Wilson
Editorial assessment · 2026 model
The Optix V2 Power is a soft teardrop racket for recreational and improving players. It pairs a fibreglass face with low-density Core Foam, and exact-model retailers list it at 360 g. We would compare it with the round Optix Lite if you want a softer racket and are deciding which head shape you prefer.

It identifies a teardrop model in Wilson's recreational Optix range. It does not put this racket in the same category as the firm, 370 g Defy Pro. Wilson describes Optix Power as a choice for casual players, including those with experience in other racket sports.
Choose it because you prefer its shape and feel. The listed difference from Lite is only 5 g, so individual racket weights and your added grips may matter more than that small nominal comparison. Blue and Red have the same published construction.
Consider an alternative if: Your priority is the lower weight and round shape of Lite, or you specifically want firm carbon-faced construction.
Adidas
A straightforward first racket with a round head, fibreglass face and soft EVA core. Check the 360–375 g weight range before buying. Compare its delivered price with the older Drive 3.4.
Adidas
A round Adidas for learning the game, with a fibreglass face and EVA Soft Performance core. Its 360–375 g range deserves a check if you use a light club racket. Compare the RX with the Drive before paying extra.
NOX
The NOX X-Auro 2026 is a round racket with fibreglass, HR3 EVA and a low-balance label. It is a sensible beginner candidate if a 360–375 g racket is comfortable to handle.
