This was a repost of a previous photo that probably got lost in the thread...

special (expensive) edition or general release?

 

[A_Instead]

Now that is a sharp nice looking racket...

 

[Agassi-Fan]

If Fed said his tuxedo color scheme was Causing issues with his hand-eye coordination....this red color scheme is surely going to throw off his periferal vision!

special (expensive) edition or general release?

I have heard special edition available 9/15. Retail price $300. My bet is the good people of TW will have it available.

It will fit his red uniqlo outfit though.

You know the end is near when multiple ‘new and improved’ versions of the same thing come out. Sell while they’re hot.

 

[Smittithekitty]

It’s a limited edition assuming for collection and not for play... still I do like
The color way

Better off going through the Wilson Custom Racquet feature will be cheaper and you can get your own custom inscription.

So he will have a excuse when he gets his butt handed to him by Kyrios and Isner........All Red. Didn't Roger say he didn't like all red color cause it feels different ??

 

[Povl Carstensen]

Perhaps he didn't.

 

[srv vlly]

In sock's Instagram story he shared a video of fed hitting with zverev. Fed had the red rf97. Not a great view but it was definitely a red racquet.

 

[NuBas]

Looks similar to the new Yonex.

 

[jklos]

Good view of it here:

Went on the Wilson website and it’s posted, but it says it’s not for sale online. Will that be the case everywhere?

Link? I don't see it.

 

[Smittithekitty]

Well we got the news that small retailer and could get 1-2 if lucky the biggger account will obviously get the most...

Strange they would post it without an actual image

 

[mogo]

@NuBas , Have to agree looks like a Yonex Vcore paint job.

My go-to shop got it in early

 

[black iris]

[kaninfaan]

It looks pretty cool. Better than the tuxedo.

Also you would have to wait 6 weeks...

Bleh

I would have gotten one if it was this crystal soul red

 

[bwongman]

The racquet looks quite good in person. I was very tempted in getting one but I already have 4 RF97s

It didn't have the same butt cap as one posted in post 41 right?

[TennisHound]

Yep, totally digging the red. Its cool that Dimitrov is using the tuxedo version. The red RF kind of reminds me of the yellow Volkl Super G Mid 330 - kind of weird, kind of cool.

Wow they cut the knots really short, I'd be worried one of them works loose.

If you do the knots correctly, I dont think that woulds happen

 

[FedLIKEnot]

Well they are Priority One, so I trust there work. I wouldnt trust my stringer to do such things, but he is my stringer because he cannot do such things at least not consistently. Haha.

It is a beautiful racquet though. I just got my hands on a pair of Angell K7s and something about a red racquet just pops.
