Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph Tennis Racket (2018) [Frame Only]

Wilson and the Roger Federer, the tennis icon and Wilson Advisory Staff member, have revealed the new Pro Staff RF 97 Autograph racket. The new racket, with the addition of vibrant, yet elegant, classic white accents at the three and nine o’clock positions, introduces the design concept of performance-enhancing graphics to the brand’s performance rackets. The stark contrast of Classic White on an all-black racket frame introduces a new level of visual acuity to the racket when it is in motion. Iconic design created by athlete-brand collaboration. The new Pro Staff RF 97 Autograph racket is the result of a collaborative, co-creation process between Roger Federer and Wilson LABS, the innovation hub at Wilson. The racket’s look is grounded in two classic and contrasting colours, black and white. Refined, minimalist design elements have been brought to the forefront to fully complete Roger Federer’s ultimate black and white tuxedo look, a look that matches his elegant and timeless personal style.

“I think this new racket looks very iconic, and classic, yet seems to jump off the court in a very recognisable way,” says Roger Federer. “My last racket featured a tuxedo-style look, so now, with the addition of white, I can finally say that my ‘tuxedo’ has its shirt. I love the way it looks and feels.”

“I also like the way the racket leaves a ‘line’ through the air to the eye, which adds to its specialness,” Federer adds.
