Please be more specific. A hesitation in shifting can mean a few different things.
Hesitation after hitting the paddle? Hesitation near redline? Hesitation between gears?

So, you're not touching any transmission inputs at all, and as it shifts during WOT, it "hesitates."
By "Hesitates," does it just take a second to shift or does it lag and thrust the car forward?
Not trying to pry, I just want to figure out your situation in case someone else happens to know something off the bat.

When the car reaches the factory default shift point there is a momentary lag/hesitation after it shifts, almost like you are driving a manual trans and "speed shifting" (lifting off the throttle while changing gears) instead of power shifting (not lifting between gear selections)

What year R? How many miles? Have the dealer reflash it. It shouldn't do that. Get a trans tune.
'18 R. 10,000 miles. Dealer reflash was my thoughts also. Thanks for the input.

I have this behavior with my '15 R, 25k miles. Indeed it feels like a manual transmission when shifting into second gear. Interestingly there was no change in behavior when I installed Eurodyne engine and DSG software. I've done some logging with VCDS but nothing odd has shown up--there are a lot of parameters to look through

I would get the DSG tuned.

Are you tuned? I have been in talks with APR where when I hit the redline, it momentarily seems like it is "winding down" and then it shifts to the next gear. Turns out, the R comes with a "soft limiter", not like a hard limiter where it pi-pi-pi-pings until you change.
