Pick the Optix V1 2024 if
- You want to spend less: it is £11 cheaper delivered today (£57.99 against £68.99).
- You want more control and a bigger sweet spot: a round head is more forgiving on off-centre hits.
- You want the more forgiving of the two: the brand pitches it at newer players, so it asks less of your technique.
Pick the Optix V2 Power 2026 if
- You want more power: a teardrop head puts the sweet spot higher, which helps smashes and volleys.
- You already hit the ball cleanly: the brand pitches it at improving players.
- You want the current model (2026).
Not a factor, because they are the same on both: balance (both medium), feel (both soft), weight.
