Head Coello Pro 2025: full review of the world number 1’s racket

It is clear that Head is placed at the vanguard of innovation and reinterpretation In the world of paddle. Whether by creating the lightest adult racket in the world, by adapting the Boa lacing system on Motion Pro shoes, thinking back the concept of pala without hole (only one to comply with regulations), or by collaborating with Rezztek to propose a sticker kit optimizing effects, the Austrian brand continues to pushing the boundaries and redefining the standards of gaming. Head thus confirms its pioneer status, always listening to the developments in this sport and the expectations of padel enthusiasts. Today, she surprises us again with a model designed in collaboration with the current world number 1, Arturo Coello.

It was therefore natural to celebrate this overpowered player by dedicating a signature racket, the result of a clever mix of current, future and past technologies from home Head. The objective? Create a pala perfectly adapted to his playing style. Unsurprisingly, this racket displays decidedly offensive characteristics, to the point of being the most powerful pala in the catalog Head.

It is with a undisguised enthusiasm that I received it at the beginning of February, taking my time to analyze in detail each aspect of this new nugget in partnership with Mind Padel Shop.

A nod to King Arthur

Le King Arthur is a figure legendary of British mythology, famous for having directed Knights of the Round Table and for his heroic questsas an the search for the holy grail. Its history, mixing bravery and magic, symbolizes the chivalrous ideal and constitutes a pillar of medieval culture.

One cannot help but notice that certain adjectives resonate strangely with Arturo Coello : legendary, heroic, and magical, aptly describing the distinctive features of this young genius player.

COELLO Pro 2025

In terms of denomination, Head opted for the simplicity by naming this model after the native of Valladolid. Nothing is more obvious than to highlight its star player, who is also the world number 1, without resorting to complex or superfluous names.

On the plan aesthetic, we find a similar atmosphere to that of previous ranges, with a alternation of textures ranging from raw to lacquered. This visual signature, which became a real trademark in Head, continues to define identity of its models in recent seasons.

Le Matte Black almost entirely dominates the shovel, except for one shiny effect which leaves from pont and extends over a small lower section of the frame. THE logo. , as well as the model name “Coello”, are enhanced with a very bright silver gray, who immediately catches the eye. The bright red gum bring a touch of danger and passion, while some additional accents of this coloras an the player's signature, the 3D crown on the edge and the word "Pro", come harmonize the whole and create a smooth transition with the two dominant tones.

La Extreme Spin grip surface bring a touch of originalityWith its 3D mini-dots which subtly draw King Coello's crown, And Holes of different diameters optimize aerodynamics.

Le some rather thick, and for a best adaptation the size of my hand, the ideal is remove the original grip and add two overgrips. As for the dragonne, red, Head stays true to his philosophy of simplicity and functionality by proposing a very basic model.

A Technical Heritage

Form guide, this shovel does not seem to be a new reference, but rather a reinterpretation from an earlier range, the famous Delta, already positioned as a range of the most powerful palas on the market few years ago.

To that, Arturo Coello benefited from all the know-how of Head and added some technologies who were not in the old Extreme Pro reference which he had been playing with until now.

Developments

This New version brings several major improvements which significantly transform the performance of the racket.

First, the Power Foam foam has been entirely redesigned. Her new additional density allows players to benefit from a significantly higher power, while guaranteeing optimal responsiveness and precision in their strikes.

Then, the with a safe environment, has been rethought in order to be even more stiffer than the previous ones. This new Full Carbon structure allows to reach levels of rigidity and stability never before equaled, in order to provide a solidity and stability in all circumstances.

Then the frame was redesigned to be even more rigid than the previous ones.

This new Full Carbon structure allows to reach levels of rigidity and stability never equaled before, with the aim of providing solidity and stability in all circumstances. The exceptional energy transmission offered by this ultra-resistant frame allows for particularly explosive strikes, perfectly adapted to decisive attack phases.

It should be noted, however, that this technical choice presents a compromise: the pure carbon structure, although more efficient in terms of power, offers slightly reduced flexibility. This results in slightly less effective vibration absorption and slightly reduced playing comfort compared to hybrid models.

Exclusive Technologies

Carbon Hybrid HS

This sophisticated technology combines two types of fibers with complementary properties. On one side, the high-strength carbon fiber ensures maximum rigidity and reactivity, allowing powerful shots with optimal energy transfer. On the other, the standard fiberglass provides the flexibility needed to absorb vibrations and improve the feel of the ball, a crucial aspect for gaining comfort and lightness.

This intelligent combination of materials results in a particularly versatile racket. It offers a perfect balance between power and comfort, while remaining remarkably solid. Its increased responsiveness makes it particularly effective in fast exchanges at the net or during counterattacks, allowing players to respond instantly to the most demanding game situations.

Power Stabilizer

This technology is a key innovation of the house Head, designed to optimize the performance of padel rackets. Integrated into the heart of the frame, it stabilizes the pala by reducing vibrations and improving energy transfer during impacts. This translates into greater comfort, extra precision and more powerful hits, while minimizing player fatigue.

Additional Technologies

This reference also incorporates the latest innovations Head – but loses the Soft Butt Cap innovation in the handle:

Auxetic 2.0 : This development improves the transmission of sensations, particularly at the frame and handle level. It offers increased precision and better perception of impacts, allowing more intuitive and efficient adjustments.
Graphene Inside : Graphene, an ultra-light and resistant material, reinforces the structure of the frame. It improves stability and optimizes energy transfer, ensuring powerful and precise strikes.
Optimized Sweet Spot : : This technology widens the comfort zone, facilitating precise strikes even outside the center of the racket.

Overall performance

On the the land, this shovel is very demanding and requires constantly rev up to express all his potential. It shines particularly in the decisive smashes, striking down the opponents provided you are well positioned. It's a real pleasure to dictate the pace and lead the game, because this racket is an ultra-offensive reference that makes no compromises.

The density of the rubber, surprisingly less rigid than expected, turns out to be a significant advantage for less technical players, offering better directional control and a fairly wide sweet spot. Its high balance and demanding character make it a formidable ally in all offensive phases.

On the other hand, defense requires significant physical commitment, particularly at shoulder level, to maintain accuracy. This weakness in this area and in quick exchanges of volleys can only be compensated for by players with excellent technique and significant physical strength.

Conclusion

This new reference in the catalog seems to be more of a tribute to the young Spanish player than a real revolution. Head wanted to reward its champion by creating a personalized signature racket, with unique touches and aesthetics. Very close to the old Extreme Pro, this racket incorporates some adjustments to better meet the expectations of the world number 1, including a reworked foam and a stronger frame, while adapting to players looking for power and precision in their game.

Whether it was with Fernando Belasteguin in the past or today with Arturo Coello, Head has always focused on diamond-shaped rackets, designed to meet the most extreme offensive demands and requiring to be pushed to their limits to get the best out of them.

Available only online in a limited edition collector's box, this racket is part of a complete “Coello” range which offers different versions adapted to all levels: a lighter Motion (-15g), a more tolerant Team in fiberglass, a Vibe for beginners and a Junior with a very reduced weight.

I would like to thank Evan Grand, Marketing Manager at Head, for his renewed confidence and his remarkable availability which make these tests, in preview, always possible.
