What the series shares
Every Wilson Defy listed in the catalogue uses a Power Foam core and is shown as diamond-shaped on shop pages. Where the balance is given it is 265 mm, which falls in the catalogue’s middle third for balance points.
Faces where specified are carbon variants (Carbon Flex, 3K, 15K). Shops rate the series for higher playing levels — Advanced or Tournament — and list the game types as Allround or Power.
- Core: Power Foam on every listed model (shop product pages).
- Shape: diamond for all versions — see the Wilson brand page.
- Balance reported where given: 265 mm (catalogue middle third).
- Faces listed: Carbon Flex, 3K carbon, 15K carbon.
How the versions differ
Three Defy models have full specs on the shop pages and show distinct weights and carbon faces. The LS V1 is 355 g with a Carbon Flex face; the V1 is 365 g with a 3K face; the Pro V1 is 370 g with a 15K face, all listed with a 265 mm balance (Tennis-Point).
Two Padel Market listings use the names PRO V1 Padel 2 2025 and V1 Padel 2 2025 and list Power Foam cores plus Tournament/Power ratings but omit weight and balance on their pages. Shops include the model year in the product title inconsistently, so check the name for ‘2025’.
- Wilson Defy LS V1 — diamond, 355 g, 265 mm, Carbon Flex face; shop level Advanced, game Allround (Tennis-Point).
- Wilson Defy V1 — diamond, 365 g, 265 mm, 3K carbon face; shop level Advanced, game Allround (Tennis-Point).
- Wilson Defy Pro V1 — diamond, 370 g, 265 mm, 15K carbon face; shop level Tournament, game Power (Tennis-Point).
- Padel Market entries (2025) show Power Foam and Tournament/Power but lack weight and balance details.
Which version suits which player
Tennis-Point rates the Pro V1 as Tournament/Power; under HEAD and Playtomic guidance a diamond shape with higher weight suits advanced attacking players who prioritise power. The Pro V1’s 370 g and 15K carbon face fit that shop rating.
The LS V1 (355 g) and the V1 (365 g) are lighter and listed as Advanced with an Allround game type. Use the racket finder to match weight and balance, and the comparison tool to view Defy versions side by side; for shape context see diamond rackets, as HEAD explains diamond shapes add power and position the sweet spot nearer the tip.
- If a shop rates a model Tournament/Power, it aligns with attacking, experienced players (Tennis-Point).
- If you prefer more manageability, choose the lighter LS V1 by weight as listed.
Questions
Are Wilson Defy rackets suitable for beginners?
Shops rate the Defy models Advanced or Tournament rather than Beginner. HEAD and Playtomic note diamond shapes favour power and have a smaller sweetspot, so these models are less forgiving for new players.
What is the Power Foam core?
Power Foam is the core named on every Defy product page in the catalogue. Tennis-Point rates the core hard for the fully specified versions, matching the series’ power-focused setup.
What faces do Defy rackets use?
Where shops list a face, the Defy uses carbon variants: Carbon Flex, 3K and 15K carbon on the three fully specified models. HEAD says carbon faces add stiffness, extra control and durability.
How can I tell if a Defy listing is a 2025 model?
Shops commonly include the model year in the product title — for example ‘2025’ appears in some listings. The catalogue notes three of the five versions carry no year in the name, so check the product title to confirm the model year.
