The Endure V1 2026 takes the Endure Pro's Braid carbon and applies it to a teardrop shape - more versatile than the diamond Pro but maintaining the same construction quality. At EUR 270 it is EUR 50 less than the Pro version.
Who should buy the Wilson Endure V1 2026?
The Endure V1 2026 is a teardrop-shaped racket weighing 358 to 374g, built around a Braid Carbon construction and an EVA core. It takes the Endure Pro's Braid carbon into a teardrop shape - more versatile than the diamond Pro but with the same construction quality.
Built for an advanced player who wants Endure pro performance in a versatile teardrop. Not for arm-sensitive or below advanced level.
How does the Endure V1 play?
For advanced players who want Endure-level construction without committing to a full attack diamond, this is the best value frame in Wilson's 2026 lineup. Braid carbon in a teardrop delivers an excellent power-and-control balance, transitioning between net and baseline.
It gives up slightly less outright power than the diamond Pro V1 in exchange for genuine all-court versatility.
What is it made of?
The Braid Carbon construction is shared with the Endure Pro, paired with an EVA core, in a teardrop shape. It has the best construction-to-versatility ratio in the Wilson lineup - but the Braid carbon still vibrates, so it is not for arm sensitivity.
How does it compare to its rivals and the Pro?
At its price it competes with the Babolat Viper Soft 30 and Nox EA10 Ventus Attack - the Wilson has better versatility than the Nox (teardrop versus diamond) and better power than the Babolat. Versus the Endure Pro V1, it costs less with minimal performance sacrifice for most players.
Final verdict
The Endure V1 2026 has the best construction-to-versatility ratio in the Wilson lineup - Braid carbon in a teardrop, at a lower price than the Pro V1 with minimal performance sacrifice for most players, and an excellent power-and-control balance. It is not for arm-sensitive players (the Braid carbon still vibrates), has slightly less outright power than the diamond Pro V1, and advanced competitive players may prefer the Pro. For advanced all-court player it is well-judged. For anyone else, the trade-offs noted above outweigh the upsides.
