Buy the Wilson Bela Pro v2 if you've got the technique to use a teardrop with bite, otherwise the Hack CTRL is the safer pick.
Different philosophies, similar price brackets. The Hack CTRL is built around Bullpadel's reputation for control-first frames designed for tour-style players who grind out long rallies and want a frame that won't punish a slightly mishit volley. At £190 it's serious kit but it forgives more than its sticker suggests.
The Bela Pro v2 is a different beast. Teardrop, medium-high balance, 355-370g, with Wilson's Spin Effect surface that genuinely bites the ball. It's named after Bela for a reason, the bloke who basically defined modern padel at the net. At £230 it asks for technique you may not yet have.
