Wilson Defyer 98 Pro V1 Tennis Racquet

Built for advanced players who want to attack with heavy spin without sacrificing control, the Wilson Defyer 98 Pro V1 combines a precise 98-square-inch head with an open 16 × 20 string pattern. Its aerodynamic construction helps the racquet accelerate quickly, while the innovative TORQ Shaft efficiently transfers energy into the hoop for penetrating pace and aggressive shot shaping.

SI3D construction pairs a more flexible hoop with a stiffer throat, creating improved ball connection while adding power and spin. The Dual Taper Beam increases stability and forgiveness during demanding baseline exchanges, while Parallel Drilling expands the sweet spot for a more consistent response.

The first-run Concept Edition features exclusive “REDLINE” detailing on the throat. It uses the same frame, specifications, and performance as the standard Defyer, but this limited design will not be reproduced after it sells out. Explore the complete
