Wilson Burn 95 Countervail - Any feedback from JP model?

[leejayh]

Really excited about the new 95 Countervail - but can't find data on the flex? Could be a great model for a little customization in weighing as well.

Here is what I have found out there thus far:
95sq, 27.25 in, 309gms (10.9oz), 325 mm bal (7pts HL), 22mm straight beam, 16x20

Sorry if this repeats some of what is our there in different threads.

Had approximately an hour or so with this racquet a couple of days ago and was very pleasantly surprised. Not a huge Wilson fan, but I found it incredibly comfortable (if I had to guess it felt like the flex was in low 60s, though I know that's got more to do with the flex profile than the RDC number) with great feedback.

It feels very solid, has a good swingweight out of the box (again I don't have the number but if I had to guess it's probably 330-335), comes around quickly enough, and most of all I was very impressed by how well it pocketed the ball. Will be trying it again a few times this week, but it's a great player's frame.

TennisD - that is super encouraging. I was hoping that the flex was in the low to mid 60's (62-65) - and that it could come around quickly. I typically play with my RF97 but that can get tiring after a while (after I am done with it, it is around 13.15 oz. I am hoping for a vibration fee players frame.

What strings did the one you tried have in it?

What do you guys think of the extended length of the burn 95? is the .25 in negligible ?

What string did you use? Have you hit with a Wilson 6.1 95? Can you provide some comparisons if so?

you notice the .25 going between racquets that are the standard 27 back and fourth, but you compensate quickly from using an extended racquet and don't think about it when using one.

Alright, quick notes:

- This was strung with a Tourna Big Hitter in the mains and Wilson NXT in the crosses at 54 lbs all around, so it's a pretty soft setup.
- You don't really notice the extra .25 inch; if anything you simply notice that the racquet has a bit of heft to it, but still swings fast
- I was never a huge fan of the 6.1 95 in any of its many incarnations (always more of a Head guy), but comparatively this feels less crisp and much more "buttery"; it's a tough comparison to make, but immediately this feels more like something from a classic Head mold (PT630) than most Wilsons that I've ever tried.
- Really easy power, and when you think you've overhit the ball it seems to drop down into the court quite well, provided you got enough wrist on it in the first place.

Sweet! I'm currently going between my Burn95 and Prestige MP.

Awesome feedback, makes me feel inclined to try the burn
