    Are any pros using the RF97/PS97 mold?

    apart from Dimitrov with his custom 18x17? It's been around for long enough now that there could be some young players coming up with it. Every Wilson pro and his dog had a ps97 paint job for a while on their six.ones- forget about them: who *really* uses it? If, like the clash, none of the...

    What is racquet side weight? Is it important?

    My club got a Yonex Precision Scan device recently. It measures balance, weight, swing weight, the usual. But it has additional measurements I've never seen before. It shows a racquet's side weights. I decided to test my new RF97 which is pretty much on spec when it comes to weight, SW, and...

    Federer's Laver Cup racquet

    Hi! Did anyone notice that Fed's racquet for the Laver Cup has a red butt cap like the regular Pro Staff v13, and a brown leather grip? Is that a new model? The RF97 has a flat black butt and a black leather grip. Did I miss anything?

    questions about RF97

    Hi guys, I usually play with my K90 and PSBLX90. I tried the RF v10 5 years ago (red black first version) but I personally don't like it at all. I found it is too soft and the swing weight feels so much heavier compared to my K90 & PSBLX90. And I don't have a feeling that the RF97 is a good...

    How many times did Fed shank a groundstroke in Wimbledon Final?

    I have another thread here "Federer needs a new racquet!!" arguing that considering what a big difference going to 97 inch head made for him and his attacking style, he should go even further to a 100inch head. ESPECIALLY, considering how many times he framed his groundstrokes in the Wimbledon...

    Federer needs a new racquet!!!

    Everybody here knows how changing to a 97sqin racquet has made such a huge difference for Federer, especially against Nadal. Who knows how many majors he would have won if he made the switch earlier!?! He must be kicking himself thinking about the times he cried (publicly or privately) after...

    Upgrade Time?

    My backup racket is a 1st gen Pro Staff 97L. It is so utterly old and bad that I don’t even bring it when I play tennis. Do you think it’s time I buy a newer one? Such as the RF97L or the RF97L Bold?

    HELP! Wilson RF97 to Blade 16x19 Questions

    Hey guys, So I've been playing tennis for about 3 years. I'm a 3.5-4 level depending on the day—according to some local pros who have seen me play. I'd say I lean more towards 3.5 just because I don't play as much as I did. I started with a Project OneSeven Pure Strike and enjoyed it. But I...

    RF97 alternatives - 2018 edition

    I combed through the forums and found some old articles. But given the new rackets introduced recently, I figured I’d poll the community for advice. I’m a 4+ player and have been using the RF97 for the last couple of years and have loved it. I’m 45+ years old and leaned to play Tennis in the...
