The current season will mark the last one as a professional for Fernando Belasteguín, one of the most prominent figures in the history of padel. To commemorate his 30-year career and accompany him in his final season as a player, Wilson has crafted the new Bela v2.5 collection.
Wilson's new collection comprises three new padel rackets: the Bela Pro v2.5, the Bela Elite v2.5, and the Bela LT v2.5. Co-designed to celebrate the player's memorable legacy and created for those seeking a balance between offense and defense, these three rackets offer an optimal wide hitting spot and feature the player's signature on the face, along with a significant detail on the handle cord, reading the phrase "A Belasteguín never gives up".
Undoubtedly, the jewel of the collection is the Bela Pro v2.5, which will be used by Fernando Belasteguín. Aimed at advanced players looking to define points and have more explosiveness in their attacks, this racket is designed with Belasteguín's input, utilizing cutting-edge technology to deliver maximum performance. With an enhanced sweet spot and consistent feel, the frame is integrated with firm EVA foam and Primero Carbon, offering a combination of power and responsiveness.
However, Wilson aims to cater to all padel players with its new collection, thus adding two complementary rackets to the series that can adapt to various levels and playing styles.
On one hand, the Wilson Bela Elite v2.5, a racket similar to the former but with some notable modifications. Also featuring a red-accented design, this model boasts woven carbon fibers strategically overlaying a soft EVA foam core to provide comfortable and effortless power, while also offering extra control and a slightly wider sweet spot.
On the other hand, the Wilson Bela LT v2.5 is the softest racket in the entire range. Designed not to strain the arm, this latter model combines a Soft EVA foam core with a woven layer of carbon fiber on the face, offering cushioned and comfortable power on every stroke, thus providing a greater sense of playability. It's worth noting that, unlike its collection counterparts, the predominant color in the Bela LT design is white.
