Long awaited and tested with much mystery and fanfare by the tennis great himself: the Wilson Pro Staff 97 RF Autograph, is Roger Federer's answer to the modern game!

In line with Roger Federer's desire to deliver more power and spin to his opponents, Federer upgrades from a 90 sq/inch head size to a 97 sq/inch. This significantly larger sweet spot combined with a 16/19 string pattern provides plenty of grip on the ball for spin and slice. This reissue of Wilson's classic features a box-beam frame construction, PWS head stabilizers, a graphite/kevlar material mix, a leather grip, a 30.5 headlight balance and weighs in at 340 grams clean on the hook. You'll need some serious muscle to play the Wilson Pro Staff 97 RF Autograph!
The frame does exactly what you would expect: more and easier power and spin, but with the precision that its predecessors also offered. The Wilson Pro Staff 97 RF Autograph is a top racket for the heavyweights among us, but can be used by a very small group of players.
