Wilson Defy Pro V1 review

Wilson Defy Pro V1 Review: Javi Garrido’s Power Racket

The Wilson Defy Pro V1 is the racket Javi Garrido uses, and the most powerful model in the Defy range. It is a diamond with a high balance, a 15K carbon face and a Power Foam core.

At 370g, this is a heavier racket than the Defy LS. The rough surface helps with spin on overheads.

Who Is It For?

The Defy Pro suits strong, advanced players who attack from the left. The weight and balance give real power but need a good swing.

Good for

  • Advanced left side attackers
  • Strong players who like a heavier racket
  • Players who want maximum power from Wilson

Not ideal for

  • Beginners and intermediates
  • Lighter players who tire with heavy rackets

On Court

The Defy Pro is powerful and stable. The 370g weight and high balance push the ball through the court on smashes.

The 15K face is firm, so you feel every contact. It is not a racket for long defensive rallies, but in attack it is excellent.
