Who is the Wilson Defy Pro V1 SE 2026 for?
It is for you if you finish points overhead, have a fast arm and master the smash, víbora and bandeja. The heavy frame and diamond shape reward players who are well positioned. If you are an intermediate, play on the right or want to protect your elbow, a lighter Defy or a teardrop racket will suit you better.
Strengths and things to consider
Strengths
- Punch: the heavy frame, diamond shape and 15K carbon face turn smashes into point-ending shots.
- Spin: the Spin² texture and Sharp Hole drilling bite the ball on slices, víboras and kick smashes.
- Stability: the C2 tubular construction and I-Beam reinforcement prevent twisting on hard shots off the glass.
Things to consider
- Physically demanding: the heavy frame tires you more in long matches and forces early preparation at the net.
- Little margin in defence: on lobs and wall exits it forgives less than a round or teardrop racket.
Defy Pro V1 SE 2026 compared with Defy V1 SE 2026 and Defy LS V1 SE 2026
The Defy V1 SE 2026 keeps the diamond shape, Power Foam and the Aeroexact and Spin² technologies, but uses 3K carbon and a lighter frame; Wilson lists 365 g for the standard V1 versus 370 g for the Pro. Choose it to attack with more manoeuvrability; the Pro is for maximum punch.
The Defy LS V1 SE 2026 is the light version of the family, with a lighter frame, a softer Comfort Flex face and 355 g on the standard LS according to Wilson. It suits players who value arm speed and comfort; the Defy Pro V1 SE hits harder and gets more out of the smash.

Which player uses the Wilson Defy Pro V1 SE 2026?
According to most sources, it is Javi Garrido's racket for the 2026 season. Bear in mind that Wilson notes pros often customise their rackets, so the shop version may differ slightly in weight and balance.
What is the difference between the Defy Pro V1 SE and the standard Defy Pro V1?
The SE is a special edition with a white and gold design. It shares the technical base of the Defy Pro V1: diamond shape, 15K carbon, Power Foam, heavy frame and Aeroexact, I-Beam and Spin² technologies, so on court it behaves practically the same.
