Designed for baseline dominance, the Wilson Burn 100LS produces powerful ground strokes thanks to its 280g frame and 100in headsize, while also maintaining manoeuvrability with a 5pt headlight balance.Like all rackets in the Burn family, the Burn 100LS features the popular Dual Taper Beam system, thickening where the head meets the shaft to control flex and enhance your power potential, especially during intense exchanges from the back of the court.The 100LS also boasts Spin Effect Technology in the form of its 18x16 string pattern. With two more mains than crosses, the racket allows greater string movement and thus more snap back on every shot, enabling the production of outrageous amounts of spin. Added to the Burns reputation for power, it makes for one formidable racket.

Demanding; ultra controlled for high-level players
3 April 2023Patrick92

originally posted on wilson.com

This is the true attacking player version of the Blade line, which plays closer to the Pro Staff RF 97 than any of the others. It has superb, pinpoint control. The racket itself is not powerful as a static measurement -- it has significantly less stringbed power than the Blade Pro 16x19, and generates less spin than the 16x19 just from the stringbed. And yet, if you are a high-level player, you may find that you hit with noticeably more power and spin from this racket. Why? It is that control that allows it to be powerful and spin-friendly. What I mean by that is that if you have excellent mechanics and the ability to generate power from your unit turn and your legs via fast head speed, this racket's control encourages you to keep blasting away because you can be ... MoreThis is the true attacking player version of the Blade line, which plays closer to the Pro Staff RF 97 than any of the others.

What I mean by that is that if you have excellent mechanics and the ability to generate power from your unit turn and your legs via fast head speed, this racket's control encourages you to keep blasting away because you can be absolutely sure where the ball will go directionally and in terms of depth. You are, effectively, encouraged to hit harder (which also means more spin, if you are trying for that) because you have such confidence about where the ball will go. Angled winners, approach shots, attacking slices, and pinpoint volleys come naturally. The center of the stringbed has a wide sweet spot, with the power of the racket declining less swiftly toward the edges, as compared to the 16x19. All these great things are not without tradeoffs, however. If you back off the power or find yourself on desperate defense, suddenly the racket feels underpowered, your shots seems to float, and the spin does not feel adequate. In particular, if you don't fully commit to hard second serve, the speed can be anemic and your topspin or slice peters out. Accordingly, this isn't the racket for intermediates or even for an expert who gets tight and tentative when the score is close. But if you already love the Pro 16x19 and want more control (which would make you quite picky, because that racket is excellent on control already), or if you like the regular Blade 18x20 but want a racket that's more solid all around, or if you play with a Pro Staff or RF 97 and want a more modern take, or if you are playing with some other brand's 18x20 and feel ready for a pro-level racket, this could be the one.

I bought this racquet after playing with the retail stock version of the blade 98 16x19 v8 for 1 1/2 years. During that time period I transitioned from a 3.5-4.0 player. What makes this pro racquet better than the retail racquets is the increased swing weight, more head heavy, more power, and a truer softer feel. The retail stick racquets are 7pts HL unstrung and 4pts HL strung while the pro stick racquet is 6pts HL unstrung and 2pts HL strung. This allows the user to have more access to easy power. Although due to the higher swing weight advanced players will receive the most benefits from this racquet. As for the FORTYFIVE technology vs the blade pro technology.

One big outlier between retail racquets vs pro stock racquet, is that pro stick racquets have a better accurate horizontal bending (stiffness rating) compared to retail racquets. Retail racquets, based upon testing, had stiffness ratings 3-5 pts higher than listed while the pro stock racquets had ratings 1 pt higher. Overall this racquet is great for aggressive baseliners and counterpunch players who are looking for controllable power and precision

This is essentially a slightly lighter and slightly more flexible version of the Pro Staff 97 v13. I'm a 4.5 player using the Pro Staff and as you can see from the photos, the hoop size is essentially the same (the Pro Staff seems to be 1 less square inch, 97 versus 98, only because of the perimeter weight bumps, which are absent on the Blade). The string pattern seems to be fully identical, as you also can see -- very open for a 16x19, particularly open along the longer axis because the top and bottom cross are almost at the edge of the hoop (very unlike the tighter Head Radical, for example). I've been told that the Blade Pro RA is 63-64 stiffness, which seems correct to me. The result is a very different racket from the "regular" Blade 16x19.

The Pro is heavier, more powerful (due to the greater stiffness), more spin-friendly (due to the wider string spacing), and less forgiving than the "regular" Blade. You need to make clean contact with long, fast strokes on the Pro, but if you do, you're rewarded with excellent control. This makes it more of an expert's racket. I find that I can play it interchangeably with the Pro Staff (after I added 6 grams of weight to the Blade at 12), since the stringbed feels the same. As a Pro Staff player, the Blade Pro feels a bit more forgiving but less powerful. Spin is terrific. Touch is terrific. Power is good. Defensive ability is first rate. If I plan to serve-and-volley, I use the Pro Staff, but the Blade Pro is almost as good for that; if I plan to duel from the baseline or mix it up, I use the Blade Pro for sure. They are both great rackets for advanced players, and I wouldn't be surprised if many people keep both in their bag the way I now do.

