You will find every model in our padel rackets category; here is this brand's selection. At Tienda Padelpoint, Wilson has five padel rackets for beginners for 2026: two Elevate (in black and silver, and in blue and white) and three Match Point (in black and white, black and red, and red and white). You will find the whole brand in our Wilson Padel Rackets category.
Both ranges want the same thing (for beginners to miss less and enjoy the game sooner), but they get there in different ways: the Elevate puts carbon in the frame and names its technologies; the Match Point sticks to fibreglass and relies on its round shape and a wide hitting area. Here is what each one brings, who it is for and who it is not for, plus a table to compare them.
Which Wilson beginner rackets are there in 2026?

What are the Wilson Elevate and Match Point rackets? ↑ index
The Wilson Elevate and Match Point are Wilson's two beginner padel racket ranges for 2026: comfortable, forgiving rackets for people who are starting to play padel. The Elevate has a carbon frame, a fibreglass face, an EVA Comfort Foam core and weighs 360 g; the Match Point is round, made of fibreglass and has a wide hitting area so you miss less on off-centre shots.
If you are starting out and want a racket with a bit more structure, one you can keep using once you get the hang of it, look at the Elevate. If you want the easiest racket for your first matches, the Match Point.
What each Wilson range brings: Elevate, Match Point ↑ index
Both ranges share fibreglass and their audience (beginners); the difference lies in the frame and the technologies. This is what the Wilson Elevate product page says:
Carbon frame: adds strength, stability and durability during play.
Fibreglass face (Fiberglass Weave): a softer feel, more comfort and a ball that comes off the face more easily.
Large Sweet Spot: enlarges the sweet spot (the area of the face where the ball comes off best) so that shots come off more consistently, off-centre ones included.
EVA Comfort Foam core: a more cushioned response, less vibration and more comfort.
Sharp Hole: the drilling on the face (the holes in it), designed to improve response and add extra precision and control.
360 g: a medium-light racket that is quick to handle.
The Wilson Match Point takes a simpler route:
Round shape: enlarges the sweet spot and makes shots more precise and controlled.
Fibreglass build: a comfortable feel on impact, more flexibility and good durability.
Wide hitting area: reduces errors on off-centre shots and builds confidence.
Beginner Friendly Design: this is what Wilson calls its design, built specifically for beginners who want to develop their technique.
According to its product page, the Match Point has a “comfortable and forgiving” feel and handling that allows “quick movements and easy control” in both defence and attack.
We have been selling rackets since 2003, with a physical shop in La Nucía (Alicante, Spain) and more than 160 padel brands. The five Wilson rackets are real shop references: each product page shows at a glance whether units are left and, if one sells out, you can ask us to let you know.

Who are the Wilson Elevate and Match Point for? ↑ index
The Wilson Elevate and Match Point rackets are for people who are starting to play padel or play now and then. They are not for advanced players or for competing.
If you want to compare them with beginner rackets from other brands, you will find them all in our beginner padel rackets category.
You are starting to play: either of the two. Shape and materials designed to forgive off-centre shots while you learn.
You play now and then: the comfort of fibreglass and a cushioning core matters more than power.
You want a racket to keep improving with: the Elevate, with its carbon frame, stays with you beyond the first few months.
And who each one is not for:
They are not for advanced players: if you already master your shots and want power or fine control, Wilson has competition ranges such as Bela or Blade.
The Match Point is not for those who play several times a week: if your technique is improving fast, the Elevate will last you longer.
The Elevate is not the simpler of the two: if all you want is the easiest racket for your first matches, the Match Point is designed exactly for that.

