[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Wilson Bela LS V3 is the light, soft member of the Bela V3 family. It weighs 355 g, has a teardrop shape and a Power Foam core. Reviewers praise its speed and arm comfort, and both say power is limited. Choose it for timing, angles and recovery, not for flat winners. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you win points with placement and timing, and you rarely need to hit through the ball - your arm complains after long sessions and you want a soft, vibration-reducing racket - you play a lot at the net and need the racket back in position quickly Skip it if - you want a racket that makes its own pace on smashes. The firmer Wilson Bela V3 or the Wilson Bela Pro V3 2025 is the more natural step - you are a beginner who needs help getting the ball deep. The Head Radical Motion 2024 has the same weight and balance, with a medium power reading - you like a heavy, head-heavy racket that carries its own momentum through the shot ## How it plays 8.4 **padell.io score 8.4** Play 8.4 (60%) and reviews 8.3 (40%).

Checked every night. ## What reviewers say Two sources played the racket, and they agree on the main points. padel.how gives 77 out of 100. Padelvergleich gives 87 out of 100. Both like the mobility, the comfort and the control. Both say power is limited compared with heavier Wilson models. They differ in tone. padel.how lists the maximum power output as noticeably limited and recommends the racket to mobile intermediate to advanced players who like timing and angles. Padelvergleich calls the weight extremely light, praises quick net movements and sees it as a fit for advanced all-rounders. It rates power as neutral, where padel.how rates it negative. That may account for part of the gap in the ratings. Neither source reports comfort problems. Both rate the sweet spot positively. [**Padelvergleich** 8.7 Best for Advanced all-rounders seeking mobility and comfort Review in German · Read the full review →](https://padelvergleich.de/tests/padelschlaeger/wilson/bela-ls-v3) [**padel.how** 7.7 “The LS is the fastest and most comfortable Bela V3.” Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/wilson-bela-ls-v3-review/) Three rackets carry Fernando Belasteguin's name in [Wilson](https://padell.io/brands/wilson/)'s [Bela V3](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/bela-v3/) range, and the LS is the one with the least power. At 355 g it is the lightest of the three, and both reviewers who played it stress the low weight and the speed. ## Bela LS, Bela V3, Bela Pro V3: the same name, three different jobs The names look alike. The rackets are not. The Bela V3 weighs 365 g, has a firm EVA core and a Medium-High balance. The [Bela Pro V3 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/bela-pro-v3-2025/) weighs 370 g, has a High balance and a 24K carbon face. Both read high on power and low on comfort. The LS is the reverse. It weighs 355 g, uses Power Foam and a 265 mm balance, and reads low on power and high on comfort. Wilson's Australian site lists Belasteguin as the player attached to it, but the numbers say this is the gentle one of the family. That matters if you buy on the name. You may expect the pro's hard-hitting game. What you get is the version built for speed and ease on the arm. If you want the firmer sibling, look at the [Bela V3](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/bela-v3/) instead. The Bela family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro V3**](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/bela-pro-v3-2025/) [**V3**](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/bela-v3/) **LS V3** ## 77 and 87 out of 100: two testers, one verdict on power Two sources played the racket. padel.how gives it 77 out of 100. Padelvergleich gives it 87 out of 100. The gap is real, but the content is close. Both praise mobility and comfort. Both say power is lower than on heavier Bela models. So the ratings differ in how much they forgive that. Padelvergleich writes for advanced all-rounders who want mobility and comfort. padel.how points to mobile intermediate to advanced players who like timing and angles. If power matters to you, treat the lower rating as the more relevant one. ## Power Foam and a 265 mm balance: where the speed and the comfort come from The core is Power Foam. It is soft, so it absorbs vibration and makes the racket forgiving. The face mixes carbon and fiberglass, and the frame is carbon. Retailers list a rough surface, which should help you grip the ball for spin. padel.how also noted reliable spin from the soft face. The balance is 265 mm, labelled medium. Not head-heavy, not head-light. Together with 355 g, that means the racket changes direction quickly without feeling empty. The thickness is 38 mm. The product page also mentions a V-shaped bridge, Duo Grid and Sharp Hole technology. Those are the brand's claims, and the reviewers do not measure them. Head size, handle and weight system are not published, so you cannot compare those on paper. ## A teardrop that gives up power: what you lose and how to make up for it A teardrop usually helps control and a larger sweet spot than a diamond does. Here the soft core pulls power down further. Smashes and bandejas will not leave the racket with much help. What can you do? Take a fuller swing and use your legs. Hit earlier, so the ball comes to you with its own pace. Aim for the corners and the back glass rather than the middle of the court. If you rely on one big smash to finish points, this racket will frustrate you. ## Padel.how calls it the fastest Bela: what a light racket asks of your technique Light rackets reward good habits. Because the racket does not carry momentum, a short, late or lazy swing produces a short ball. You need clean contact and steady footwork. The upside is hand speed. Blocking at the net, resetting from a hard ball and recovering after a lob all come easier. padel.how describes the LS as both the fastest and the most comfortable of the Bela V3 rackets. It also suits a player who has arm trouble with firm rackets. Padelvergleich credits the vibration-reducing comfort technology with protecting the arms. ## Bela LS V3, Head Speed Motion 2025 or Tecnifibre Curva Soft 2026: picking your light control racket The [Head Speed Motion 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-motion-2025/) has the same 355 g weight and a 270 mm balance. It reads medium on power and medium on comfort, and Head lists it as a professional-level racket. That is more pace and less cushioning than the LS. The [Tecnifibre Curva Soft 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/tecnifibre/curva-soft-2026/) weighs 360 g, has a soft single-piece foam core and reads medium on power with high comfort. On paper it is a close match on comfort, with a little more power. Choose the LS if comfort and quick hands come first. Choose one of the others if you need more help from the racket.
