I use the RF97 and even add lead tape. I'm a lowish 4.5 player, so good but by no means elite.
Yet, I hear everyone say the RF is incredibly heavy and can really only be used by top-of-the-line players. That makes me think I have the wrong racquet, but when I try lighter frames they feel like they get pushed around by the ball, and my shots aren't nearly as heavy.
I also think about the fact that 10 years ago, all rec players were using heavy frames. So it shouldn't be too absurd to have a heavier frame.
What am I missing about these lighter racquets?
