Finding a new racquet Part 1 👉🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJOWpJaLlsd7hbMsi=cvWsz1-jf8PlZ7ww

[@Revjonbeadle]

I am totally in for your journey to the perfect racquet. Lol. Also, is this a clay court?

[@wildflower7574]

It's one of the best reviews. Point play makes all the difference. Thanks

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Point play is key when testing 💯

[@thomasc4777]

As an observer, the 280 looks like you've been playing with it for years. Everything looks fluid and natural, particularly on the serve and forehand. But only you know best. However, I can tell you from personal experience that the added weight, while desireable, becomes more difficult to maneuver as the calendar pages turn. Best wishes!

[@rbarreira2]

It's not about the calendar pages per se, it's your strength levels. If you work out and are lucky enough to be healthy, you can easily maintain your strength throughout the vast majority of your life.

[@scoeroyal2768]

One of the best RF reviews I've seen online, if not the best. A wonderful unbiased review. For the everyday user, the future is the best and then the 01 is more for intermediates. The Pro is truly just for a Pro-esque player

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you

[@jackieliu1232]

what NTRP level is intermediate? Asking because I’m a noob just started but play almost daily, bought the rf01, then saw this video. I’d like to see when I’ll be good enough for it. TIA

[@ericfreeman5795]

Excellent review. Many reviews just show the person playing with the racquet and then give some final opinions, many of which are difficult to understand. On your review, the real time play-by-play, stating your opinions as you play, made everything a lot more understandable. I could comprehend better the nuances of each racquet model. Great review, Nico. Looking foreward to more. Have you done other reviews on Wilson racquets, like the Blades or the Ultras? If not, it would be very interesting.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Reviews shifts then blades next…

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

If you don’t love the 300g shift, I quit this channel forever. Hahahhahaha. Good luck. Oh by the way, I tried the Aero98 against the shift. Aero 98 might be 6/10 of Carlos’s problem. What a miserable frame except for the way the throat feels on the FH take back

[@chjcptt]

@@IntuitiveTennis can't wait to see the blades review😁

[@dlbugge]

Best review I’ve heard- was expecting you to like the 300g but happy to hear you liked the 280- I’m going to give them both a try! Thx!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you

[@CzechTennisGuy]

Great review, very close to my own experience. From all of the 3 rackets I like the most the regular 300g version. But the 280g Future is so good, it's a joy to use on every day coaching. It's great for easy hitting, feeding and just playing around. But whenever you need more from the racket to play points with juniors, it is there. It plays like a regular 290g-300g racket to be honest but it feels so light and easy to use it blows my mind. At first I didn't like the new RF's, but the more I played with them, the better they got. The Pro version is out of my range. 331 SW is too much. I like 315-320 SW rackets. Thanks for your honest review. 👏

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙏🙏

[@steveurmah]

Love the video! I got the RF 01 and the RF 01 Pro myself to play around and one thing I noticed is that it's worth it to string them a bit lower, the difference in sweet spot size and forgiveness feels significant to me. I initially had Alu Power Rough at 23/22kg and it felt a bit too tight in these.

[@mirthandir]

How low now your tension?

[@steveurmah]

@@mirthandir 22/21 should be a good starting point with poly. If you go higher, you will see playability improve after a few hours of use.

[@vincentvo8347]

The RF 01 Future looks amazing in your hands. So much freedom in your shots. It's definitely a front runner with some customization. I recently switched to the Diadem Nova V3 100 from a Tecnifibre Tfight 305 RS and I didn't realize how much my game was being held back by a control frame. I'd love to see you try the Diadem Nova line, they have many different versions. (Including a 285g named the "V3 Team".

[@royxuliang310]

Thanks for the information. Rf 320g reminds me of Asian vision Wilson 90 racquets, it was 320g and 9pt HL, also 16*19. And it was so much friendly than 340. Now, it come out again, guess, physics is fixed on 320g 9pL or 340g 12PL,

[@The4.0Guy]

Nick very clearly played best with the lightest version, i think because his strokes had the most racquet speed and he does not block or chip the ball much where mass is more useful

[@IntuitiveTennis]

True

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

Also if Milan wasn’t causing the racquet to twist in his hands during match play, that is another reason not to be swinging a heavier racquet.

