In shortPlayers like the rough face for spin, the weight for smashing, and its durability. The main downsides are a smaller sweet spot that punishes poor contact and a stiff feel that can be demanding, so it suits intermediate players more than beginners.

Owns the non-Pro Bela V3 (365 g) and has played it three times a week for six months. Likes its weight for smashing, its almost dry but lively touch, the balance and the rough 3D face for slicing, and says it has held up with no dents or paint loss.
“Nice weight to smash, very very good touch almost dry but with some liveness, nicely balanced and with the best 3D embossed face PLUS sand roughness. Its a hoot to slice.”
A fan of the Bela V3: its surface lets them put a lot on the ball and it is a versatile all-rounder, but it punishes poor contact, with a smaller sweet spot than other rackets they've used.
“I can only speak for the Bela V3. I’m a fan. Great surface allows you to get a lot on the ball and it’s a versatile all rounder. It does punish poor contact though,”
