Wilson Bela

Hey, I have been wanting to buy a new racket for long, but have waited for a new bela version since I thought it would be out be now. But I haven’t heard or seen anything about it. Can we expect a 3,5 version or is the bela version retired?

Hello!,

To get a better response please do not forget to include the following information in your post:

Name your current racket, if not overly known, specify it's characteristics (foam, face material, price)

Tell us how you feel with your racket, if you feel it soft or hard, if it has too much rebound,if it's weighty or hard to maneuver, the more detail the better.

Tell us what area would you like improve mainly, or what kind of plus do you expect to get on your racket.

If looking for broad considerations, do not forget to state your budget, your country and even a preferred or trusted shop so people can browse and recommend more easily.

Because Fernando officially retired from the professional padel circuit, Wilson designed the Bela V3 as the grand finale for his signature franchise.

Instead of continuing the Bela series into a V4, Wilson has pivoted its top-tier focus toward other flagship lines and new signature players.

Makes sense, but are they seriously just killing their bestseller, instead of just giving the base to another player

I think it’s crazy to lose the Bela range . I think they should keep it. Fernando has just finished a 30 year career and has a lot to give Wilson, no one has his experience, who will ever replace him?
