Our verdict
The Coello Pro is the racket of world No. 1 Arturo Coello. Head lists it at 370 g with a 272 mm (high) balance, a Power Foam core and a Carbon Hybrid face. Review databases class it as a diamond with a hard feel. It's the most power-focused racket we cover.
It's our best for power: heavy, explosive smashes and fast volleys for players with a clean, quick swing. It's demanding, though. Defence takes full preparation, soft touches take work, and reviewers warn it can strain the elbow or wrist.
Best for: advanced left-side attackers with a fast, clean swing and no arm problems.
Avoid if: you don't hit the sweet spot consistently yet, or you have elbow or shoulder pain.

The 2026 model
Head's 2026 Coello line spans several rackets. The Pro is the top, power-first model, and the cheaper Coello Vibe is a fibreglass teardrop for newer players. Independent reviewers describe the 2026 Pro as a little more approachable than many hard power rackets, while keeping its firm feel.
