This spin monster comes at price that is too good to refuse
Introducing the Burn 100S v5! Like the previous generation, this spin-monster gives intermediate and advanced players the tools to overwhelm their opponents with power and spin. Boasting an 18x16 Spin Effect string pattern, the Burn 100S puts a tight grip on the ball, resulting in easier access to spin. Made with a firm Carbon Fiber Graphite, the Burn's response feels crisp and powerful. This stick also features Parallel Drilling which helps the strings soak up more vibration and transfer greater energy to the ball. Ultimately, this powerful and spin-friendly weapon is dangerous in the hands of an aggressive player. The great price makes it one of the better options in its class.

DisappointedI bought the Wilson Burn 100S v5. This racquet is no better than the $40 Wilson's at Walmart. If you have any kind of power serve, stay away from this racquet. At least it is appropriately named, Wilson Burn. Wilson is burning the buyer with this P.O.S. I should be able to return this based on false advertising.
Love my Burn. Have threeI love my Burn racquets. Great power, particularly when I hit with heavy hitters. Love Wilson racquets, particularly their color. I bought the new Ultra and Blade. But I come back to the Burn. To the other reviewer, I recommend an arm-friendly string.

This Racquet Hates Your Arm - Unreal Pain!Last winter, I forgot my racquets and so I used the Burn LS v5 and rather enjoyed it, so I bought a couple. I did enjoy them but when I played big hitters, I didn't get the stability I wanted or needed. I decided a logical switch would be to go from the LS to the S and that the extra .75 ounces would provide the stability I needed when playing 4.5+ big hitters. Boy, was I wrong. This was an expensive mistake since I bought two. The difference in impact to your joints between the two is unreal. If you have arm issues, stay away from this racquet.

Comments: I bought this racquet two weeks ago, used two times; strung with Wilson Synthetic Gut Power at 55Lbs. I'm a 5.0 male player. Definitely didn't meet any of the specifications on the description (except for the spin). This was the very first time buying a brand new Wilson racquet and I'm so disappointed I wasted my money. This is a very good recreational racquet.
