The Bela V3 2025 standard is the accessible version of Bela's signature - same teardrop, standard carbon instead of Braid, EUR 200. For intermediate players who aspire to Bela's technique, this is the right entry point.
Who should buy the Wilson Bela V3 2025?
The Bela V3 2025 is a teardrop-shaped racket weighing 355 to 370g, built around a carbon face and an EVA core. It is the accessible version of Fernando Belasteguin's signature - the same teardrop with standard carbon instead of Braid.
Buy it if you're an intermediate-to-advanced player who wants Bela's signature at an accessible price. Skip it if you're a beginner or anyone wanting arm comfort above performance.
How does the Bela V3 play?
Standard carbon at its price delivers solid performance. The teardrop shape is forgiving enough for intermediate players while the Bela signature reflects genuine technical positioning. For intermediate players who aspire to Bela's precise, intelligent game, it is the right entry point.
It is a well-balanced choice that shares the Pro V1's shape philosophy at a lower cost.
What is it made of?
The carbon face delivers solid performance with reliable Wilson quality, paired with an EVA core, in the same teardrop shape as the Pro - but with standard carbon instead of the Pro's Braid carbon. That is a noticeable step down in refinement, but appropriate for the accessible price.
How does it compare to the Bela Pro V3 and its rivals?
The standard carbon versus the Pro's Braid carbon is a noticeable step down - advanced players should invest the small difference for the Pro V1. At its price it competes with the Adidas Metalbone Team and Babolat Counter Veron 25 - the Wilson has better brand heritage for this signature; the Adidas has more power.
Final verdict
The Bela V3 2025 makes Bela's signature accessible, with good all-round teardrop performance for intermediate-to-advanced players, the same shape philosophy as the Pro at lower cost, and reliable Wilson quality. The standard carbon versus the Pro's Braid is a noticeable step down, it is not the most powerful at its price, and advanced players should invest the small difference for the Pro V1. For intermediate players it is well-judged. For anyone else, the trade-offs noted above outweigh the upsides.
