Looking for a fresh start of your tennis career with a new racquet? Then the Wilson Burn FST 99S may just be the one for you!
Designed with the patented Spin Effect technology, the WILSON Burn FST 99S tennis racquet effectively produces more spin and power without players making significant changes with their swing. This racquet is part of the BURN FST (Fast Speed Technology) which includes the FST 95 and FST 99. Having tested this equipment, it definitely fits the “Generation Fast” players who play predominately from the baseline.
After a bit of adjustment with the stringbed, we are able to take advantage of the spin-friendly racquet’s higher launch angle and generate enough speed for our groundstrokes. The spin potential is there and it gives the Burn FST 99S an edge.
Volleying using the Burn FST 99S is a breeze. Top-notch maneuverability makes us want to approach the net more often. Service-wise, spin increase is definitely noticeable as we hit kick and slice serves that leave the opponents scrambling at the other side of the court.
The easy swinging racquet makes it easy to return shot and not surprisingly, it works well for both offensive and offensive returns.
Overall, we like the Wilson FST Burn 99S as it works well from all aspects. Those playing from the baseline will find this racquet great in maneuverability and control.
