Teardrop: Wilson Optix V2 Power Blue 2026
Wilson has 29 teardrop models. This shape suits the largest number of club players, because it gives some power without shrinking the sweet spot. Our current pick from the range is the Wilson Optix V2 Power Blue 2026, at around €130.
Diamond: Wilson Bela Pro V3 2025
Wilson has 22 diamond models. This shape suits advanced attacking players who finish points with the smash and hit the middle of the strings consistently. Our current pick from the range is the Wilson Bela Pro V3 2025, at around €310.
HOW TO CHOOSE
Buying a Wilson
without buying the wrong one
Brand is the last thing that should decide a padel racket, and the first thing most people decide. Once you are inside a range, three specs settle the question.
Shape decides forgiveness
Round puts the sweet spot in the middle of the face where you actually hit the ball. Diamond moves it up towards the tip, which buys power and costs you every off-centre shot. Teardrop sits between the two and is the right answer for most club players. Wilson covers round, teardrop, diamond, so you do not need to leave the brand to change shape.
Core decides comfort
Soft cores hold the ball longer, forgive a slow swing and transmit less shock to the elbow. Hard EVA cores are more powerful and more precise but punish poor timing. If you have ever had tennis elbow, this single spec matters more than shape, weight and brand combined.
Your side matters more than your level
The left side finishes points and usually wants a higher balance. The right side builds points and covers the middle, so it usually wants a larger sweet spot. Two players of the same level on opposite sides should not buy the same racket.
Then let the data narrow it
The ratings in the table above are the fastest filter: if you want control, read down the control column and ignore the badge. Our racket finder does this across all 1,418 rackets in seven questions, and if you have run a match analysis it uses your real technique scores instead of your own estimate of your level.
FAQ
Questions about
Wilson rackets
What racket does Fernando Belasteguín use?
The Wilson Bela line, which is named after him and has run through many generations. Bela is the most successful player in padel history, and the line has generally favoured control and feel over raw power.
Is the Wilson Bela good for intermediate players?
The teardrop variants are a reasonable fit for a solid intermediate, particularly the control-leaning versions. The diamond variants are a step up in difficulty and are better suited above 4.5.
Are Wilson padel rackets any good?
The build quality is consistently high, which is what you would expect from a company that has made racket sports equipment for a century. The padel catalogue is smaller and updated less aggressively than Bullpadel or Siux, so there is less choice, but the frames themselves are sound.
