The Wilson Burn is the most aggressive frame in Wilson's tennis lineup — built for baseliners who want to dictate every rally with raw power and heavy topspin. Sturdy Racquets is currently expanding our Wilson Burn range for Australian players. Register your interest with our team and we'll notify you the moment new Burn stock lands.
What makes the Wilson Burn unique?
Where the Wilson Blade is built for control and the Wilson Clash is built for comfort, the Burn is engineered for one thing: aggressive baseline pace. Featuring a stiffer frame (RA 70+ on the Burn 100), a lively response off the string bed, and Wilson's Spin Effect Technology with a wider 16x19 string pattern, Burn racquets reward fast, full swings with effortless depth and heavy spin.
Wilson Burn line-up
The flagship Wilson Burn 100 (300g) is the all-court power frame favoured by aggressive intermediate and advanced players. The Burn 100LS drops weight to 280g for swing-speed-focused players, the Burn 100ULS at 260g suits smaller frames and developing competitors, and the Burn 100S uses an 18x16 spin-effect string pattern for the heaviest topspin in the range. The Burn FST 99 is the players' control variant for advanced competitors who want Burn power with player-frame precision.
Where the Burn fits in our Wilson range
If you're choosing between Wilson series, the Burn is the spin-and-power option in our Wilson tennis equipment collection. For lighter, more forgiving frames, see the Wilson Ultra. For control with feel, see the Wilson Blade. Pair your Burn with a polyester string from our polyester strings range — Luxilon ALU Power and Wilson Revolve are the most popular choices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Wilson Burn designed for?
The Wilson Burn is built for aggressive baseliners — intermediate to advanced players with fast, full swings who generate their own pace and want to dominate from the back of the court. Its stiffer frame and lively response suit topspin-heavy players who attack short balls and finish points with depth and pace.
How does the Wilson Burn compare to the Babolat Pure Aero?
Both are spin-power frames with similar weight and head sizes. The Burn typically feels slightly stiffer with a more direct, crisp response, while the Pure Aero has a livelier, slightly more arm-friendly feel. Players who like Roger Federer's flatter ball flight tend to prefer the Burn; those who like Nadal's heavy, looping topspin tend to gravitate to the Pure Aero.
Is the Wilson Burn good for beginners?
The Burn is generally too demanding for true beginners — its stiffer frame and lively response require fast swing speeds to control. Beginners are better suited to the more forgiving Wilson Ultra or beginner tennis racquets range.
What strings work best in the Wilson Burn?
Polyester strings are the standard choice for Burn players who want maximum spin and control. Luxilon ALU Power, Wilson Revolve, and Babolat RPM Blast are popular at 22–25kg. Players with arm sensitivity should consider a hybrid setup with a multifilament cross — see our multifilament strings range.