Have two of the RF97 V13's in my bag. Absolutely love this racket, but you have to know what you're getting yourself into. I've been playing strictly with Pro Staff's for over 20 years and this is my go-to stick. If you end up playing a 3+ set match, your shoulder will pay the price. Wasn't as much of a problem for me when I was younger, but even as I approach my 30's it has noticably taken its toll. For this reason, I keep a V13 Pro Staff in my bag for relief.That said, for drills and clinics and match play, it cannot be beat... especially in doubles. Any power hit to you will come right back at your opponent just by putting the stick on it.Would only recommend this for solid intermediate to advanced players.

You need to be at the top of your game all-around in order to make this stick work. There is little to no forgiveness on mishits, etc.I absolutely love the design. Comes with a leather grip which is nice, but I sub out the stock grip with Wilson Cushionaire and then put Wilson Pro overgrip on it. The white on black is such a classy look that will stand the test of time.

I wouldn't recommend this racket for higher level players
31 July 2022

I'm currently a high school tennis player and I got this racket hoping that it would help me improve overall. It was doing good the first 2 months, the quality was great and my shots were also looking much better than before. Recently, probably 2 and a half months after getting this racket, the frame broke in half. The strings are still enact but the racket is basically unusable. I dont know how it broke so easily considering that its a good racket + it was pretty new. If anyone wants to get a racket get a head branded racket or even a babolat racket, don't waste your money on this.

Pro Satff 97 v 13
23 May 2023

The raquet feels great. Solid on impact. Requires skillful use by the user but once you take a full swing and get the raquet to the desired place it will do what you want. Good at generating top spin. My first time with such a heavy raquet (315g unstrung), but I would say that the weight distribution is nice. It's quite headlight and I didn't feel the raquet was too difficult to maneuver. Read some reviews stating the raquet is underpowered. Coming from Yonex Vcore Pro, I didn't feel that at all. The raquet feels powerful and can produce a heavy ball loaded with top-spin.

Pro Staff v13
20 September 2022

This racket is just what I need. It is not too big( I like smaller head sizes, 90-95 sq inch) but 98 is still fine, the beam is a little too thick for me ( i like 20 mm) but then its 22mm offers less vibration and more stability. it is a low powered frame for control but if you add good poly + natural gut you can get a decent amount of power, is not too stiff so it offers a very good feel but not not too soft which means that the precision is good. The thing i most like is its cosmetics: fine paint and the 2 colored stripes in red and yellow give it a very classical look with a modern touch. Porbably the mostelegant tool out there, just like its creator, RF

So Good
9 February 2023

Love my RF97 v11 so much that I bought another RF97 but v13. I love it so much that I bought the custom version in Red with my nickname on it and the US flag. Feels similar to the v11 using the same strings. Need proper technique to wield this racquet. Had shoulder and wrist pain when I first bought my v11. Wound up giving up and switching to a lighter Yonnex Ezone. Took more tennis lessons and gave the v11 another go and my shoulder and wrist felt so much better. No more pain. Strength conditioning also helps. This will be definitively be a classic racquet. Miss Federer.

Very nice control
3 September 2021

This Pro Staff has wonderful feel, stability, and control. The weight is a little heavy. You feel it toward the end of a match, but it's a Pro Staff, it's supposed to be heavy. The spin it produces is good, but not great. However, I can still produce enough spin for the ball to easily drop inside on my most powerful stroke.I bought this racquet for my son for his 15th birthday. He's a 4.0 USTA. He demo'd a dozen racquets before deciding on this one. He was demoing mostly tweener racquets (11.2 oz w/ tons of spin) and loved the Head Speed MP and Wilson Blade, but I wanted him to try a player's racquet before settling on one, so I had him demo this player's racquet.Immediately he loved the feel and potential he has with this racquet.

He had previously played with a Wilson Burn that kept him on the baseline. He was amazed by how easy and precise his volleys were and the excellent control trumped the desire for massive spin. He loves spin but this racquet can do everything else perfectly. If you have at least a semi-western grip and swing low to high then you can produce enough spin. My son wants a little more power from the racquet, but this is due to his 15-year-old muscles. I showed him that I could produce the power needed. At 15, he is on the verge of having more adult-like muscles. This will help encourage him to do more weight training and pushups. We've strung the racquet lower to help produce more power.While demoing, he did struggle a little at first with serves due to the weight. I put 4 grams in the butt cap and he was able to swing upward more easily and it gave it even better maneuverability. He can do kicks and slices well.If you are wanting more spin and a little lighter racquet then I would suggest a Wilson Blade 98 18x20. It plays similar but is it does have more power on lighter strokes.We like the racquet strung at 54lbs with a full bed on Volkl Cyclone 17. Luxilon BB Alu Power and Solinco Hyper-G should also work great on this racquet.

Wilson blade v8 16x19 , 98sq in. 305g
23 July 2022

Highly recommend this racket, it feels lighter than your average 300gm - 325gm rackets, since swingweight and striffness is on the lower end. Full range of motion can be achieved without the blade feeling underpowered. It is a solid racket known for its “feel” and power and spin easily generated through 16x19 open string pattern. Technically if you are sound, this should make you feel to hit precise shots easily… Earlier used the babolat pure aero and switched recently.. that racket is lighter but seems heavier when swinging and messed up my technique. Go for it and buy it ,, don’t be scared of the weight , it does feel lighter when swinging and is a stable rally racket with awesome feel and control
