Rank #8 in Best Tennis Rackets 2026: 9 Ranked, and Why the 'Pair' Count Misleads
Wilson Fusion XL Tennis Racket
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Wilson Fusion XL is an aluminium tennis racket aimed at inexperienced and recreational players, priced at £35.00 and rated 4.4 out of 5 from 302 ratings. It takes the #8 slot in this guide. The reason it is worth a page of its own is weight: the title calls it a 291 g racket and the bullet repeats 291 g, while the Item Weight field in the same listing says 70 g. Both numbers are printed on the product page; they cannot both describe the same racket.
The rest of the Wilson listing is consistent enough. It gives a 723 cm² head for easier power generation, a 69.9 cm length described as extra long for more reach, a head-light (grip-heavy) balance, and a 16x19 stringing pattern. It arrives strung. On contents, the Included Components field reads '1 x Fusion Xl Red Unisex' and the Unit Count is 1.0 count — one racket, not a set, which matters in a guide where the word 'pair' does a lot of misleading. Everything on this page — the price, the rating, the weight figures and the contents — is taken from the Amazon listing rather than measured or tested by us.
How those 302 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.

Questions people ask
Is the Wilson Fusion XL suitable for a beginner?
Yes. The Wilson listing describes it as an excellent choice for inexperienced and recreational players, and the Skill Level field reads 'Beginner'. It is also sold as an adult racket.
How heavy is the Wilson Fusion XL?
The listing gives two answers. The title and the final bullet both say 291 g, while the Item Weight field says 70 g. We have not weighed it, so we cannot say which figure is right.
Does the Wilson Fusion XL arrive strung?
Yes. The bullet reads 'Strings included' and the contents line describes the Wilson Tennis Racket Fusion XL as strung.
How many rackets do you get?
One. The Included Components field lists '1 x Fusion Xl Red Unisex' and Unit Count is 1.0 count, so this is a single Wilson racket rather than a set.
What grip size does the Wilson Fusion XL come in?
The listing states Grip Size 2, which the specifications expand to 4 1/4 inches.
What head size and length does the Wilson Fusion XL have?
A 723 cm² head and a 69.9 cm length. The listing calls the head extra large for easier power generation and the length extra long for more reach and better court coverage.
