My $.02, if you are thinking about racquets like the Ezone 98 or PA98, do yourself a favor and add the RF 01 to your demo and give it a try. If you get one on-spec, it will play a lot like the PA98. If you get one under spec, you need to add weight like you would on the Ezone. The Pro plays a lot like a 18x20 Blade w/ a bit more power. Better control than the 300g RF 01, and of course it has the plow due to the extra weight and different layup.
@@joln7458 A lot. really. Stiffness on Blade is RA 60 and on RF the RA is 67. The oval thicker beam on RF (23-23-22) and box beam 20.5 on Blade. very different feel and manoeuvrability This is WIlson's/RF's version of control & power racket like Technifibre TF 40, Pure Strike 98, Dunlop FX tour. Phillips Textreme Tour 100
1:46 It's not synthetic leather - it just a standard spongey polyurethane grip that's dyed light brown colour to look like leather (which is actually white or yellow naturally rather than brown/tan)
How does the racquet do on Spin? I heard more controlled power but does it produce spin? I saw a lot of spin in the play tests and without the obnoxious launch angle
Great video! Given the RF 01 doesn't play like the previous Pro Staff iterations, what are your thoughts on how this racket compares to the Babolat Pure Drive?
Geau bag look great but after more than 3 years, they can’t ship their products to Europe at a decent price. It’s impossible for someone in Portugal or Spain to buy the big bag under 400€ (around 500 dollars ). What is the point of having a great product if people can’t put their hands on it. For the customer looking from the outside looks like a small company without vision, strategy or future.
@@Ez4FrEEzE Wtf don't you understand? The model is called RF 01 and those who plays and knows tennis knows it's the "middle weight" version. It's not called RF 01 middle weight. LMAO 🤣🤣
I'm loving this racquet. Needs lead tape in the hoop but once weighted up it is sublime!!!
Where did you put the lead ?

More Spin and stability with PA98.
What would you say are the biggest difference of this frame vs the Blade 98 v9 16x19?

PA98 is much easier to play with however RF01 has more dimensions

Hello! How does RF01 Pro compares to Pro Staff X and Pro Staff 100 V14? Do you recomend to add 1g at 3 and 9 to makeup for the lack of pws?
Get the rf you will play 100% like federer.
Got the Pro coming tomorrow I hope it’s great. Not sure how I wanna string it though . Prob not adding any weight
You could go all in with champions choice
If you hit the ball flatter, adding a few grams at 3/9 really transforms the racquet in a good way.
@@tenniswithandyyeah it adds the torsional stability that it lacks

What string and tension?
Does RF01 Pro comes with real leather or it comes with synthetic leather too?
Real
@@nohlansauvage5274 thanks!
Does anyone know if the buttcap is rounded? Or is it "sharp" like the RF97 on any models?
It's more rounded
@@returntotennis706 in all 3 models?
@Stennismann as far as I know. The Pro and the 300g are rounded. I have the 01, it's rounded. I know someone who has the Pro, his is rounded as well
Great video! please let me know how it's different compared to Regna100! Thank you!
Try setting up your camera higher when filming your hits
This or ezone?
It needed the PWS
I feel like this racket needs a real leather grip that will make the racket light weight
why
@@rusty935 make it more head light and be able to swing faster specially if you use one band backhand

Not for me. The head is too small and the racquet is too stiff.
Racket has power....I mean you did string it with alupower lol. 😅
Aaand
The third-generation Pure Strike 98 16x19 from 2019. Still beats tat one.....Sorry Roger.
The specs and description sound like a Boom Pro to me
It's called the RF 01. The others are RF 01 Pro and RF 01 Future. RF middleweight? Lol...
so what. it is the middle weighted version. they are not wrong.
What if RF 01 plus real leather equals the pro. Or or RF 01 pro minus the real leather equals the middle weight.
Seems some things go over your head? 😂

@@moodymoral It's called the RF 01. Call it by it's proper name. RF 01 middleweight doesn't exist. LMFAO!!!!!!!!
Head heavy? OMG it's a Hammer, not a Pro Staff, then.
It's not that head heavy, it's about 4/5 points head light
there are many reasons it's unlike a Pro Staff.
It should have a wilson butcap it’s disgustingly culty with RF everywvere f that i am playing with a wilson afterall
Bad Racket unfortunately plays Like the Extreme
