Momo González plays with the Wilson Endure V1, says the shop listing. The same listing labels it for beginners, intermediates and advanced players alike. That is a wide net for one racket. It tells you what this is. A control-first round racket that leans on forgiveness rather than specialisation.
A pro signature on an everyone label
A pro's name on a racket usually signals a demanding frame. Here it does not. The Endure V1 is round, sits at 365 g, and carries a low balance according to the retailer listings. Those are friendly specs, not tour specs. The level label covers nearly everyone who plays padel.
There is a dedicated Wilson Endure Pro V1 Momo González in the same 2026 line, with a 3K carbon face and an advanced-only label. So if you want the stricter version of his racket, that is the one. The plain V1 is the accessible sibling.
One court test, one algorithm, and they split on power
Two reviews exist, and they are different kinds of sources. Padel.how actually played the racket and rated it 74 out of 100. It praised the quick handling, predictable directional feedback and broad sweet spot. It named one clear weakness: a limited power ceiling for finishing shots. It recommends the racket for established intermediates who prioritise placement and defensive organisation.
Padelzoom's 8.5 out of 10 comes from an algorithm that computes from specs, not from a court test. It rates control highly and calls the performance well balanced. But it flags power as positive where padel.how found it negative. That disagreement is real and worth knowing. A spec-based rating can see the 365 g weight and credit it with punch. A player on court notices something else: the foam core and low balance absorbing the smash. For a round control racket, the court test's reading is the one to trust on power.
Round, low balance, foam core: the control recipe
The build matches the intent. A round shape and low balance keep the weight near your hand. So the racket turns quickly and forgives late contact. The foam core is soft, which adds dwell time and a calmer response on off-centre hits. The face mixes carbon and fiberglass, a common middle ground between stiffness and give. The retailer specs also list a rough surface, which adds grip on the ball.
On court that translates to tidy bandejas, controlled lobs and easy depth from the back. What you give up is the free smash. With 365 g you have mass behind the ball, but the soft core and low balance soak up speed. You finish points by placing them, not by forcing them.
Wilson's product page adds its own claims. It mentions a Double Y bridge for torsional stability. It also claims an aerodynamic bridge for faster preparation. And it says the 14 cm extended handle helps two-handed backhands. The handle length appears in the retailer specs too. The rest are the brand's words, not measurements.
The balance in millimetres nobody published
The balance is listed as low, but no source publishes the figure in millimetres. The same goes for the head size and the frame thickness. The sibling LS V1 lists 255 mm. The Pro V1 lists 260 mm. That hints at where the V1 sits, but a hint is not a number. If exact balance matters to you, that gap is worth knowing before you buy.
Endure V1, LS or Pro: picking your Endure
The 2026 Endure family has three members. The Wilson Endure LS V1 drops to 355 g with a full carbon face and a comfort foam. It rates higher on comfort and maneuverability. The Pro V1 keeps 365 g, uses 3K carbon, and is aimed at advanced players only. The plain V1 sits between them. It is heavier than the LS, softer-faced than the Pro, and the only one labelled for all levels.
Round control rackets that do the same job
If you want this profile, you have options. The Dunlop Galactica OS Lite runs lighter at 355 to 365 g with a soft EVA core. It rates higher on both comfort and maneuverability. The Head Gravity Pro 2024 matches the weight and control focus but rates lower on maneuverability. The Siux Trilogy Go 4 is another round, low-balance option with high comfort. The Endure V1's case against them rests on its mixed face and the Momo González link. Not on a spec that clearly beats the field.
