Is it your racket?
We'd rather you buy the right one than this one.
You'll love it if
- you're new to padel
- you want a soft, forgiving racket that's easy on the arm
- you'd rather keep the ball in play than hit winners
Maybe not if
- you already play regularly and want more punch, look at a carbon racket
- you want something lighter, try the Optix V2 Lite
The Wilson Optix V1 is a proper first racket. Round shape, a soft fibreglass face and a soft foam core, so the ball comes off easily without you needing a big swing, and off-centre hits still go somewhere useful.
The balance sits in the middle, which keeps it easy to move at the net and forgiving when you're defending off the glass. It's not trying to win you points with power. It's there to help you keep the ball in, learn the shots and enjoy it.
If you're new to padel, or buying a racket for someone who is, it's a lot of racket for the money. Black with the big white Wilson W.
- Round shape, big forgiving sweet spot
- Fibreglass face, smooth surface, soft feel
- Soft foam core, 38mm profile
- 360 to 375g, medium balance
