Wilson is the American sports brand, founded in 1914 in Chicago and part of Amer Sports. Its padel range is split into clear series, each with its own character.
Defy and Bela are the attackers. Defy is all diamond, with the most power. Bela is mostly teardrop and a little more balanced. Blade is the teardrop in the middle between power and control. Endure is round and built for control, with a signature model for Momo González. Optix is the easy way in: fibreglass, round or teardrop, soft on the arm.
On padell.io Wilson rackets rate fairly high on comfort, and prices sit in the middle of the market. In most series the LS version rates higher on comfort than the standard model.
