Who should buy the Wilson Bela Pro V3 2025?

The Bela Pro V3 2025 is a teardrop-shaped racket weighing 358 to 374g, built around a Braid Carbon construction and an EVA core. It is Fernando Belasteguin's signature frame - the most decorated padel player in history - with engineering reflecting his balanced, intelligent game.

If you're an advanced player who wants Bela's premium pro teardrop, this is the right racket. If you're arm-sensitive or below advanced level, look elsewhere.

How does the Bela Pro V3 play?

Braid carbon in teardrop format produces exceptional touch and control without sacrificing pace on driving shots. Bela's game is built on precision, positioning and tactical intelligence - this frame suits that approach exactly, with an outstanding balance of power and control for a teardrop.

It is the best pro teardrop at its price point, though Bela's high technique requirements translate to the frame.

What is it made of?

The Braid Carbon construction produces exceptional touch and control in a teardrop format, paired with an EVA core. It has the best construction quality at its price in this review set - comparable alternatives offer less refinement. The carbon is still hard on the arm for sensitive.

How does it compare to the standard Bela V3?

The Pro V3 uses Braid carbon for exceptional touch and control, while the standard Bela V3 uses standard carbon at a lower price - a noticeable step down in construction. For advanced players who want the full pro refinement, the Pro is worth the difference.

Final verdict

The Bela Pro V3 2025 is the best pro teardrop at its price point and highly recommended, with Braid carbon and Bela's legendary signature, an exceptional balance of power and control, and the best construction quality at its price in this review set. It is not a power-first frame (attackers should look at diamond options), the carbon is still hard on the arm for sensitive players, and Bela's high technique requirements translate to the frame. Advanced precision player get the most out of it. Other players should choose from the alternatives noted above.