[@picknpredict]

Best racket review I have ever seen.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you

[@benchan85]

Nice review! Another way to balance to test is to do the same thing on another day and play it in reverse order. Going from light to heavy always throws my timing off more than going from heavy to light.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

For sure, several days of practice is even better

[@oliverdesouza5741]

Great review especially the point play analysis. However, it is often very difficult to move from a light racket to a heavier one in such a short timeframe, without a period of mini-tennis or such like to adjust your timing. Without that, heavier rackets will feel clunky and hard to manoeuvre because you have got used to the timing with the lighter one. It's always better to start with the heavy racket, then go lighter.

[@老谈]

Best RF01 review on the internet.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you

[@MrFeast603]

[@bushmenaa]

Greetings from Bulgaria, Nick it’s normal that pro version is feeling wired to you because you use power racket like pure drive. The RF is for control and less power and less racket speed :) so far the best review of RF series so far! The other guys just complain because they can’t play with it :)

[@tenniswithandy]

Lovely review Nikola. I personally use the RF 01 Pro and it is indeed difficult but it is rewarding once you get used to it. The RF 01 Future is my favorite of the line though as it is the most customizable while still retaining the DNA of a player’s frame.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you

[@dalef84]

Last dropshot was gold. Nice racket!

[@Mewborne89]

Although I wasn’t a fan of these new RF models, I’ve been with Wilson most of my life and I think they’ve got the best overall feel in the market. I’ve tried every brand out there too. Not even just feel on contact, but feel in hand, which is very important. I am a Blade user but maybe you should try the regular Blade 98 16x19 and the Blade Pro model in both string patterns. The Blade Pro is a completely different mold (H22) but it is almost a hybrid of a Pro Staff and a Blade IMO. Hope this helps, happy hunting!

[@tophersuwita]

Blade Pro feels more like a baseliner racket than Blade which can be very viable in all-court playstyle. Nevertheless the paintjob is very beautiful

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

True comments on the blade here. Started with an Aero, went to Blade, then went to Blade Pro and stuck with it for a few years now. Just demo’d Bababoard Pure Aero 98 vs Shift 300G. Might be shifting away from the blade.

[@xtremevp12]

I wanted to budget for the RF duffel bag. But your review of the racket is making me want to buy the Future too

[@hoangz24]

Your forehands look absolutely killer on the future. The shorter handle is probably for RF 1 hand BH

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Most racquets have a handle that too short Especially Wilson’s

[@tanjianxun4301]

Really enjoyed this review. Very thorough and great feedback about the pros and cons of each racket.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MK-------]

Another great rackettest. Just like in the Wilson shift video, you can often tell from your shots which racket plays better for you. You simply see that you hit them better, more stable and they come harder and deeper. Good playtest.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you

[@MochiNPRA]

I just got a Blade v9 16x19 and it feels heavenly. My stringer gave me Technifibre NRG2 on the mains at 54 and Solinco Hyper G on the cross at 53. I came from the Blade v2 and the difference in feel is night and day.

[@1981zayn]

Thank you Nick 👏, was looking between the shift 99 L V1 and the future 01 , you have convinced me to go with the future 01 it will help with my arm and swing speed coming from a yonex vcore

[@CH-yp5by]

Not enough weight will not provide not enough plough through against quality players with heavy balls and it will give more vibrations to your arm due to a lack of momentum.

[@Wooooosaaaaaa]

@@CH-yp5byadd some lead tape. That's it

[@18yearsoldnot]

I play with a shift 300 leaded up to 320g unstrung. Beautiful racquet. Unbelievable serve power. Very very stiff when you hit flat but this means you can string with multifilament. I have my own stringing machine so I just replace the strings every other hit

[@IntuitiveTennis]

@1981zayn thank you, reviewing 3 shifts next

[@tinecrnugelj5253]

I love to here some Croatian language between points. 😀 Great review! Greetings from Slovenija

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙌🙏

[@andrewhwang8951]

Milan playing better after his trip- felt he was striking the ball super clean. And great review, Nick. I think it’s important for your watchers to note how flat you hit the ball, so your experience is perhaps less applicable to super spinny Rafa-like players. But I appreciate your honesty with regard to your strengths and physical limitations. I really didn’t predict you’d like the Future the best!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thanks, Andrew. Yes, the reviews are specific to me. However, I discuss maneuverability. Although I am a flat ball striker, I am able to hit with spin on both sides, underspin, and kick and slice on the serve. I am going to point out whether the test racquets can help with that.

[@sultanabran1]

the handle stops where it stops because of the flex point of where the throat start flaring out to the racquet head. if you move that further up, it will change the flexpoint all around.

[@marcelobarros5729]

Great review overall. Just one thing missing IMO is to measure the actual specs of the rackets you received as they can be all over the place. It can be the difference between the racket feeling maneuverable and stable or not.