Wilson Elevate or Match Point: which should I pick? ↑ index
Choose the Wilson Elevate if you want a beginner racket with a carbon frame that keeps up as you progress; choose the Wilson Match Point if you want the easiest possible racket for your first matches.
You want to start and keep improving: the Elevate. The carbon frame gives it stability, Large Sweet Spot forgives off-centre shots and it is easy to handle.
You want the easiest racket for your first matches: the Match Point. Round, fibreglass and with a wide hitting area: it is made for learning.
You already know which range you want: if it is the Match Point, choose by colour, as all three are identical inside; the same goes for the Elevate and its two colours (black and silver, and blue and white).
TEST: is the Wilson Elevate or Match Point yours? ↑ index
Answer these 2 quick questions and we'll tell you whether the Elevate or the Match Point suits you better:
Wilson in padel: where Elevate and Match Point fit ↑ index
Elevate and Match Point are Wilson's entry point into padel. Above them sit its competition ranges, such as Bela or Blade.
Fernando Belasteguín: signed with Wilson in February 2020 to co-design his own collection with the brand, Wilson x BELA, which gave rise to the Bela range (Wilson press release).
Wilson x BELA: the collection born from that deal brings together rackets, accessories, clothing and footwear designed with Bela.
A range for every level: Elevate and Match Point to get started; Bela and Blade for when your game asks for more (here is the full Wilson Blade V4 range).
Compared with other brands: fibreglass is the norm in beginner rackets, and Wilson uses it in both ranges too; on top of that, the Elevate adds a carbon frame and the Match Point a design Wilson makes specifically for beginners.

Our customers ask about Wilson Elevate and Match Point ↑ index
At our shop in La Nucía, four counter questions keep coming up about the Wilson beginner rackets: which one to buy for someone who is just starting, whether a beginner racket falls short once you improve, whether the colour changes anything, and whether you will notice the change when moving from a fibreglass racket to the Elevate. These are the answers we give.
“I'm buying a racket for someone who is starting out and I don't know how much they'll play. Which one?” The Match Point: it is the simpler of the two and is designed for first matches. If you know they will play often and want to improve, the Elevate, with its carbon frame, will last them longer.
“If I improve quickly, will a beginner racket hold me back?” With the Match Point, once you master your shots and want power or fine control, it will be time to move up a range; the Elevate, with its carbon frame, stays with you a little longer. By then, Wilson has competition ranges such as Bela or Blade.
“Is the red and white Match Point different from the black and white one?” No. The three Match Point rackets have the same round shape and the same fibreglass build; only the colour changes. The same goes for the two Elevate rackets (black and silver, and blue and white). Pick the one you like best.
“I come from a fibreglass racket. Will I notice a big change with the Elevate?” Not much: the Elevate keeps the Fiberglass Weave fibreglass face and the EVA Comfort Foam core, which cushions the shot. What changes is the carbon frame, which gives it more stability.

Glossary of the Wilson Elevate and Match Point rackets ↑ index

- Area of the face where the ball comes off with the most control and the least vibration. The bigger it is, the more it forgives off-centre shots.
- Large Sweet Spot
- Wilson Elevate technology that enlarges the sweet spot so that shots come off more consistently.
- Sharp Hole
- Drilling pattern on the face of the Wilson Elevate, designed to improve response and add precision and control.
- EVA Comfort Foam
- EVA rubber core of the Wilson Elevate: it gives a cushioned response and reduces vibration.
- Fibreglass
- Material that is more flexible than carbon, with a soft, comfortable feel. It is the usual choice in beginner rackets.
- Fiberglass Weave
- Name Wilson gives to the fibreglass face of the Elevate: a soft feel, more comfort and easy ball exit.
- Round shape
- Racket shape with the sweet spot in the centre: the easiest to control and the most forgiving when you start.
- Beginner Friendly Design
- Name Wilson gives to the design of the Match Point, built specifically for players who are starting out.
Our verdict on the Wilson Elevate and Match Point ↑ index
If you keep one idea: Elevate to start with a racket that lasts, Match Point to start with the easiest one. Two beginner ranges with clear roles that do not overlap.
What we like most is that the Elevate tells you what it has: carbon in the frame, fibreglass in the face, EVA Comfort Foam and 360 g. The downside is that both fall short once you play often and want power: that is the time to look at Wilson's competition ranges, such as Bela or Blade.
A tip from the shop to get your first racket right: choose the range first, based on how much you will play, and then the colour. And if in doubt, ask us or compare them with the rest of our beginner padel rackets.
We ship to the United Kingdom from our shop in La Nucía (Alicante, Spain); as the UK is outside the EU, there is a minimum order and the parcel may carry import duties or taxes on arrival. Costs and delivery times are on our shipping page.
