The Wilson Optix V2 Lite is Wilson’s beginner racket for practice, friendly matches and club meet-ups: round, light and forgiving, with a fiberglass face, a low-density foam core and a longer handle. At about $139, and shipped by the retailer itself rather than a small third-party seller, it is a simple, low-risk way to start.
It sits below the Optix V1 and the power-oriented Optix V2 Power in Wilson’s entry range. This review covers the build, the specs, how it should play, who should buy it and what to buy when you outgrow it.
