Head Coello Pro 2025 Padel Racket

There are three, and none of them is the shape. Head's 2025 sheet, as Tennis Warehouse and Padel Nuestro publish it, lists the racket at 375 g; the 2026 sheet says 370 g, both with Head's usual 10 g tolerance. For 2026 Head also reworked the Power Foam into what it calls a more reactive red foam and added the Soft Butt Cap + with a swappable wrist cord.

Everything else carries over: diamond head, 272 mm balance, 38 mm profile, full carbon frame, a carbon and glass hybrid face, Extreme Spin and Auxetic 2.0. Padelful, which lists both at 370 g, rates them within a tenth of each other on every measure and sums up the difference neatly. The 2025 is a touch punchier; the Coello Pro 2026 a little more placement-oriented.

Padelful gives the 2025 a perfect 10.0 for power and 9.9 for control, files the touch as hard and calls it a racket for experienced, aggressive players who want direct response and maximum finishing power. On paper that means firm, immediate contact, a rough face that helps with slice, and a well-timed overhead that leaves in a hurry.

What it asks for in return is speed and timing. Manoeuvrability scores 8.0 and rebound 7.5, so the racket is slower back into position than a 360 g diamond and gives little free pace on soft blocks. Late on the ball, or tired, and you feel all 375 g of it.

The lighter Coello Motion 2025 is the same idea at 360 g with a medium-hard touch rather than hard. Padelful scores it 8.8 for power against the Pro's 10.0, and 8.7 for manoeuvrability against 8.0, and recommends it to improving intermediates and control-minded players who still want punch.

For most club players that is the better racket. The Pro is the right one if your smash is the main reason you win points and you have the swing to carry the extra weight for three sets.

Head has two seasons of Coello diamonds on sale at once, and they differ in small ways that matter to different players. The flow below is how we would narrow it down in the shop. If you want the diamond shape without carbon at all, the fibreglass Coello Team sits below all four, and the Extreme Pro 2025 is Head's other 370 g diamond from the same season.

Anyone who isn't already advanced. Padel Nuestro labels it advanced and competition, and that's not modesty. The advanced padel rackets page explains what that level looks like in practice.

Tape the head before its first session: a strip from the padel racket protector range saves the frame from the glass. Fit a fresh overgrip too; the Head Prime Tour 12-pack lasts a weekly player most of a season, and our padel grip page covers the alternatives.

Balls from the padel balls range, such as a dozen Head Pro+, keep practice sessions consistent. The Head Coello Pro X duffle bag is the matching bag, with more on the padel bag page, and a stable court shoe from padel shoes helps you push off for those smashes.

Still comparing? The diamond padel rackets page lines up every diamond, the padel racket sale page collects outgoing-season models like this one, and the full padel racket range covers the rest. For the theory behind weight and balance, see our guide to choosing a padel racket.
