The RF 01 Future, developed in collaboration with Roger Federer, incorporates the same technology as the Pro edition but with enhanced playability, making it ideal for improving players inspired to perform like Roger that need a reduced weight option. With a head size of 98 square inches, this racquet offers a tighter sweet spot for exceptional precision, ideal for players who can consistently hit it. The open string pattern adds a bit of forgiveness in the sweet spot for extra comfort and power while making spin easier to generate. Weighing lighter than average at 9.9 ounces (unstrung), it allows for easier movement and power generation, perfect for the next generation player looking to develop their control game. Its head-light balance (unstrung) enhances manoeuvrability, crucial for generating power and making quick movements at the net for decisive volleys. The beam thickness and overall flex provide a comfortable, arm-friendly feel that also allows more "dwell-time" of the ball on the strings for increased control and spin potential. Become a future star. In Roger Federer's final year on tour, he required a racquet that could compete with the new generation of heavy baseliners while maintaining his all-court style.
