  We used a combination of Hubble Space Telescope and ground based data to
probe the dynamical state of the low mass Galactic globular cluster NGC 6101.
We have re-derived the structural parameters of the cluster by using star
counts and we find that it is about three times more extended than thought
before. By using three different indicators, namely the radial distribution of
Blue Straggler Stars, that of Main Sequence binaries and the luminosity (mass)
function, we demonstrated that NGC 6101 shows no evidence of mass segregation,
even in the innermost regions. Indeed, both the BSS and the binary radial
distributions fully resemble that of any other cluster population. In addition
the slope of the luminosity (mass) functions does not change with the distance,
as expected for non relaxed stellar systems. NGC 6101 is one of the few
globulars where the absence of mass segregation has been observed so far. This
result provides additional support to the use of the "dynamical clock"
calibrated on the radial distribution of the Blue Stragglers as a powerful
indicator of the cluster dynamical age.
