In 2025, Is Anyone Still Using The RF97 With So Many Great Racquets Available And So Much Easier to Play With?

Has a trip planned for Hawaii in this November. Any chances I can find a Wilson pro staff RF97 v11,v12,v13 there? If any, where can I find them? Thanks for helping.

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?

Hi! So I have the RF97(the red and black one) that came out in 2014. I used to use the 11.0 RF with an overgrip, balanced at about 362g. with lead tape under the grip too. After trying something else, I'm looking for a similar playstyle with a lighter weight. I tried the Wilson Ultra 2.0 Tour...

Hi folks, Has anyone played with these two, and if so, can you provide a comparison? it’ll be much appreciated since these are potentially both on my radar thanks!

I have 3 rf97a v11s .. bought them over the years as new ones. I opened up the butt cap and noticed all 3 have different handle molds inside.. is this expected? One has two squares, one has a larger and smaller square and another one has a 5sided box ... please the photos.. I don’t see major...

Hey guys. I was gifted a 2015 RF97. I recently weighed it and was surprised to see it weigh 365g. It has a Head Hydrosorb Pro grip with an overgrip and is strung with 17g poly. There doesnt seem to be any lead on it. I havent checked under the butt cap. I have a black RF97 with a similar setup...

EDIT: The strings that I used were gamma IO string 15L, strung at 58 lbs. I am playing with the RF97 autograph and tried the thickest polyester string 'It feels so dead and hitting a rock, not a tennis ball. When I try my usual topspin forehand, even with so much effort, the ball keeps falling...

Has anyone played with both racquets and noticed one played better than the other? I know it’s not as easy as this is better than that, as the player and play style make a huge difference in how it played for you. But just would like to hear your experience with the blade vs RF97

Hello to everybody :giggle: ! This is my first post here. A week ago i bought a new racket and its the RF97 autograph Black edition. I bought it from Tennis warehouse Europe and it arrived in 4 days (I am from Bulgaria). I will upload some pictures of the racket so you can all see it :)...

It seems so price wise according to TW: https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wilson_Pro_Staff_RF97_Autograph_Black_White_Racquet/descpageRCWILSON-PRF97A.html https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wilson_Pro_Staff_RF97_Autograph_Black/descpageRCWILSON-PSRF97.html Personally I have yet to pick (from US)...

Finally jumped on the RF97 wagon and had my first hit yesterday. Played a few groundies and a set, now I’m torn between switching to this and keeping my Yonex Duel 97. I also need to figure out how to play consistently outdoors again after being spoiled by the bubble in the background.

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...

Hey guys. I recently purchased the black matte RF97 Autograph. I strung it with the Volkl Psycho hybrid (Volkl Cyclone on mains at 58lbs and Volkl Power Fiber on crosses at 55lbs). This is one powerful racquet. I am over-hitting a lot with it. I have the same setup on my Yonex Duel G 97 330g and...
