HEAD padel rackets: which one is right for you?
Our HEAD padel rackets cover both ends of the game: two forgiving oversize teardrops for your first seasons, and the diamond-shaped Extreme Pro for players who attack the net.
- You want power and spin: the Extreme Pro Arturo Coello 2024 (€179.95) is Coello's signature diamond from HEAD's 2024 collection. It has a head-forward balance, Auxetic and Graphene Inside construction for a fast, direct response, and a 3D Spin surface that grips the ball on víboras and smashes. At 360–375g it carries real weight in the head, so it's a racket you grow into and keep. As a prior-season frame it's also in our padel racket sale.
- You're starting out: the Vibe 2026 (€84.95) is an oversize teardrop with a smooth fibreglass face, a large sweet spot and a medium-low balance at around 350g. Easy to swing, quick at the net and forgiving on off-centre hits.
- You want a little more help from the racket: the Coello Vibe 2026 (€109.95) is the same oversize teardrop idea at around 355g, with a Power Foam core that smooths out impacts and gives you easy pace while you find your swing.
HEAD padel racket FAQs
Is the 2024 Extreme Pro still worth buying? Yes, if you want a power diamond at a lower price. Year-on-year changes in tour frames are usually small, and the prior-season frame costs much less than the current one did at launch.
Which HEAD is best for a beginner? The Vibe or Coello Vibe. Both are oversize teardrops with big sweet spots. If they're out of stock, the round and teardrop frames in our beginner rackets range are the closest alternatives.
Does Arturo Coello play HEAD? Yes. The Extreme Pro is his signature line, and the Coello Vibe is the beginner racket that carries his name.
