Head Concord Padel Racket 2025

Padelvo lists 360 g, Padel Reference 365 g, Smashinn 375 g and one UK review 380 g. Padel Nuestro and the Decathlon marketplace, both selling the 2025 model, don't give a weight at all. The 375 g listing also describes a Diamond OS with a 420 cm² head and 260 mm balance, and we think it's an older Concord still on the page, not this one.

Most 2025 listings sit at 360 to 365 g, which is normal for an adult racket. The face, core and balance are where the sources do agree: fibreglass on Power Foam, with the weight towards the head. The racket face itself carries HEAD's tech labels, Power Frame, Integrated Protector, Tailored Frame, Power Foam and Innegra, which match the 2025 listings.

Put the weight up in the head and the racket keeps moving after contact. That's free pace on a smash or a flat drive, and it's why the Concord gets filed under power by every shop that sells it. The cost is at the net. A head-heavy frame is slower to bring up for a quick volley and tires the forearm sooner over three sets.

Fibreglass softens that. It flexes more than carbon, so the ball sits on the face a little longer and mishits sting less. Power Foam is HEAD's livelier foam, so the Concord has more bounce off the face than the Soft Foam Head Xenon. The oversize head gives a big hitting area for a racket at this price.

Padel Nuestro's own page can't decide either: its filters say beginner to intermediate, its description says advanced. On the build, we'd put it with improvers in their first or second year who already hit through the ball, especially ex-tennis players. A true first-timer is better served by a medium balance, such as the 350 g Head Vibe 2025. An advanced player will want carbon and a published spec sheet.

If you're comparing it with the other HEAD rackets on our cheap padel rackets list, the Head Cyber is the entry diamond for trying the shape, and the Speed Team 2025 is the next step up in fibreglass, with a full HEAD sheet behind it.

A tacky overgrip such as the HEAD Padel Pro three-pack helps hold a head-heavy racket steady; padel grips covers thickness. HEAD's bumper protects the top of the frame, and a strip from the racket protector range adds another layer. Try the Head Padel One tube for club games, or browse padel balls. Court soles from padel shoes grip sand-filled turf in a way trainers don't. The wider range is on padel rackets, and the guide to choosing a padel racket explains balance.
