The Wilson Optix V2 Power is the attacking half of Wilson’s value-focused Optix V2 line — a ~360g diamond with a carbon-reinforced fibreglass face and a high balance, built for intermediate-to-advanced players who want diamond-shape power without a flagship price.
The Optix is Wilson’s accessible performance line, and the V2 Power is its aggressive, diamond-shaped option — a step up from the original Optix V1 and the lighter Optix V2 Lite. The carbon-reinforced fibreglass face and high-density foam core aim to deliver real attacking pop while keeping the strike comfortable and the price sensible.
This review covers its build, specs and on-court feel, and who it’s for. See also our best Wilson padel rackets guide, or browse all our padel gear reviews.

Our review of the Wilson Optix V2 Power
The Optix V2 Power does what its name promises. The diamond head and high balance load the top of the frame, so smashes come off flat and fast, and the stiff face transfers energy efficiently for a penetrating, attacking ball. For a value-line racket it punches well above its price on pace.
The trade-off is the usual diamond story: a relatively compact sweet spot that makes block returns harder when you’re stretched. It rewards clean contact, so it’s best suited to an attacking intermediate who’s confident at the net rather than a beginner.
Pros
- Genuine diamond-shape power
- Stiff, penetrating smash
- Great value for a power frame
- Comfortable foam core
Cons
- Compact, demanding sweet spot
- Not built for defence
- Fibreglass face less crisp than full carbon
Who is the Wilson Optix V2 Power for?
The Optix V2 Power is for attacking intermediate-to-advanced players who want diamond-shape pace on a budget. If you want more forgiveness, the Optix V1 is gentler; see our advanced guide for the step up.
How the Wilson Optix V2 Power plays
On smashes it’s the highlight — flat, fast and penetrating from the high-balance diamond.
On defence the compact sweet spot asks for cleaner contact; placement under pressure is harder than on a round frame.
Wilson Optix V2 Power vs the alternatives
It’s the aggressive, power sibling of the more forgiving Wilson Optix V1, and a budget-friendly alternative to the pro-level Wilson Carbon Force. Against the control-first Bela Pro V3 it trades touch for raw power.
Is the Wilson Optix V2 Power worth it?
For an attacking player who wants diamond power without paying flagship money, the Optix V2 Power is excellent value — you get genuine put-away pace and a comfortable core at a mid-budget price. Control and defence-first players should look elsewhere in the range.
Conclusion
The Wilson Optix V2 Power is a lot of diamond-shape power for the money — stiff, high-balance and built to finish points, with a foam core that keeps it comfortable. The sweet spot is demanding, as with any diamond, so it suits a confident attacking intermediate rather than a beginner. As a value power frame, it’s one of the better picks around.
