It is balanced at 30.5 cm for a 12 pt. head light rating.
This Burn FST 99S utilizes Wilson's High Performance Carbon Fiber, FST, X2 Shaft, Spin, and Smart Tennis Sensor technology. In a departure from the BLX material, Wilson made this racket out of High Performance Carbon Fiber to increase frame stiffness. FST(Fast Speed Technology) incorporates an aerodynamic octagonal shaft design which allows for the racket to cut through the air more quickly. X2 Shaft technology is a combination of a longer handle to accomodate two handed grips and a ergonomic shaft shape to allow a quicker change of grip positions. Spin Technology is the reduction of cross strings. The resultant larger string spacing allows balls to penetrate further into the string bed allowing more grab and dwell time. This racket is Smart Tennis Sensor ready. The easy-to-remove butt cap trap door insert allows you to insert the Sony Smart Tennis Sensor(not included) on your racket and let the built-in motion and vibration sensors analyze each stroke. Results are beamed through Bluetooth® connection to your smartphone so you can see them right away.
Recommended string tension is 50 to 60 lbs on this 18X17 string pattern. My Babolat RDC tested the frame stiffness at 72 so it looks like Wilson's High Performance Carbon Fibers are delivering on their promise of big power for the baseliner that Wilson built this racket for. With a tapered beam width of 20.5mm down to 19.5 at the tip, a narrow throat bridge, and a midplus head size of 99, I would recommend this racket for the accomplished player who faces a variety of playing styles and desires power on the serve and speed on the groundstrokes.
The Wilson Burn FST 99S is available in 4 1/4 and 4 3/8 grips. Be sure to specify your desired grip size when checking out.
