wilson padel bela
Summary

The legendary American tennis brand is back in padel with a prestigious partnership: the GOAT of padel, Fernando Belasteguin. Released in limited quantities in 2020, this collection is back at Esprit Padel Shop. If you love red and black and want to shine like Bela, Wilson is the brand for you. We’ll explain which racket to choose for your playing style and level — let’s get started! 

 

The Bela range: rackets inspired by the legend Bela. 

Wilson Bela Pro: power and elegance

We start with an attacking racket, the Bela Pro. Diamond-shaped, it is the stiffest racket in the range, offering both power and precision. You’ll need experience to master this racket, but in the right hands, it’s one of the best rackets on the circuit. Primero Carbon technology delivers excellent speed and responsiveness, while the Shield Protector provides maximum protection against vibrations in the handle and helps prevent tendinitis, particularly in the elbow. Arrow Grip on the racket faces enhances spin and helps you surprise your opponents. 

Wilson Bela Elite: a versatile racket for advanced players.

Next in the Bela family, the daughter: the Bela Elite. Softer than the Pro, this racket retains the diamond shape but offers more flexibility thanks to its hybrid carbon and fibreglass faces. A little lighter, it provides greater comfort and manoeuvrability while retaining the power that defines the range. Arrow Grip technology is also there to maximise spin. 

Wilson Bela Team: manoeuvrability in the service of performance. 

With the Bela Team, Wilson offers an easy-to-handle, versatile racket that makes every padel shot easier to play. Its fibreglass faces let you vary your shots and adapt to all types of opponent. The soft EVA foam also provides impressive playing comfort, well balanced with the power delivered by the racket’s diamond shape. Designed for intermediate and even advanced players, this racket offers particularly good value for money.

 

All Bela rackets come with a special wrist strap. As well as being padded and comfortable, it bears Bela’s words: “Un Belasteguin nunca se rinde” — “A Belasteguin never gives up.” Just the motivation you need for your big matches ahead. 

 

The Blade range: ideal rackets for players making great progress

In 2022, Wilson is launching a new collection of its top rackets: the Blade range. Used by some of padel’s biggest stars, including France’s number one and world number 19, Alix Collombon, these rackets are the result of major innovations by the American brand — and the 2022 collection is no exception. 

The Wilson Blade Elite V2, already available at Esprit Padel Shop, is a teardrop-shaped racket with faces made from a carbon and fibreglass blend, giving it control and comfort on contact with the ball. Designed for advanced players, it is among the best versatile rackets on the market. 

The other rackets in the range, the Blade Pro and Blade Team, differ significantly from the Elite. We’ll introduce them when they launch later this year, so stay tuned! 

 

The Pro Staff range: accessible and comfortable, helping you improve with confidence. 

Roger Federer uses the Pro Staff range for tennis — impressive, isn’t it? In padel, this range prioritises control to give your shots pinpoint precision. 

Wilson Pro Staff Elite: the balance–effectiveness combo

The Pro Staff Elite is a balanced, versatile racket, but it differs notably from the Bela Team. While the Bela Team’s diamond shape provided power, the Pro Staff Elite gets its explosiveness from Power Foam and Sharpe Hole technology, whose unique drilling pattern boosts power. Its round shape gives the racket balance, a softer feel and comfort, making it versatile. 

Wilson Pro Staff Team: an easy-to-handle, accessible racket. 

Finally, Wilson offers an accessible racket for beginners and intermediate players who want to improve at their own pace. With its round shape and fibreglass frame, this racket is stable and responsive, helping you avoid errors and build confidence in your game. Finished in striking bright red, it has smooth faces that favour flat shots — ideal for beginners. 

A Sublime Grip is included with every Wilson Pro Staff purchase. This soft, comfortable overgrip absorbs sweat effectively thanks to its micro-perforations. 

 

The Ultra range: versatility for everyone. 

Wilson Ultra Pro V2: precision for experienced players. 

Wilson’s Ultra range focuses on versatile rackets that let players of all levels perform while enjoying themselves. The Pro is no exception: its carbon fibre faces provide power and responsiveness, while the foam helps you maintain control over your shots. Designed for advanced players, this racket will help you take charge against your opponent. 

Wilson Ultra Elite V2: one of Wilson’s best-value rackets. 

Like the Pro, this teardrop-shaped racket is versatile and easy to use. Designed for intermediate players, it offers extra comfort on impact, particularly thanks to a more forgiving sweet spot. It still delivers power through its Power Pillar core, making it a well-rounded racket for every playing situation. 

Wilson Ultra Team V2: a gentle introduction with plenty of control. 

Easy to use and affordable, the Wilson Ultra Team is accessible to any player looking to improve quickly. Its teardrop shape and enhanced comfort help beginners get to grips with padel and learn its shots with ease. Like the other rackets in the Ultra range, its black-and-blue colour scheme looks great and pairs perfectly with all your padel outfits.

  

As you’ve seen, this Wilson collection has rackets for every level. Elegant and equipped with everything a padel player looks for, they’re ready for the court. So what are you waiting for? Play like Bela!
