Wilson Defy v1 Padel Racket
Middleweight with excellent power and handling capability
When looking to maneuver your opponents around the padel court with pace, it helps to have a quick, and powerful racket working alongside you, like Wilson's Defy v1. The racket's weight is just under the top of the threshold, coming in around 365 grams, making it faster and easier to swing than its heavier sibling, the Defy Pro v1. In addition to its diamond-shaped profile, the racket utilizes a medium-low balance of 265 mm for powering through overheads seamlessly and defending off the back wall with ease. For such a power-based experience, the Defy v1 has surprisingly good touch and spin capabilities, making lobs and volleys more than doable, largely boosted by its 3K Carbon Face and Spin² Texture. Nearer the top of the racket's face, the hole pattern is larger, more open, which boosts power and speed through the air. Towards the handle, the other half of the Duo Grid pattern uses smaller holes to boost spin and control. Our team found this racket excels on overheads (naturally), volleys consistently well, and helps out when looking to add speed to one's serve. For fans of faster-swinging diamond padel rackets, the Defy v1 is a great option for intermediate and advanced players.
