With the Bela MAX, Wilson pairs a teardrop shape with medium balance, placing the racket between a control model and an attacking one. The teardrop shape puts more pressure into shots from the net than a round outline, yet stays more predictable in defence than a diamond. The soft EVA core noticeably absorbs the ball. Contact feels more cushioned than with a hard core, and even gentler shots get some pace. At 365 grams the racket is stable at impact, but it does demand a fair amount of strength over a long match.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 7 and control 7 out of 10, it is evenly geared towards power and precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 6.6 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 72% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. Right now only Padel Market stocks this model, at €154.90 – out of 21 shops in our comparison.
Intermediate all-rounders looking for a versatile game with a soft feel who can confidently handle the higher weight.
