The Wilson Blade V3 Padel is a 365 g teardrop with a 267 mm balance. Its 2026 successor, the Blade V4, lists the same specs apart from one core label. On paper it is a middle-of-the-road racket: Medium on control, power, comfort and sweet spot, Low on maneuverability. No reviews exist yet, so this is a read of the specs only.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 9 October 2026Choose it if
- you want a teardrop that sits between control and power and you can handle a fixed 365 g
- you find a Blade V3 and want to know how close it is to the newer V4
- you play an offensive game and prefer a balance that is neither head-heavy nor head-light
Skip it if
- you want quick hands at the net, because the weight is fixed at 365 g and maneuverability reads Low
- you need independent test results before buying, because none exist for this racket yet
- you want a model aimed squarely at advanced players, such as the Siux Diablo Elite 6
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
On paper this is a balanced teardrop with a heavy frame behind it.
- Control Medium, helped by the EVA core, the teardrop shape and the medium balance.
- Power Medium, with the teardrop shape and the heavy weight adding some drive.
- Comfort Medium, since the EVA core and mixed face help but the weight pulls it back down.
- Handling Low, because the racket is heavy and the balance does not make up for it.
- Forgiveness Medium, which is what the teardrop shape typically gives.

The Blade V4 (2026) is the only listed successor. Its sheet matches the V3 on balance, 267 mm, thickness, 38 mm, 365 g, face, shape and level. The one gap is the core: Firm EVA on the V4, EVA on the V3. No measured difference is recorded, so this is a label gap, not proof of a changed racket. The V3 product page also mentions a firm EVA foam core. If you can choose, look at the V4 as the current model. If you find a V3, expect something very close.

The Wilson Blade V3 Padel has a successor, and the two rackets share almost every line of their sheets. Only the core label differs, and that is the first thing to read carefully.
No reviewer has tested this racket yet, and Ruud has not played it. Everything below comes from the listed specs and from claims on the product page.
Blade V3 or V4: one core label apart
The Blade V4 is listed for 2026. The sheets match on teardrop shape, 267 mm balance, 38 mm thickness and 365 g. The face is carbon and fiberglass on both. The level tag is the same too: Beginner to Advanced. One line differs. The V3 lists the core as EVA. The V4 lists it as Firm EVA.
Is that a different racket? Not necessarily. Nothing marks it as a measured change. It is a changed label. The V3 product page itself talks about a firm EVA foam core. So the plain EVA label on the V3 listing may simply be shorter wording. Treat the two as very close until someone tests them side by side.
What the product page claims, and what the meters read
The product page claims good balance, a sweet spot to enjoy and easy maneuverability. Those are marketing claims. The specs tell a plainer story. Control, power, comfort and sweet spot all read Medium. Maneuverability reads Low.
Medium almost everywhere is not a flaw. It means no single trait is pushed. But Low maneuverability does not match the page's talk of easy handling. A 365 g racket takes more effort to swing quickly at the net.
EVA core, carbon and fiberglass face: why four meters sit at Medium
The core is EVA, listed with medium density. The face mixes carbon and fiberglass, and the frame is carbon. The surface is rough. A mixed face is usually softer than a full carbon one, which helps comfort. The EVA core adds to control and comfort too.
The weight works the other way. It lifts power and pulls comfort and maneuverability down. That is why the meters land where they do.
365 g at 267 mm in a teardrop: what a fixed weight asks of your arm
Weight is listed at 365 g, both minimum and maximum. So there is no lighter version to pick. That is heavy. Your forearm and shoulder will notice it over a long match, especially on defensive volleys and quick exchanges.
The 267 mm balance is called medium. It is not head-heavy, so it does not add extra swing weight on top. A retailer lists an offensive player profile. Even so, the level tag spans Beginner to Advanced. Read that as a wide net, not as advice. A beginner with a weak wrist should think twice about 365 g.
Blade V3 next to two Siux rackets
The Siux Pegasus Elite 2026 is a teardrop with a 3K carbon face, an EVA Pro core and a weight range of 360 to 375 g. Its level is listed as Advanced only, while the Blade V3 spans three levels. Its meters match the Blade V3: Medium except for Low maneuverability.
The Siux Diablo Elite 6 is similar. It is a teardrop with a 3K carbon face, a 38 mm thickness and a listed range of 355 to 375 g. Its level is Advanced and its meters also read Medium with Low maneuverability. If you want a racket that sits in the same position but is aimed at stronger players, these two are the ones to compare. If you stay with the Blade V3, you get a mixed face and a wider level tag.
What the V3 sheet leaves blank
Head size, handle details and weight system are not published. That matters. Without head size you cannot judge the sweet spot area. Without handle details you cannot judge grip fit. Check these in a shop before you commit.

Questions before you buy
Is the Wilson Blade V3 the same as the Blade V4?
On paper almost. The listed specs match except the core, which is EVA on the V3 and Firm EVA on the V4. No measured difference is recorded.
Is the Blade V3 suitable for beginners?
It is tagged Beginner to Advanced. But 365 g is heavy and maneuverability reads Low, so a beginner with a weaker arm should try it first.
How does the Blade V3 compare with the Siux Pegasus Elite 2026?
Both are teardrops with Medium meters and Low maneuverability. The Siux has a 3K carbon face and an Advanced-only level tag, with a listed weight of 360 to 375 g.
Is the Blade V3 comfortable for the arm?
The comfort meter reads Medium. The EVA core and mixed face help, but the 365 g weight works against it.

How heavy is it really?
