What players say
Reviewers see the RF 01 Pro as the true player's frame of Wilson's Federer-collab line: heavy, stable, and full of plow-through power on flat drives and at net, with a firm, connected feel testers compare to the RF97. The tight 16x19 pattern and stiff response mean it rewards good technique and coverage spin rather than forgiving anyone, so it's aimed squarely at advanced, all-court players rather than club-level ones.
Best for
- Advanced all-court players with complete strokes
- Flat, linear ball-strikers over heavy topspin hitters
- Net-rushers and slice-backhand players
- Traditionalists wanting a classic player's feel
Pros
- Plenty of mass and stability, especially on drives and at net
- Surprisingly maneuverable for a ~337g strung frame
- Solid, connected feel reviewers liken to the RF97
- Effortless power on flat, penetrating shots
Cons
- Firm, stiff feel that several testers found demanding on the arm
- Tight 16x19 pattern limits spin; shots can sail long without enough coverage
- Heavy and unforgiving for casual or club-level players
- Sweet spot drops off noticeably outside the center of the string bed

More free power than the RF97.

If you don't provide enough coverage spin, shots can sail long.
