What the Optix share

All four Optix versions list a fibreglass hitting surface in the shops read on 15 October 2026. Fibreglass adds flexibility and a softer feel compared with carbon, which Playtomic and HEAD say usually gives more stiffness and control.

Weights sit in a tight band, 355–365 g, and balances are 260–265 mm on the catalogue scale, so none are strongly head-heavy. Cores are EVA or Control Foam and shops rate them soft to medium.

Face: fibreglass on every listed Optix model (V1–V4).
Weight band: 355–365 g across the series.
Balance: 260–265 mm (lower to middle third of the catalogue).
Cores: EVA or Control Foam, shop ratings soft to medium.
Profile where listed: 38 mm on V2 Lite and V2 Power.

How each version differs

Shops list four Optix models by name and spec; the catalogue entries do not show production years, so distinguish versions by their names and specs. Shapes split the line: V1 and V2 Lite are round, the V2 Power entries are teardrop.

Shops assign different level and game-type labels to each model. These labels and the listed weight and balance are the practical differences between versions in the catalogue.

Wilson Optix V1 — round, 365 g, balance 265 mm, face fibreglass, core Control Foam (shop: soft), level: Beginners, game: Control.
Wilson Optix V2 Lite — round, 355 g, balance 260 mm, face fibreglass, core EVA Control (shop: soft), profile 38 mm, level: Advanced, game: Control.
Wilson Optix V2 Power · 360 g — teardrop, 360 g, balance 265 mm, face fibreglass, core EVA (shop: medium), profile 38 mm, level: Tournament, game: Power.
Wilson Optix V2 Power · 365 g — teardrop, 365 g, balance 265 mm, face fibreglass, core EVA (shop: medium), profile 38 mm, level: Tournament, game: Power.

Which Optix to pick

Use the shops' level and game-type labels to narrow choices: V1 is listed as Beginners control, V2 Lite as Advanced control, and the V2 Power variants as Tournament power rackets. Those labels come from Tennis-Point and the catalogue pages read on 15 October 2026.

HEAD and Playtomic explain shape and balance effects: round rackets suit players seeking control and a larger sweetspot, while teardrop shapes move the sweetspot higher and favour power. Try the racket finder or the compare page, and read the weight and balance guide if you need handling versus power detail.

For forgiveness and control: Wilson Optix V1 (round, soft core).
For quick handling with control: Wilson Optix V2 Lite (355 g, round).
For tournament power: Wilson Optix V2 Power (360 g or 365 g, teardrop, medium core).
See shape notes on round and teardrop pages.
