Wilson Federer Tennis Racket Aluminium

Product Information

Federer uses the 4 and 3/8 grip size so he can get extra wrist snap on his serves and to make changing his grips easier. Imagine how your arms might feel in the fifth set of a match after carrying a heavy racquet around for hours. I found an interesting video (see below) of an interview between Roger and Matthias Stach on the MyTennis Youtube channel.

Federer’s tension may change slightly between tournaments, but according to Yu, Federer likes the tension to stay relatively consistent. He generally keeps his tension within a kilogram (2.2lbs) the whole season. The Pro Staff 85 6.0 was Federer’s first Wilson racquet when he burst onto the scene in 1998. It was the racquet he used to defeat his long-time hero Pete Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001 on his way to superstardom. By wedging a piece of leather between the string and the grommet, the pad dampens the string bed by reducing vibration upon impact, This removes the need for a silicone vibration dampener to attach to between the strings. At 366g strung, the RF97A is a hefty weapon and because heavier racquets = more power this helps give him that pop on his shots he needs to fire winners.Roger Federer uses a hybrid setup of strings combining Wilson Natural Guts for the mains and Luxilon Ali Power Rough 16 L for crosses. This mix of two very different kinds of materials provides a wide array of features, which normally would not be possible.

If you are considering Pro Staff RF97 Autograph for yourself, it would be smart to study Federer’s game style first so that you can learn a thing or two from the legend himself.If you’re a beginner tennis player who wants a racquet endorsed by Federer but you don’t have the strength or skill to handle the weight of the Pro Staff RF97 Autograph, there are other options. Wilson also designed two similar racquets called the Pro Staff 97 and the Pro Staff LS.
