Wilson Endure 2026 Range Review

Wilson Endure 2026 Range Review

Not everyone wants the most expensive racket — some players want one that lasts. The Wilson Endure 2026 range is built for durability first, with reinforced frames and robust construction that survive the bumps, scrapes, and accidental wall hits that are part of padel life. This review covers the full range.

The Endure Philosophy

Wilson designed the Endure range to answer a common complaint: premium padel rackets are fragile. One hard hit against the glass can crack a £250 racket. The Endure range uses reinforced frame protection, tougher surface materials, and denser cores to extend racket lifespan significantly.

Models in the Range

Endure Elite (Teardrop, £120-150)

The top of the Endure line. Teardrop shape with carbon frame and reinforced bumper guard. Offers the best performance-to-durability balance.

• Power: 7/10

• Durability: 9/10

Endure Pro (Round, £100-130)

Round shape with fibreglass face and extra-thick frame protection. The most durable option with good control characteristics.

Endure Lite (Round, £80-100)

The entry-level Endure. Lightweight, durable, and affordable. Perfect for beginners who are still learning not to hit the walls.

• Frame: No cracks, minor cosmetic scuffing only
