Thanks to UrbionPT's post;
Went to my local Kmart and noticed the racquet is now on clearance, selling for $39.
Listing isn't on their website anymore, so you should probably call in advance to see if your local store(s) have stock.
There was 6 at my local (Oxenford, QLD), and I grabbed 2.
Specs can be seen here:

I could list countless male players who have two-handed backhands and women who have single-handed backhands (both historically and a few currently on tour) but I can't be bothered because this is such an obvious troll.
He's just trolling, pay no attention, just give it a down vote and move on
Just a branded/“endorsed” racquet and not the ProStaff similar to what actually plays with, mind you.
Probably good for beginners or casual players.
Just an FYI for all the gift buyers. This is a racquet for beginner/rec players. It simply bears the Federer name for marketing reasons.
Basically
-lots of power, little control
-easy to hit with, hard to hit well with
If you have a serious intermediate level or above (UTR 5+) family or friend and you want to buy a "Federer style" tennis racquet for, the ProStaff 97 (2021, 315g) is a much better choice, albeit much more expensive.
If you're poor you can usually pick up solid "players" racquets either second hand ($-varies) or when the next version is coming out for ~$200 AUD or less.
What’s utr 5?
Universal Tennis Rating. A measure of skill in match play.
Oh really? And here I was expecting to pay $30 to get the same racquet as the Fed Express………
Can i play like a pro using this?
You can… But will you? Probably not!
You can use the grip for something else if you want……
I've been told that if this racquet can not produce backhand like Roger then you are entitled for a refund.
Can confirm after purchasing this racquet, I play just as good, if not better than Roger Federer. Would purchase again/10
Would purchase again/10
This review ranks.
Even the best photographers can take masterpieces with a point and shoot
like my photo
Thanks!!!!
Reviews say this can be used at French Opens but isn't great. Can confirm, I have not won many French Opens with this racquet.
I paid rebel's price earlier this year 😭
What sort of a racquet is that?!
Good for kids or useless (profanity) according to my mate (so good for me lol)
Wow, $149.99 at Rebel, this is a steal, great post OP ! Wonder if Rebel would price match. I bet my local K-Mart won't have the stock.
Note that the Pro here stands for Probably, not professional like some of you might think!
shxx, i bought these a few days ago for $69.
Me too but I went back today and got the refund for the difference as both I’ve bought are still unopened
Is it in their policy? Refund the difference? I am the same, bought before Christmas online.
Basically what they do is they refund the total amount and then you buy it back cheaper
None at Kmart Innaloo unfortunately.
Thanks for the heads up, Kmart Warwick?
Will I be as good as Federer?
Grinches out in force today. Have an upvote
Balls yesterday and bats today. These deals are getting suspiciously coincidental
You cannot be serious!
Maybe return your racquet.
You were supposed to turn into Federer not John McEnroe.
Might try K-mart nearby just in case…
None at Kmart Burwood, NSW
Grabbed the last two at Kmart Chermside for the missus and me ☺️
Get the Nadal instead
Anybody manage to grab a bargain from Sydney?
I was able to refund and repurchase at the new discounted price, thank you so much for sharing!
Tennis is the worst game to play if your opponent is a beginner.
If you train every day it's possible to increase your patience and empathy levels.
worst to play as a beginner too.. cannot give up on squash instinct and stop sending balls over the cage
Good for single handed players who prefer accuracy and flamboyant backhands rather than brute force
