Who this racket is for
The Wilson Defy LS V1 2025 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its diamond shape moves the sweet spot to the top of the face, giving more leverage and power at the cost of some tolerance. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
