Wilson Defy LS v1 Padel Racket
Lightweight, powerful, easy-to-use
When learning the game, sometimes it helps to have a speedy, powerful racket to make finishing off points more feasible. Enter: the Defy LS v1 padel racket. This lightweight and maneuverable power racket is the most accessible option within Wilson's Defy family, making it a good choice for aggressive players who are perhaps still learning the game. As such, having any kind of boost in the power department will go a long way for increasing one's ability to end the point, which is oftentimes more easier said than done in padel. The Defy LS v1 sports a diamond shape for its inherent power identity, features a lighter 355 gram weight for ease of access, and a medium-low balance of 265 mm to make handling easy for newer players. Make no mistake though, the Defy LS is viable for seasoned players looking for a lightweight power racket, especially if they prefer a slightly softer hitting surface like Wilson's Comfort Flex Face. Nearer the top of the racket's face, the hole pattern is larger, more open, which boosts power and speed through the air. Towards the handle, the other half of the Duo Grid pattern uses smaller holes to boost spin and control. Our team loved how accessible this racket was, and enjoyed its speedier nature when defending and loved its power when attacking.
