Wilson Bela LS V3 (2025)

Editorial assessment · 2025 model

The Bela LS V3 is the lighter, softer option in this Bela range. Wilson lists a 355 g nominal weight, 260 mm balance and hybrid head, with woven carbon fibre over a soft foam core. We would start here if you like the Bela shape but do not want the Pro's weight and firmer construction.

Best for
Improving and experienced players who prefer a lighter carbon-faced racket with a softer core.
Main trade-off
The LS reduces nominal weight by 15 g compared with the Pro, but it also changes the face and core; it is not simply the same racket made lighter.

Our assessment

Which Bela makes sense?

Choose between LS and Pro by weight and feel before looking at the name. LS uses ComfortFlex and soft foam at 355 g nominal. Pro uses a 24K carbon face and high-density Power Foam at 370 g. They share the hybrid head shape but serve different preferences.

We would include the LS in a comparison for an improving player who already knows they prefer less weight. The Pro badge is not a reason to move away from a lighter racket that suits your game.

Consider an alternative if: You deliberately want a heavier racket and firm contact, or your weight limit is below 355 g.

Strengths

  • Its 355 g nominal weight is the lightest in the Bela V3 family.
  • The ComfortFlex face and soft foam provide a clear alternative to the Pro's firm construction.

Drawbacks

  • Players who prefer heavy, firm rackets may favour the Pro.
  • A 355 g nominal figure does not guarantee a particular finished weight after extra grips or a protector.

FAQ

Is the Bela LS V3 a lightweight racket?
Yes. At 355 g nominal, it is towards the lighter end of rackets and 15 g lighter on paper than the Bela Pro V3. It is worth considering if a 370 g racket feels cumbersome, although extra grips and a protector add weight.
Is the Bela LS V3 just a lighter Bela Pro?
No. The LS has a ComfortFlex carbon face and soft foam core. The Pro uses 24K carbon and firmer, high-density Power Foam. Pick LS for its lighter, softer setup; pick Pro only if you prefer the extra weight and firm response.
