Wilson Bela pro V3

The racket chosen by Fernando Belasteguín, the Bela pro V3 , has been designed for offensive players looking to hit with maximum power, precision and regularity. Developed in collaboration with the legendary former world number 1, this racket puts in your hands the level of performance that high-level padel demands. This racket has a teardrop head and a power balance, a pairing that moves swingweight further toward the tip than a round head at the same balance point, favouring pace on flat shots over the largest sweet spot. The frame is carbon with a hard EVA core, a stiffer combination that returns more energy per hit and gives less forgiveness on off-centre contact than a soft core would. The face is listed as rough, which increases the ball's spin on contact rather than its pace. Wilson lists an 18K carbon flat surface and rates the racket for advanced players, consistent with a stiff, power-oriented setup that punishes mishits. A player still building consistent contact, or one who wants a forgiving, control-oriented frame, is better served by a round-head, soft-core racket instead.
