You don’t have to be a fan of Roger Federer to realise the man is class personified. In his prime he often made tennis look easy.

And the way he married ruthless dominance filled with beautiful strokeplay.

Indeed for many who became fans of the sport in the early 2000s, it was Federer’s elegant style of play, out-of-the-world return shots and deadly serves made that made them fall in love with the game.

The professional manner in which Federer conducts himself on and off the field makes him the perfect role model to budding young players.

He lets his racket do the talking, not his mouth. The Swiss legend treats his opponents and chair umpire with nothing but respect.

His high profile life as a tennis star means there’s plenty of interest in his life. This also includes the equipment he uses to play the sport.

Here we are going to analyse the most important tool a tennis player uses on court – a racquet.

Roger Federer racquet

Federer currently uses a Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph, often shortened to the RF97A. It’s his own customised line of racquets.

He’s used this frame since 2014 with little changes. That being said, the paint jobs have differed for different seasons and limited edition colours, the most notable instance being the one used at the Laver Cup.

He used to play with the Wilson Pro Staff 90, a similar frame but with a 90 square inch head size. He would switch to a more standard head sized racquet later in his career.
