Wilson Bela Pro V3 vs Adidas Metalbone HRD+

“Bela's Pro V3 is that unusual thing: a head-heavy diamond scored as a control racket, and the blend works. The EVA core absorbs enough pace to keep blocks and resets short and obedient (control 82), while the head mass means the same swing still produces a real overhead (power 86). Comfort 70 and tolerance 69 are fair for a 375 g frame. The trade is hand speed: maneuverability 72 asks for early preparation at the net. For advanced players who construct points the Belasteguín way, pressure, patience, then the kill, it is a beautifully judged frame at value 76.”

“On paper the HRD+ 2026 is the 2025 HRD+ 3.4 again: the same head-heavy diamond, the same Carbon Aluminized 16K face over High Memory EVA. The one new part adidas lists is a padded, adjustable wrist cord. So it scores like the 3.4: power 92, control 72, manoeuvrability 67, comfort 64 and tolerance 63. It gives you a lot of racket on the overhead and very little back on a late block or a ball off the frame. Value falls to 71 because the 2025 is discounted and this one is not yet, so our score is 88, one under the 3.4.”
