Playing characteristics
Where they differ
| Characteristic | Bullpadel Vertex 04 (2025) | Wilson Bela Pro (2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Balance | HighThe weight rides toward the head, so a firm swing carries more power and the racket feels heavier and slower to move. | MediumThe weight sits in the middle of its length, between the head-heavy and head-light feels. |
| WeightA heavier racket is steadier and carries more of its own power but asks more of your arm; a lighter one is quicker to swing and gives less free power. | 365–375 g | 360–375 g |
| Face | Carbon 12KA stiffer carbon weave bends less, so it returns more power with a firmer feel. | Carbon 3KA lighter carbon weave keeps some flex, so the face is more comfortable and returns a little less power than stiffer carbon. |
| Surface | RoughA textured face grips the ball on a brushed shot, so it can put more spin on it. | SmoothNo added texture, so any spin comes from the swing alone. |
| Sweet spot | SmallA hit that misses the centre loses more, so it asks for precise contact. | LargeA wide forgiving area, so a hit that misses the centre still plays well. |
| Vibration absorption | LowMore of the shock of each impact reaches your arm. | MediumSome of the shock of each impact is damped before it reaches your arm. |
- Shape
- Diamond — The face widens toward the top, giving a high contact point more face behind the ball.
- For a level
- Advanced — The least experienced player the catalogue judges it suits — it is not a limit on anyone above.
- Core
- EVA hard — A harder core rebounds quickly, so a swing gets more power and the impact feels firmer and less forgiving.
- Arm-friendly
- No — The catalogue does not mark it as gentle on a sore elbow or shoulder.

Which one fits you?
Being torn between two rackets on the same scale still leaves open whether either fits your game. The finder asks five questions about how you actually play, plus one optional question about the racket you use now — six questions, and up to two more only if your answers leave something ambiguous. In about five minutes it narrows the whole catalogue to the rackets that actually fit you — and explains why.
