Wilson technologies
Fibreglass Weave
The fibreglass construction provides a more flexible and comfortable feel than stiffer carbon fibre surfaces. It helps to increase forgiveness and makes it easier for the ball to leave the racket.
Core Foam
Low-density Core Foam is a soft core that absorbs some of the impact energy and provides a comfortable feel. This helps to achieve good ball speed with less effort, which is particularly useful in defence and during long rallies.
Sharp Hole Technology
The improved hole-drilling process helps to enhance the ball’s grip on the racket and improve accuracy across a range of shots. This allows for more effective use of spin and better control over the ball’s trajectory.
Extended Handle Length
The extended handle, approximately 14 cm long, provides greater leverage and is particularly useful for players who use a two-handed backhand. It also helps maintain a more stable grip during attacking shots.
Carbon-Reinforced Frame
Carbon reinforcement in the frame construction increases stability and helps maintain the racket’s responsiveness even during more powerful shots.
Matte Finish
The matt finish gives the Optix V2 Power Red a modern and striking look, whilst retaining Wilson’s signature sporty design.
