The Wilson Burn 100S is the showpiece of the latest Wilson racket line. Wilson has developed the Burn line for baseliners who want to dictate the game with a lot of power and spin. 3 of the 5 rackets in this new line have a more open string pattern, including the Burn 100S. The racket specifications in a row:
Brand: Wilson
Model: Burn 100S
Blade size: 100 sq/inch
Weight: 303 gr
Balance: 33.0 cm
Stringing pattern: 18/16
Length: 27 inches
RA: 73
In addition to well-known technical applications such as Parallel Drilling (enlarges the sweet spot) and Spin Effect Technology (open stringing pattern for more grip and spin on the ball), there are two new technical applications in this racket: the X2 longer shaft is ideal for double-handed backhands and makes switching to more extreme grip positions easier and high-performance carbon fiber used around the heart of the racket provides extra stiffness and power. This racket has an RA value (stiffness) of 73. The balance is slightly more towards the top.
The Wilson Burn 100S has to compete with the Babolat Pure Aero, the successor of the Babolat Aeropro Drive and with the Head Graphene XT Extreme MP A and indeed offers what Wilson promises: spin and power! The relatively stiff frame provides this extra power, where the 18/16 string pattern provides more grip on the ball and a longer ball/string contact, making this power controllable through the extra spin. So are you willing to sacrifice a little bit of comfort for a huge dose of power and spin? Then definitely check out the Wilson Burn 100S!
