Technical specifications and design of the Head Coello Pro
The Head Coello Pro is introduced as the new signature padel racket for Arturo Coello, currently the world number one in Premier Padel. The reviewer highlights its resemblance to the well-known Head Delta Pro, but with targeted modifications that push its power and offensive capabilities even further. This racket is designed for players who demand maximum performance and are willing to handle a more challenging, aggressive tool on court.

The diamond shape and high balance point make it clear that this is a racket built for attack, favoring players who can handle its weight and want to dominate points with powerful shots.
Target player profile and handling characteristics
The channel makes it clear: the Head Coello Pro is not for everyone. Its weight and balance demand a strong, technically skilled arm. The reviewer recommends it primarily for intermediate to advanced players, especially those who play offensively or occupy the left side of the court—mirroring Coello’s own style. While left-handed players will find it particularly suited to their needs, right-handed aggressive players can also benefit from its unique combination of power and ball exit.
Despite its offensive DNA, the reviewer is surprised by the racket’s generous sweet spot and unexpectedly high ball output for a diamond-shaped frame. However, the high balance and overall heft mean it is not the most maneuverable option, especially from the back of the court or in fast exchanges. Amateurs or those with less physical conditioning may find it challenging to use for extended periods.
Performance from the back of the court
Testing the Head Coello Pro from the baseline, the reviewer is impressed by its explosive ball exit and the size of the sweet spot. For a racket with such an aggressive profile, it offers more forgiveness than expected. The reviewer notes that even when not striking the ball perfectly, the racket delivers deep, powerful shots with minimal effort. This makes it possible to play with both power and touch, though the player must be able to manage the racket’s weight and high balance.
However, the reviewer cautions that quick defensive movements and rapid changes of direction are less comfortable due to the racket’s mass. Players who rely on fast reactions or who often find themselves stretched in defense may struggle unless they have a well-trained arm.
Net play and offensive capabilities
At the net, the Head Coello Pro truly shines. The reviewer repeatedly calls it a “cannon,” emphasizing the weight and heaviness of the ball it produces. Volleys and smashes come off the racket with impressive speed and depth, putting immediate pressure on opponents. Even simple blocks result in deep, heavy balls that are difficult for opponents to handle.
While the racket is less agile for quick hand battles at the net, its sheer power means that well-timed volleys and overheads can end points outright. The reviewer also notes that the rough surface and hybrid face materials help generate effective spin, making it easier to execute aggressive viboras and bandejas. However, players must be careful with touch shots and defensive blocks, as the racket’s power can sometimes send balls long if not controlled.
Overhead shots and smash performance
When it comes to overheads, the Coello Pro is described as a “real cannon.” Flat smashes easily reach the back wall or even exit the court, and the reviewer finds that even without maximum effort, the racket delivers exceptional power. The reviewer warns that the vibora can sometimes go long due to the lively response of the face, but this can be an advantage for players who want to conserve energy and still achieve deep, penetrating shots.
In summary, the Coello Pro is built for players who want to dominate with their overhead game, rewarding those who can harness its power with proper technique and timing.
Comparisons with other rackets and unique features
The reviewer draws direct comparisons to the Head Delta Pro, noting that the Coello Pro is even more powerful and slightly less manageable. The improvements in ball exit and sweet spot size set it apart from its predecessor. The reviewer also briefly mentions the Coello Motion as an alternative, though at a similar price point, and suggests that the Pro version is the choice for those seeking maximum offensive performance.
Unique features such as the rough surface with the Coello King logo, the hybrid face materials, and the pre-mounted protector contribute to both performance and durability, making the racket stand out in the premium segment.
Reviewer’s ratings and final impressions
At the end of the review, the channel provides a set of ratings (on a 13-point system) for various aspects of the Head Coello Pro:

For anyone searching for the ultimate in power and presence on court, this racket stands out as a top-tier choice in the 2025 lineup.
