Version · 3 optionsDefyer 100 V1Change

The 100 in² version of Wilson's new Defyer line, at 300 g unstrung and 318 g strung, with a 16x19 pattern and a swingweight that is high for the weight, at 326. The balance of 6 pts head-light keeps handling quick and the mass in the head helps add weight to the ball. The 66 RA stiffness and the 23.8 to 25 mm beam deliver ball output balanced between power and control. It generates a lot of spin, but responds better to flatter, fuller strokes than to pure power racquets.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
