Wilson RF 01 Future Tennis Racquet (280g)

Inspired by the racquet Roger Federer developed for his final years on tour, the Wilson RF 01 Future Tennis Racquet combines lightweight manoeuvrability, easy power and all-court versatility in a frame designed for the next generation of players.

Weighing just 280g unstrung, the RF 01 Future is the lightest racquet in Wilson's RF collection. Its slightly higher balance point helps provide additional power and stability while maintaining excellent manoeuvrability and fast racquet-head speed.

Developed with Roger Federer's playing philosophy in mind, the RF 01 Future features SABR Frame Design, allowing players to transition confidently between power, spin and directional changes. Braid 45 Technology enhances ball pocketing and feel, while Glide Guard B&G improves aerodynamics for faster, more responsive swings.