[@sayles7858]

I think one issue is that when you use the racket lines to play points, you start with the lowest weight. So when you switch to anything heavier, it’s going to feel much less maneuverable and harder to time. If I use my technifibre as the first racket of the day it feels fine. But when I use it after using my head extreme it feels way heavier. Love your videos though. You are a great coach and player!

[@gsburke]

Great review and video editing ... Would be interested to see the 280 leaded up at 3 and 9 o'clock.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

I just got back from Croatia and no longer need lead and no longer have a single double fault. Thanks Nik. Lol. Great video indeed

[@philsgoodman7968]

Hey Nick, I've been following your racquet journey closely and really appreciate you explaining your thought process. It's very interesting to see that you liked the RF 01 Future, even though it's so different from the PD on paper. Same goes with your opinion on the EZONE despite that being so similar to the PD on paper. I looked at some players with similar racquet journeys (Hyper Hammer/PD), and also noticed they don't always switch to another power racquet. Not sure if you're still taking suggestions, I think the Head Radical MP is worth a shot, and is something I've seen players with similar taste switch to. It should have some of the same characteristics you like about the RF. The Extreme Pro/MP might also be a good fit. Also worth considering would be the Solinco Blackout. Lastly, I think it's worth looking at the TFight 300, which should give slightly more feel and control than the X1, which seemed to be your main concern in the previous video.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Great suggestions

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

Wilson is the Way. Amen

[@lteng5941]

[@protossmr2344]

Just got the RF 01 Future 280g. It is beautiful I can feel my forehand better, it is exactly like you hit in the last attempt in the video. Slice is good as well, especially my OHBH is improving. I love it. I use string Alu Element 23kg. Much better than my previous purchase with Blade v9 100. The Blade is only better in Serving. And with the RF I can feel when I touch the ball and also the sound. It is not muted as the blade.

[@rolotomasi88]

Fantastic video. I would always go for the lighter racket and start customising to my liking. You really cannot do this with a 320g (unstrung) racket. The 280g looks nice and gives plenty of room for customisation.

[@adiilinca2192]

Played with the pure strike for a couple of years and always felt it was kind of holding me back in the explosiveness department. Tried my friends Wilson Clash while on holiday and i felt the explosiveness of it, my friend said that i was a different player with his clash vs when i played with the strike. Just got a clash v2 100 and im loving it ❤ You should try it, Nick. Keep up the good work, love your videos.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Will try clash for sure. Thank you 🙏

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

Seems like Prince is holding Babolat’s hand, leading it into obscurity. Wilson is in a league of its own. There is nothing like hitting a clean shot in the sweet spot of a Wilson.

[@Virtua_Tennis]

Can't wait for you to try Roddick's Shift 99. I personally find it to be a goldilocks stick. I also think based on you historical preferences and your reaction to the RF01 Future the new 2024 BOOM MP could be a good fit as well.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Shift is next

[@mouselim72]

Nick, I have the Wilson RF 01 Future as well and this is after I've tested between this and the RF 01. You know which one I chose. PS: As other comments, I also feel that you play more naturally with the Future than with the other two. Your strokes look cleaner and more incisive. I think this can go into your 2nd round consideration.

I am sure you know this better than I, but wouldn't it make sense to add weight at 3 and 9 or maybe 2 and 10 to get some stability against twisting while not slowing down the racket as much in terms of added swing weight since the big plus on this racket for you was the ability to swing through? Very nice review and the point play is much appreciated.

You are right Gotta play around w lead tape placement and see what feels best

Great review! I think you may get better results with heavier ones if you do it before the 280.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I have been thinking about this. Fatigue is a problem when the racquet is too heavy. That’s why using them first could be misleading. It happened with the Shift kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqqnYXuCg9GXrKssi=DXuW2AUskDBFipUJ

[@gab_ale]

Have you tried Dunlop racquets? FX500 or SX300? I really liked the RF01 Pro. As you noticed it has a low launch angle, so one has to be mindful of that. Maybe get the Future and add more weight on the handle. That will make it crazy maneuverable.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Haven’t tried Dunlop yet

[@DrMarkChin]

Perhaps the Pro favours a larger backswing+swing - I come from the 6.1 Tour (K-factor) and RF97A (340g) - and I found the Pro a delight to use. Excellent review though!

[@Hope4unow-7]

With your go to being a Babolat PD, the future would be the closest. As you go up in weight with this style of racquet, it just gets much farther in design and style of racquet that you're most comfortable with.

