The Defy V1 is Wilson's diamond racket for attack: 365 g and a high balance put the centre of gravity in the head and give overhead shots pressure. The 3K carbon hitting face feels firm and stable, and the Power Foam core supports the ball exit and damps hard hits. I-Beam technology stiffens the frame, and the rough surface helps with spin.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. 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 5 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 3.3 out of 10, it remains demanding, but it is more forgiving than 62% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 5 versions of the Wilson Defy in our comparison, this is the cheapest (€127.56). 12 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €127.56 to €270 – a €142 difference for the same model.
Intermediate players with an attacking style who want to win a lot of points with smashes.

Our classification: Intermediate. Its forgiveness is 3.3 out of 10 – demanding, needs clean technique.
The Wilson Defy V1 2025 weighs 365 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a medium-hard core (Power Foam). The frame is made of Carbon 3K.
Not by our rule: the core is medium-hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards, 365 g is above 360 g. 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. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
