I'm not a fan of many of the Wilson frames and prefer Volkl, Prince , Dunlop, Pacific or Yonex to most Of the Wilson's offerings. When the first RF 97 frames came out you could almost call them custom made because no two frames had the same specs, they were all over the place. Same problem is happening with the new Blade S series. I know of one retailor who has already sent them back because the specs are way out. Secondly with the RF, the 68 stiffness is too high. Most of the pro stock versions of these frames are in the low 60's which is where this racquet should be.
As for Volkl users being over the age of 65, well that's probably noticeable because all the Wilson users have had to stop playing by then because their arms can't take it anymore. People who know racquets know that Volkl or Yonex are way in front of Wilson.

You know a thread is going places when almost every post in it is being liked by TTers that normally would disagree with each other. This forum will reach its breaking point when you start to hear creaking noises. Soon we will need to ship this thread to Federer's inbox because this forum was never designed to bare such a load.

The truth has a way of resonating with people, even those who are stuck in deep, deep denial.

So I come home and find this box outside my door. Not expecting anything, I wonder what it might be.

It's a letter from the man himself!! Not that mass copied one, but a personal note. Now it finally makes sense.

Oh man, it's said Fed is one of the richest sport guys. How can he still be a part-time employee for TW? It's the costs for his children or Mirka is a shopaholic?

I mean, why does anyone work at TW? It's for the love of the game, or in this case, the love of the frame.

Let's just talk reality here for a second. There's a reason these frames are so highly coveted. The first thing I do when I play someone new is check to see if they have RF97's. If not, I just start laughing because I know it's probably going to be another easy W for Booger.

brb INSTANTLY add 10mph to your serve and 5mph to your groundies
brb designed by the GOAT himself, it seriously feels like he's guiding every shot
brb new one has patented black velvet paint technology, the ultimate luxury finish
brb first time I played with mine, a young hottie told me "it's super sexy"
brb every drooling TT poster tries to beat you with his $20 thrift store junk frame, but folds like a house of cards after the first backhand passing shot blows by him
brb perfect weight and balance for anyone who is at least as strong as an infant
brb EZ intimidation, players know you're for real when they see you pulling one of these out of the holster
brb only real pro stock-ish frame on the market
brb will go down as the GOAT frame
brb you probably spend more on sperrys and polo shirts every year
brb 14 out of top 20 players use one, biggest secret on the tour!
brb lol'ing @ you so hard right now

"I just sit on the bench, open the bag and the glow of the RF97A peeking from within is enough for the girls ..."

This is, of course because, when you arrived, your opponents got up and asked you to please put your bag on the bench where they were sitting because they saw that an RF97 was peeking out of your bag.

The circle is now complete. Mods, you may now lock this thread.

I'm surprised Wilson doesn't require a background check to purchase the RF97. I pulled one out of my holster this weekend and my opponents promptly requested donuts as their last meal. I obliged.

Finally nice to see an OP with common sense on this forum.


I had a match this morning against a former #1 singles college player. The very first words out of his mouth were, "oh wow, you have the new fed sticks?" I walloped him 6-1, 6-1. At every changeover and after the match, all he wanted to do was talk about the RF97. I won't be surprised at all if he shows up with his own next time we play.

Very kind of you, you gave him one game each set, 0-0 they know they are wasting your time, keep hope alive

He will be back, only this time with the new rf97 :(

Everyone who owns a fed stick is a kind person. People want to touch your racquet, hit with it, take pictures with it, etc... If you're not a nice person, you can't own one. That simple.

There should be a waiting period. No RF97 should be sold to any player that does not have at least two weeks cooling off since last lost. No exceptions because sticks don't destroy people. People destroy people.
 
The racquet - none of them appear to be using RF97A :)

@6august: Is your avatar an accurate portrayal of exactly what your are referencing re your 'squeezometer' ratings? :eek: Egads man!!

Now you're just being disingenuous; obviously the RF97As aren't made by pandas - those were the hammer 6.2s. The more I look at Brokenstrings avatar the more I want to look at it...can't figure it out...it seems to stir strange feelings in my loins...

Do you realise what you've done? Because of your chosen gear, and affiliation, you will not be invited to play at Rafa Nadal's new Academy.
