Our impression
The Defy LS V1 SE is Wilson's light Special Edition diamond shape: the Comfort Flex face (carbon + fibreglass) forgives off-centre hits, while the firm Power Foam core delivers dynamic ball speed. At around 355 g it stays handy despite its attacking orientation – clearly tuned for net play and overheads.
At 355 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 8 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 3.5 out of 10, it remains demanding, but it is more forgiving than 66% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 5 versions of the Wilson Defy in our comparison, this is the lightest (355 g). 11 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €149.56 to €350 – a €200 difference for the same model.

Is the Wilson Defy LS V1 SE 2026 arm-friendly?
Not by our rule: the core is medium-hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most.
