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.

Very nice but demanding: head-heavy, heavy and with a high, smallish sweet spot that rewards clean hits.
“Defy v1 is very nice but quite demanding: very head heavy and weight +370gr (my version). Sweetspot is high and not that big but when you hit it, it’s a bang.”
Using the Defy V1 since April: a big upgrade in power over their AT10 12K, after getting used to its smaller sweet spot.
“Been using the Defy V1 since mid April around, for me it was a big upgrade compared to the AT10 12k 2023 model which was my first racket.”
