How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the RF 01 is built around control and stability. Its power is the softest spot, so weigh that against what you prioritise. The weight sits in the accessible-but-stable middle, workable for a wide range of swing speeds. Arm comfort is middle-of-the-road: fine for most players, worth softer strings if you are sensitive.

String and tension recommender

Setup
Multifilament/poly hybrid
Tension
48-54 lbs / 22-24.5 kg
A slightly firmer setup can sharpen directional control. Do not chase control with high tension if comfort drops. Premium hybrid setups.