I'm thinking about changing my racquet, and on Reddit, people are recommending I get one that's at least 300g, saying I'd outgrow a lighter one. I'm a 77kg male. Is that accurate?

Hi! Could you please post a strung weight comparation between the 3 versions? I demoed 2 racquets that were advertised 280g and 290g unstrung, but had equal strung weight (309g).

[@7347sarah]

The RF01 Nick, watching all the shots you're hitting with the three Wilson RF series, is the right one. The Pro might give a little more through speed on serve but not significantly because energy retention is so important as the match goes longer and that means having a weight that optimizes your hitting power and direction. Into the second or third set with the 300G RF01 or even later in the first set you will be hitting those great corner shots with relative comfort, also your backhand is at it's best with the 300G model and compliments your forehand with little difference between the airspeed on both sides. Closely observing your playing it is very clear the mid-weight RF01 suits you best and I'm of similar build (but inferior ability) to you but can tell it would be the same story for me also and if I were to buy one of those three it would be the RF01 300G racquet. Thank you Nick you're the best tester of racquets on You Tube, and also the nicest person, so keep going with it Nick please and God bless you, Chris from Australia.

I've heard that the RF 01 Pro is a magical racket IF you can play with it, but if is the key word because it's extremely demanding so I think it's a frame that a very small number of players will absolutely love and the rest of us won't be able to handle

to anyone finding any pro staff/ rf with little power, remember that it is so head light that you can NOT muscle the ball. hence why federer has such a loose wrist, because he uses the rackets momentum to generate pace. power strings will help but im certain that technique is more important

Fantastic review video Nic. Given your experience with the Pure Drive Plus, how would you compare it with the RF 01 Pro? I tested the RF 01 Pro and found less power coming off my forehand, but far more accuracy and stability from my one-handed backhand.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

For sure rf pro more muted than PD

You should try the TF40 16x19 New one comes in 290, 305 and 315

Technifibre representative at ATP tournament said they’re redoing line again (seems wild to do it so fast) to change the balance point and swing weight in the racquet. Technifibre makes good stuff but seems to change their designs faster than any other manufacturer (which may be a good thing?)

The grip length like you complained about/pointed out is yet another reason to choose Yonex. Compare grip lengths and you will very quickly see that Yonex is the only one who gives more space for 2h backhand users. I swear that some companies like Wilson makes grip lengths made for 1h backhand users. I would advise not to do 3-4rounds of Overgrip, instead you change the replacement grip and use more of that to build the grip length further up.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

It’s not 3-4 overgrips, it’s one overgrip layered 3-4 times at the end of the handle.

[@Nessaj87]

@@IntuitiveTennis Yeah I got that. But for the rest of the grip you are using replacement grip + 1 layer of overgrip, right? It won't feel the same with 3-4 layers of overgrip when for the rest of the grip you have a replacement grip beneath the overgrip. Especially not on the RF rackets where the Pro has a real leather grip and the 2 others have the "fake" leather grip replacement grip.

Nick, I just tried the RF 01….Had the same sensations as you…. So, I ordered the Clash 100 v2 (gut mains 55; poly cross 52) Should be good for a 4.0 senior singles player (76)..🤣🤣Ciao, John

@IntuitiveTennis - I use the KFactor blade 98 18X20 (2008) as my main racket (and love it for its feel and control), and the Blade CV 18X20 as a backup. I have both strung with the Wilson Champion's Choice Duo Tennis String. None of the Blades produced later on have been able to match the KBlade 98 for me. In terms of swing, accelaration through the ball, weight, balance, control will it be hard to adjust to the RF 01 Pro? Also, if the Kbalde has a plowthrough of 4 and the Prostaff has a plowthrough of 10, where would you rate the powthrough of the RF 01 Pro?

Nice video, exactly my problem, I can't demo racquets easily as they will come with different strings and that makes a lot of difference. However, would I suggest, head speed and head extreme for future testing? I found 0 head racquets in your videos, I'm just curious about the opinion, it's what I currently stick now as I can feel that I can swing so fast with head speed 2023 (300g) everything else come natural.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I will test Head racquets for sure I have a prestige that I use from time to time kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHKknIitepVkfLcsi=rTGfosLTc3L3nNSu

@intuitivtennis you really should be comparing the ProStaff X which will suit you very well I guess

[@750andymat]

ive tried at least 50 rackets over the last couple of years and settled on the pro kennex ki10 apparently the original pure drive mould. could be the one?
