Wilson Federer Tennis Racket Aluminium

Product Information

Roger used this to defend his title at Wimbledon using it in a total of 11 Grand Slams between 2004-2006, some of his best years on tour. Gone are the days of yesteryear where players like Rod Laver used traditional grips, neutral stances and barely rotated their bodies; modern day tennis is where players use all of their body almost thrusting themselves into every shot to generate the maximum level of power possible. In the video, Federer explains that he used to play with a vibration dampener but at some point, he lost it.

The Federer forehand is a shot that has defined tennis for the last decade. Not only is it a beautiful shot it’s also deadly and when it’s “on” his forehand can take the match away from even the most seasoned opponents. Should you try and copy the Federer Forehand? In a video for Luxilon, Federer explains that he chose this combination because it gives him extra control and spins on his shots and that he has been using this combination since 2002. Since he has switched to the Pro Staff RF97 Autograph, he’s only made cosmetic changes. At the Laver Cup in 2018, he used a limited-edition red version of the racquet. The Wilson Federer Adult Tennis Racquet is a great introductory model for anybody who wants to use a racquet endorsed by Federer but doesn’t yet have the experience to use it.At the moment we all know that Federer uses the Wilson Pro Staff RF 97 Autograph and has done since 2014. But before that, he used a 90 square inch frame for most of his career. This racquet is 95 sq. inches. Federer didn’t make a switch from 85 sq. in racquet to a 95 sq. in. racquet. This was just a paint job on his Pro Staff 85 he was previously using. Hyper Pro Staff 6.0 Yellow (2002-2003) Roger Federer’s next transition came in 2003 when he switched to using the Pro Staff Tour 90 en route to winning his first Wimbledon that year and his first Australian Open the next year. nSix-One Tour 90 If you’re a big Roger Federer fan, you’ll be happy to know that you can buy the same racquet that he’s currently using. However, if you’re just starting, you may want to start with a lighter racquet that will give you a little more maneuverability. Roger Federer uses a 4 3/8-inch grip size. This may seem small. However, the smaller grip size gives Federer the ability to get more wrist snap on his serves. Many other top players also like to downsize on the grip including Nadal who uses a 4 ¼ grip. You can take some measurements to figure out the best grip size for your racquet, but it mostly boils down to personal preference.

If we look at some of the individual specs like weight, stiffness and string pattern, you can see why it’s so well suited to the Swiss maestro. Wilson even wrote the string specs ( Wilson’s Champion’s Choice ) on the frame, although they didn’t add whether there is any lead tape, string savers or power pads. My guess is that he still uses string savers and power pads and I know that racquet customization company P1 customizes his handle. Federer changed to the Wilson K Factor Six One Tour in 2008 until 2010 when he made a minor change to the Wilson Six One Tour BLX and then the Wilson BLX Pro Staff Six One 90 in 2012. These racquets were almost identical except for a few minor updates.Federer’s racquet is 27 inches long, which is the standard for men. For reference, the maximum allowable length is 29 inches. The 97-inch head puts it at the upper end of the standard range for men’s racquets.

In the first half of 2014, Federer used a Wilson Prototype racquet to win a couple of tournaments before making the biggest change of his career from a 90-inch head to a 97-inch with his current Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph. Good article. One comment…heavier racquet weight does not by itself result in more power. Leaving frame stiffness aside for the moment, racquet head speed also must be factored in in combination with the weight/mass of the frame. The Roger Federer forehand– a thing of beauty, the most natural looking shot in the game of tennis but also one of the most devastating and versatile shots to ever grace the sport.

I’m not trying to downplay it as I’m a massive fan of the racquet, but you must remember while lethal in the right hands, it’s not a magic bullet. The price of Federer’s racquet is more than you’ll pay for intro models, but it’s still relatively affordable. Pro Staff RF97 Autograph Price The reason Federer uses Priority 1’s services is consistency across the year. While Federer isn’t one of the more meticulous players like Tim Henman, who was very sensitive around his equipment, he still wants that consistent feeling for the forty-odd weeks a year he spends on tour.This was after trialling several prototypes in the summer of 2013 in Hamburg and Gstaad before eventually settling on the 97 square inch model in the offseason.
