Roger Federer’s RF97<\/a> is one of the most popular tennis rackets on the market, so I decided to publish the below guide with the aim of helping people understand what racket Federer actually played with and whether the retail version is anything like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is still a debate on which player is the Greatest Of All Time<\/a> (GOAT), but there is definitely no contest when it comes to the most popular player of all time, and although he decided to retire in 2022, there is still a lot of interest in Roger’s Racket from recreational players, looking to emulate their hero on their local court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roger Federer’s Racket was a slightly customized version of the Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph<\/a>, which he used on tour from 2014 up until he retired in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike many other pro players, the specs for his racket were very close to the retail version you can buy online or in your local tennis shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main difference was a slightly higher strung weight of 366g<\/strong> for Federer’s frame versus a strung weight of 357g<\/strong> for the retail version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can check out this Facebook video<\/a>, where Roger unwrapped his new RF97 for the 2021 ATP Season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilson has yet to confirm whether a new version (V14<\/a> or V15) of the PS RF97 Autograph<\/a> will be released in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Racket did Federer use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
