Wilson Optix V2 Lite Padel Racket (2026)

Optix is Wilson's entry range, V2 is its second version and Lite is the light round model. Padelful lists a fibreglass weave face over a Core Foam core with a soft feel, and one retailer sheet seen in search results gives a round shape, a 355 g weight, a smooth surface and a low-density foam core. We found no Wilson UK page to confirm those figures, so we state them as seller specifications.

Do not mix it up with the teardrop Optix Power V2. The Lite is round and aimed at comfort, and the Power is a teardrop with a bit more attacking intent.

Padelful's pros are quick hands in net exchanges, a forgiving sweet spot on volleys and easy ball exit on defensive lobs. It calls the racket light and safety-first, with cushioned contact, which is exactly what a new player or a returning one with a tender arm wants.

The ceiling is low and Padelful says so. Smashes lack finishing punch, the racket is unstable against heavy incoming balls and there is limited bite on the víbora. Once you play every week, you will probably want more power.

Of Wilson's entry rackets, the Optix pair have independent scores, and the Wilson Match Point and Blade Power rely on single stockist listings. For a step up with soft carbon, see the Wilson Carbon Force, and for a light, soft teardrop with a published specification, the Blade LS V4. Other brands' round starters are on our control padel racket page.

Anyone who wants to attack, and anyone who plans to play often for more than a season. Padelful's own cons are weak smashes and instability against heavy balls. Our beginner padel rackets page compares the starters, and our intermediate padel rackets page covers the next step.
