Wilson RF 01 Pro Hall of Fame – Roger Federer Special Edition

The Wilson RF 01 Pro Hall of Fame is an exclusive special edition of the RF 01 Pro – the flagship model in the RF series, developed in close collaboration with Roger Federer. The racquet combines Federer’s preference for precision and control with a modern construction designed for fast and versatile all-court play.

The Hall of Fame edition celebrates Roger Federer’s outstanding career and makes this model particularly appealing to both Federer fans and collectors. The throat of the racquet features an exclusive engraving commemorating Federer’s Grand Slam victories throughout his career.

Beneath the exclusive design is an uncompromising performance racquet. The RF 01 Pro weighs 320 grams unstrung and features a 98 sq. in. head size. The relatively high weight provides excellent stability and plow-through at impact, while the head-light 31.5 cm balance helps maintain maneuverability.

The open 16x19 string pattern allows players to combine precision with spin and pace. The result is a racquet designed for technically skilled players who can generate their own racquet-head speed and want a stable frame that responds precisely to their input.

The racquet is supplied unstrung but can be ordered strung as an optional extra – make your selection above.

Developed Together with Roger Federer

The RF 01 Pro was developed together with Roger Federer and is the model in the RF series that most closely reflects his preferences in terms of weight, balance, precision, and feel.

Compared with Federer’s previous RF97, the RF 01 Pro features a slightly larger head size and a lower weight. The construction is designed for modern attacking tennis, allowing the player to quickly transition between heavy groundstrokes, slice, spin, attacking shots, and volleys.

The RF 01 Pro is particularly well suited to players who use the entire court and like to create and dictate points themselves.

320 Grams for Maximum Stability

At 320 grams unstrung, the RF 01 Pro is considerably more demanding than standard 300-gram racquets.

The additional weight provides excellent stability as the pace increases and helps the racquet handle heavy incoming shots. On clean contact, the player is rewarded with a solid response and the ability to drive through the ball with both weight and precision.

This is not a racquet we would primarily recommend for beginners. The RF 01 Pro is best suited to advanced recreational and competitive players with developed technique and sufficient swing speed to take full advantage of its characteristics.

SABR Frame Design

Wilson’s SABR Frame Design is an aerodynamic frame construction developed to help the racquet move faster through the air.

This is particularly useful for aggressive all-court players who need to accelerate the racquet head quickly, change direction, and transition between different types of shots.

The combination of the aerodynamic frame and head-light balance is particularly important in the RF 01 Pro, helping to make its relatively high 320-gram weight more manageable.

Braid 45 – Control and Ball Feel

Braid 45 positions the double-braided fibers at a 45-degree angle. This construction allows the frame to flex effectively at impact while maintaining the stability required for high-paced play.

The result is a controlled and responsive feel with clear feedback from the string bed.

For players who like to vary their game between powerful flat shots, topspin, slice, and delicate touch shots, this is an important part of the RF 01 Pro’s character.

Feel Fill

The RF 01 Pro features Wilson’s Feel Fill technology, with PU foam placed inside the frame.

The technology helps filter vibrations and contributes to a more solid and dampened feel at impact. This enhances the racquet’s premium feel without removing the clear response that advanced players often look for.

Glide Guard

Glide Guard integrates the bumper and grommets into a more streamlined construction designed to reduce air resistance.

This contributes to faster racquet-head acceleration and makes the RF 01 Pro more maneuverable than its 320-gram weight might initially suggest.

RF 01 Pro or RF 01?

The main difference is the weight. The RF 01 Pro weighs 320 grams unstrung, while the RF 01 weighs 300 grams.

The RF 01 is faster and easier to maneuver, making it suitable for a broader range of players. The RF 01 Pro demands more from the player but rewards good technique with greater stability, more weight through the ball, and an exceptionally solid feel.

For players who like the RF concept but find 320 grams too demanding, the 300-gram RF 01 is the natural alternative.

For advanced players looking for the most uncompromising performance in the RF series, the Wilson RF 01 Pro Hall of Fame is the obvious choice.

The Wilson RF 01 Pro Hall of Fame combines the stability of a 320-gram frame, a precise 98 sq. in. head size, and Federer-inspired all-court performance in an exclusive special edition that belongs both on the tennis court and in a racquet collection.
