Wilson’s new Endure racket range
Wilson’s new Endure padel racket range adds something to the global sports brand’s line-up that’s been missing – a round shaped racket. The current line-up has the Blade (teardrop-shaped), Defy (diamond), Bela (hybrid) and entry-level Optix (teardrop), so with the Endure, Wilson now has all shape bases covered.
The three-racket range (£280 Endure Pro, £235 Endure and £190 lightweight Endure LS) is designed to offer maximum precision, in part thanks to the round racket shape, which is the one to go for if you’re after a larger, more forgiving, sweet spot.
Wilson says its R&D engineers have further upped control and precision by incorporating a raw carbon face into the rackets, coupling it with Exacttouch, a new finish that delivers a flat, textured hitting surface for increased control, touch and spin.
As with most Wilson rackets, the Endure has a longer 14cm handle (total racket length is 45.5cm), making it great for players favouring a double handed backhand or just liking the feel of more handle.
The Endure Pro (suited to advanced players) and Endure (intermediates) both weigh in at 365g. The Endure LS is 355g and suited to intermediate players wanting a lighter racket. All are considered low balance rackets with balance points of 260mm (the Endure Pro) and 255mm (Endure and Endure LS). Read more about racket balance here.
Current world No 15, Momo González, has been using a prototype Endure Pro since signing with Wilson last September. He said: “I’m very happy to be able to compete with my final racket because I personally love the design and I feel very comfortable with it.”
Wilson global padel business director, Iñaki Cabrera, said: “We are very excited about the launch of Endure, as we have designed a padel racket focused entirely on control. We are confident that players looking for a racket with these characteristics will find their best ally in Endure.”
If control is your aim on court then an Endure racket could be your perfect padel partner.
Endure is available from Wilson and leading padel retailers. 🎾
