Wilson RF 01 Future

Lighter than the RF 01, at 280 g against 300 g, and the 320 mm balance shifts the mass slightly toward the handle. Beginners and intermediate players can swing it with confidence, and it also suits juniors moving up from a children's racket to adult size.

The build is the same SABR layup: carbon fibre with Braid FORTYFIVE lengthens dwell time and lets the frame flex with a low-to-high swing. Full-length foam makes contact feel more solid, while a reinforced shaft and throat limit twisting. Strung 16x19 across 98 sq in, the head teaches precise contact and still gives spin. If 280 g is still too much, there is the Future Lite at 265 g.
