Wilson defy LS V1

The Wilson defy LS V1 is the lightest racket in the defy collection, designed for advanced and professional players looking for a combination of power, speed, and aggressive effects without compromising on maneuverability. Its diamond shape and innovative construction allow explosive blows to be generated more easily and control. Wilson specifies this racket with a tear-shaped head, a power-oriented balance, a carbon frame over a fibreglass layer, a soft EVA core and a textured face, rated for intermediate play and made in Asia. The tear shape combined with a power balance shifts the racket's mass toward the head more than a control-balanced tear shape would, which is meant to add pace to a shot at the cost of some manoeuvrability; a soft core widens the sweet spot and softens the sensation of off-centre contact compared with a harder EVA. The textured face is built to bite the ball for spin. This combination suits an intermediate player who wants extra pop without a fully stiff, advanced-level setup; a beginner may still find the power balance harder to control than a round, balanced-core racket, and an advanced player chasing precision over pace would look at a control-balanced model instead.
