Wilson Bela LT V2.5

Fernando Belasteguín is named on both Wilson rackets from 2024 covered here, and they differ a lot on paper. This one is a teardrop at 355 g. The other is a heavy diamond. No review has been published for the LT yet, so this page reads the specs and says where they stop.

Same name on the sheet, opposite meters

The Bela Pro Padel V2.5 is a diamond with a firm EVA core and a weight between 360 g and 380 g. A retailer labels its balance High, although the figure is the same 265 mm as on the LT. Its meters read Low for control, comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot, and High for power. It is listed as a Professional racket.

The LT is the other end. Teardrop shape, medium balance, soft EVA core, and High control with Medium everywhere else. Same player name, different job. If you like the idea of a Belasteguín racket but not the demands of a diamond, this is the one the specs point to.

What 355 g and a 265 mm balance tell you

The product page calls the LT the lightest in the Belasteguín line. The numbers fit: the Pro sibling starts at 360 g and goes up to 380 g, while the LT sits at 355 g. It has no weight range at all. Min and max are both 355 g.

The 265 mm balance is labelled medium. The racket is neither head-heavy nor head-light. On paper that suggests a racket that is easy to bring back into position at the net. The thickness is 38 mm.

The maneuverability meter reads Medium, and the balance is the only spec that moves it. Nothing here makes the racket especially nimble or especially slow.

Soft EVA under carbon

The face and the frame are both carbon. The core is soft EVA. These two pull in different directions, and the meters show it.

The soft core raises control, comfort and sweet spot. It also lowers power. The carbon face and the teardrop shape give some of that power back. The result is High control and Medium power. On paper, the soft core suggests lower power and more control than a firm-core racket of the same shape.

The surface is listed as rough. The retailer also gives the colourway as white.

An offensive racket with a Medium power meter

A retailer lists the player profile as offensive. The product page goes further. It says the racket suits aggressive players who want to maximise their attacking power without straining the arm, and it promises comfort and cushioning.

Treat that as the brand's pitch. The specs back part of it. Control is High, and the soft core is the one spec that raises comfort. But power and comfort both read Medium, not High. So the offensive label and the Medium power meter sit side by side, and you should weigh both.

Next to the Head Radical Motion 2024 and the Tecnifibre Curva Speed 2026

The Head Radical Motion 2024 shares the teardrop shape, the 265 mm balance, the 38 mm thickness and the 355 g weight. The difference is in the meters: Medium control and High comfort, against High control and Medium comfort here. It is also listed for beginners through advanced players. If your arm matters more than precision, that is the one to compare.

The Tecnifibre Curva Speed 2026 is closer in character. It is a teardrop at 355 g, listed as Advanced, with High control and Medium for the rest. It uses a firm sandwich foam core and a 16K carbon face, against the soft EVA here. Its balance is labelled neutral, with no millimetre figure published.

Head size, handle, weight system: what the sources do not publish

Three specs are missing: head surface, handle and weight system. The sources checked do not publish them. Head size gives the surface area of the face, and that is the number you would want most. The sweet spot meter here is only an estimate from core and shape. Without a handle spec you cannot judge the grip size in advance either.

The practical answer is simple. If you are close to buying, try to hold one before you decide, or wait for the first reviews from people who played it.
