- Head-heavy balance – adds drive on smashes and attacking shots for aggressive players.
- Carbon fibre frame – torsional stability and durability for consistent accuracy.
- EVA foam core – absorbs impact and reduces vibration for a smoother, more comfortable hit.
- Oversized head – an enlarged sweet spot for forgiveness on off-centre hits under pressure.
- Soft-touch surface and quality grip – comfortable handling and precise control through long rallies.
- Shock Absorption Technology – dampens vibration at impact to help protect the wrist and elbow in intensive sessions.
- Standard grip size – adjustable with grip tape to tune the fit and feel.
Performance Overview
The Defy Pro V1 blends power with precision. The carbon frame stays stable through high-speed exchanges, the EVA core cushions impact over long games, and the head-heavy balance supports aggressive play from the back of the court through to finishing at the net, without losing touch on delicate placements. The oversized head and enlarged sweet spot make clean contact easier, so you hold your rhythm in fast rallies and tight matches. In use, expect steadier smashes and returns, smoother transitions to the net and less fatigue thanks to the shock absorption.
Who Is It For?
Advanced players looking for power and precision – especially attacking players who push the action from the back and finish at the net.
