Wilson Bela Pro v2 for committed spin players with sound technique; Adidas RX Light is the sensible all-rounder.
A £95 mid-range racket against a £230 signature frame. The Wilson Bela Pro v2 is Fernando Belasteguin's actual racket: 355-370g, teardrop, medium-high balance, Infinity Core and a carbon fibre face with Spin Effect Tech at 38mm. That textured surface is the headline — ball rotation is genuinely a level above smooth-faced frames. The catches are familiar at this price: it's expensive, and Wilson openly say it demands proper technique.
The Adidas RX Series Light at £95 is an all-skills frame, lighter and more forgiving, aimed at the average UK club player who isn't trying to play tour padel on a Tuesday night.
The Bela is a fantastic racket. It's also wasted on someone who's not yet brushing the ball. Be honest about your spin technique before spending £230.
