[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Wilson Endure V1 is a round, low-balance control racket with a foam core. Shops link it to Momo González, yet label it for beginners through advanced players. Control and sweet spot are its strengths on paper; power is the weak point, and the two published reviews disagree about how weak. The balance in millimetres is not published. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 27 September 2026 Choose it if - you build points with placement and defend from the back glass - you want a forgiving round racket that works from your first years upward - you play two-handed backhands and like a 14 cm extended handle Skip it if - you finish points with smashes and want a high power ceiling - you want the lightest, quickest option, so look at the Wilson Endure LS V1 instead - you prefer a softer, more comfortable EVA core, so try the Dunlop Galactica OS Lite ## How it plays 8.7 **padell.io score 8.7** Play 9.1 (60%) and reviews 8.2 (40%).

Checked every night. ## What reviewers say Two sources cover the Endure V1, and only one played it. Padel.how tested it on court and gave 74 out of 100, praising the quick handling, predictable feedback and broad sweet spot, with a limited power ceiling as the one real con. Padelzoom's 8.5 out of 10 is computed from specs, not played, and it rates control at 9.00 while judging power positively. They agree on control and sweet spot. They split on power: the algorithm credits the 365 g weight, the court test says the foam core and low balance cap your finishing shots. For a racket like this, the played review's caution on power carries more weight. [**padel.how** 7.4 Best for Established intermediate players prioritizing placement and defensive organization Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/wilson-endure-v1-2026-review/) 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](https://padell.io/compare/wilson-endure-pro-v1-momo-gonzalez-vs-wilson-endure-v1/) 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](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) 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](https://padell.io/brands/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](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/endure-ls-v1/) lists 255 mm. The [Pro V1](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/defy-pro-v1-2025/) 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. The Endure family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro V1 Momo González**](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/endure-pro-v1-momo-gonzalez/) [**LS V1**](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/endure-ls-v1/) **V1** ## Endure V1, LS or Pro: picking your Endure The 2026 Endure family has three members. The [Wilson Endure LS V1](https://padell.io/rackets/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](https://padell.io/rackets/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](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-pro-2024/) matches the weight and control focus but rates lower on maneuverability. The [Siux Trilogy Go 4](https://padell.io/rackets/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.

There is also a dedicated Endure Pro V1 Momo González in the same 2026 line, aimed at advanced players with a 3K carbon face. **Is the Wilson Endure V1 good for beginners?** The retailer label covers beginner, intermediate and advanced. The round shape, low balance and soft foam core make it forgiving, so on paper it suits a beginner, though 365 g is not light. **What is the difference between the Endure V1 and the Endure LS V1?** The LS V1 is lighter at 355 g, uses a full carbon face and comfort foam, and lists a 255 mm balance. It rates higher on comfort and maneuverability than the V1. **Does the Wilson Endure V1 have enough power for attacking play?** Power is its weak point. Padel.how's court test found a limited power ceiling for finishing shots, so if you win points with smashes, a round low-balance racket like this will ask you to finish with placement instead. **Is the Endure V1 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours.
