In shortPlayers mostly like the control and power of the Wilson Defy V1 2025, with a dry touch. Some say it is head-heavy and demanding, with a smallish sweet spot that rewards clean hits.

After about five games adjusting from a Vertex Hybrid, very pleased with the Defy V1: strong in attack and defence, dry touch and good control, though it demands good technique.
“Coming from a Bullpadel Vertex Hybrid which is more control oriented it took me approx. 5 games to get used to. But now I'm very pleased with the racket.”
