Wilson Defy LS V1 review

Wilson Defy LS V1 Review: A Light Diamond for Attackers

The Wilson Defy LS V1 is the lighter version of the Wilson Defy, a diamond racket built for power and speed. At around 355g, it is easier to swing than most attacking rackets.

Wilson pairs a Power Foam core with its Comfort Flex Face, a flexible fibreglass face designed to add feel and reduce vibration. The balance is towards the head.

How It Plays

The Defy LS is quick for a diamond. The light weight helps you react at the net, and the head heavy balance still adds pace to smashes.

The fibreglass face is more forgiving than a stiff carbon one, so off centre hits are less punishing. It does not have the raw power of the heavier Defy, but it is easier to use for longer.
