The Wilson Roger Federer RF Autograph racquet dropped off the “available” list some time ago. Those who loved the racquet and the player were disappointed even though many could not use the racquet to the maximum extent!
You can re-visit the RF racquet with the new Wilson RF Series Brand that will suit many more players.
We will begin with the RF 01 300. This racquet is a total RF design including the butt cap logo and the foam filling!
The finish is essentially black fading into gun metal grey around the hoop. The graphics are minimal as was the previous RF Autograph series.
But what about the performance specifications?
- The racquet weighs 319 grams
- The string bed is incredibly dense in the center but still 16 x 19.
- Good for string life…if that matters to you.
- The racquet is a thin beam ranging from 21.5 to 23.1mm.
