What players say

Liked 4 sources

Reviewers see the RF 01 as a lighter, more maneuverable sibling to the RF 01 Pro, built for players who want precise, all-court control in the Federer mold rather than raw pace. It excels at net, on slices, and on directed groundstrokes, but testers consistently flag modest spin and baseline plow-through compared to other modern 98 sq in frames.

Best for

All-court attacking players
Federer-style flat/slice hitters
Players prioritizing precision over power
Net rushers and doubles players

Pros

Very maneuverable, especially at net and on slice/touch shots
Precise directional control from the tight 16x19 pattern
Comfortable, arm-friendly feel with good vibration dampening
Versatile enough to shape the ball and work angles from anywhere on court

Cons

Spin generation is modest for a 16x19 frame, especially at faster swing speeds
Lacks plow-through power on baseline drives and serves compared to category leaders
Tight string spacing gives a smaller sweet spot; off-center shots feel harsh
Demanding on footwork and timing, so less forgiving for less experienced players

Voices

Very versatile racquet that allowed me to shape the ball and work angles...very easy to move opponents around the court.

— Chris, 4.5 all-court playtester, Web

Felt like a blend between Pro Staff 97 and Ultra 100...rewarding on full swings.

— James, baseline/control-oriented playtester, Web

The sensation is superior and easier on the arm. It's comfortable without feeling mushy or dull.

— Jon Levey, Tennis.com, Web

Not as natural at cranking up heavy forehands or jumpy kick serves.
