Who is the Defy V1 for?
For advanced players who enjoy attacking at the net and want a diamond racket that is a little easier to live with than the Pro. If you want the most weight and 15K carbon, the Defy Pro V1 is the pick; if you prefer a lighter racket with a glass fibre face, look at the Defy LS V1.
Strengths
- Attack: a diamond shape and high balance built for smashing.
- 3K carbon face: as specified on Wilson's product page for this model.
- Aerodynamics and spin: Aeroexact design and the Spin2 rough texture.
Things to consider
- The high balance and diamond shape call for technique; it is not for beginners.
