As the most control-oriented member of the Defyer family, this racket will keep your most powerful strokes on target.
Introducing the Defyer 98 Pro! Ideal for intermediate and advanced players, this 323 gram racket packs a speedy sub-320 swingweight, giving it explosive acceleration from the baseline and quick handling at net. It also features the smallest head size, thinnest beam, and tightest string pattern in the Defyer family, creating a level of control that will enable aggressive players to take huge, fearless cuts at the ball. Although engineered for spin, the Defyer 98 Pro delivers a slightly lower launch angle than the other models, which is ideal for those who like driving the ball through the court. Under the hood, this racket benefits from Wilson's revolutionary bending technology, creating a flex profile that rewards sharply angled swings with greater pocketing and ball rotation. It also comes with an Airfoil Bumper that reduces wind drag for easier acceleration. Factor in the speedy swingweight, and you have the recipe for near effortless spin. Additional features include a Torque Shaft that reduces frame flutter and dead zones on off-center impact (think big sweetspot). The 98 Pro also comes with Wilson's Direct Connect handle technology, which produces a more connected feel through impact. Ultimately, Wilson has produced a versatile weapon for experienced players, one that combines raw speed and spin-friendly targeting with enough precision to swing big and target the lines.
