thin leather grip 🤔
Man , jerod was really swinging hard. Looks like the racquet and him were made for each other
I was about to say that 320g is too light, but regarding Wilson QC there should be enough room to balance a set of racquets to individual specs.
why not make the paint glossy??
Thanks for this!

Waiting for the same review, but with the RF 01! Greetings from ARG.
How is their 339g strung and extra over grip
And tenniswarehouse strung specs without overgrip says 337g ? Something is missing here or the racket is way under specs
So, if you want to sell it to me, why would I chose this one instead of the Blade 98s (16x19 or 18x20)?
Please have Jared and Bryce compare the RF 01 Pro to the Blade Pro 98 v9 18x20. Thanks!
haha omg hi Bryce! Come back to shanghai and say hi sometime!
hi. are the grommets for the ezone 98 2022 and the ezone 98 2020 the same
thx
How would you compare this with the latest Regna 98?
Maybe I should have demod the heavy and middle weight frames. I got the heavy one but I’m 51 now
It’s weird. My 298 Iga with leather grip and same string setup is 340g, need to try this new RF
I’ll give Wilson marketing one thing- they got this into the hands of every tennis influencer.
Love your videos and love rf
I have a great slice and I cannot slice with this. I was 5.0 player now 4.5 now (I’m older )
17:53 And there it is, *shocked* again.
Would this be comparable to a Head Radical Pro? Specs seem almost identical
RF Pro is a bit heavier, stiffer and thicker beam…I reckon it’d feel completely different really
The pro should have been 95 inch head sizs. what a missed opportunity
harry do you think its a marketing gimmick racket? Why is the price so expensive, how much does it differ from blade or the pro staff or any other multitudes of wilson lineups

He said “couple of RFs logo.” It just has about 8 RFs that’s all 😂.
Someone is going to switch his Solinco shirt for a Wilson one🤣
All poly or blend? Tensions?
Ahh I heard it, all poly @ 53 lbs
When we getting a coach off? My moneys on Gu decimating everyone
Balance messed me up tons of pain though
Apparently more power, less control than the pro staff.
Audio sucks guys
If wilson wants our nostalgia money, they'd better get to it before my generation gets to old to play.
Officially 20g lighter. PS RF 340. RF01 pro 320 unstrung

Which red Prostaff are they talking about?
Perhaps the n code? The stock k six one 90 zero as closest to Roger’s specs, string spacing, etc. I still play with it and can’t put it down! Precision, plow through, slices and volleys are insane - love it! K Factor!
Please invest in wind proof microphones!
This man will always find a way to make more money lol
Way overpriced!
A money making scheme 😮
Milk federer while they can. The story they concocted up is if federer didn’t retired he might used this to compete lol, and people ate up that story
@@don9733whats the real story then? I domt love this racket but i what I actually ahtr is people who vall bs and have no actual info back it up. please tell me whats the real story..... im listening
A Fed racquet in name only. It'll be interesting to see who falls for this tacky marketing exercise by Wilson.
I'll wait for the version 4.

Where is the reaction video of Novak win in the Olimpics ?
Can’t hear it all clearly!!
Please move inside.
They are milking Federer while they can, these aren’t his rackets lol
Because 99% of them people can’t use his spec anyway
He was developing this racket for his come back
Of course this may not have been the final product but he was part of the design process in a big way to align with his hitting style
Yes but he did collaborate with Wilson into making these new version.
@@markbury2094 that’s the story they want u to believe
Fed is taking a cut anyway😂
Eh tired of the same color.
this racket more for kids than federer
340 grms strung for kids…….ok
