What players say
Reviewers describe the RF 01 Future as the lightest, whippiest frame in Wilson's Federer collection, plays like the heavier RF 01 but easier to swing. Testers were surprised by how stable and comfortable it felt for its weight, with good spin from the 16x19 pattern, though it lacks the mass and plow of the bigger frames in the line and can get overpowered against harder hitters.
Best for
- Juniors moving up to an adult frame
- Beginners and early intermediates
- Players wanting a light, fast-swinging control stick
- Customization/platform frame for adding weight
Pros
- Very maneuverable, described as easy to swing and quick through the hitting zone
- Surprisingly stable and solid feeling at net for such a light frame
- Good spin potential from the 16x19 open pattern
- Comfortable/arm-friendly, low stiffness rating minimizes vibration
- Easy to find depth and targets without feeling overly powerful
Cons
- Lacks mass and pop compared to the heavier RF 01 and RF 01 Pro
- Can get pushed around or struggles absorbing pace against stronger opponents
- 98 sq in head is more demanding than larger, more forgiving frames

The carbon fiber layup and the yoke reinforcements has made this racquet surprisingly stable, yet whippy.
