Buy the Wilson Bela Pro v2 if you're chasing comp wins; otherwise the Head Extreme EVO is the right teardrop on a budget.
Both rackets share a teardrop shape and a 38mm thickness, but everything else diverges. The Head Extreme EVO costs around 65 quid, runs a Power Foam core with a fibreglass face and sits medium balance — it's the natural "I'm bored of my round beginner racket" upgrade.
The Wilson Bela Pro v2 is a 230 quid pro stick with carbon Spin Effect surface, an Infinity Core and medium-high balance. The Bela's spin texture and head weight let you genuinely hurt the ball on a vibora; the EVO can't match that ceiling.
Think about who you actually are: - Picked up padel six months ago, playing weekly socials? The Extreme EVO does everything you need without breaking the bank. - Played for years, hitting clean topspin and chasing competition results? The Bela's surface texture and stiffer feel will reward you.
The gap in materials (fibreglass versus carbon) is what you're paying for, and unless you can use it, the Wilson is wasted money.
