Roger Federer’s Tennis Racquet

Every year, millions of people tune in the Grand Slams and the major tennis tournaments to watch the pro’s play. But what do the pro’s play with in these tournaments? My name’s Julian and this is going to be part of a series called The Pro’s: Racquets and Equipment. 

Our player today is Roger Federer

and the question we’re answering is

What racquet does Roger Federer play with?

Roger Federer’s Racquet:

Unlike Andy Murray , Roger Federer actually plays with the racquet he says he does! Roger Federer’s tennis racquet is the Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autographed Tennis Racquet.

Roger worked extensively with Wilson to design a racket especially for his playing style and he plays with it across the world in tennis tournaments and Grand Slams.

Here are the specifications for Roger Federer’s tennis racquet:

Wilson Pro Staff Roger Federer Autograph 97
Head size	97 sq in	Length	27 in.
Strung Weight	12.9 oz	Strung Balance	9 pts HL
Stiffness	68	Grip Size	4 3/8
Grip Type	Wilson Premium Leather	String Pattern	16 x 19

The Wilson Pro Staff RF97 is readily available in tennis stores and online worldwide. One of the best things I like about Federer, is that the version Roger Federer plays with on the court and the version offered. It’s said that he was actually very excited about the concept of letting his fans play with the exact racquet he plays with.

I’ve actually played with this racquet before and wrote a review about it here. If you want to play with the same racquet the king himself uses, pick The RF97 Pro up today and swing like Federer on the local tennis courts.
