How to read the Head lineup

Head names are built around player signatures and performance tiers. The Coello line carries Arturo Coello's match spec: Pro is the exact frame he plays, Motion is the more accessible diamond sibling, Team is the intermediate spec, and Junior is scaled for younger players. The Radical line is the control counterpart: drop shapes, defensive focus, with the same Pro / Motion / Team Light tiering.

The Extreme line is the 2025 attack range that runs parallel to Coello. Pro is always the stiffest, most demanding spec; Motion dials back the balance for wider accessibility; Team and One are the entry and intermediate points. Head does not use carbon-weave numbers in names — the tier (Pro/Motion/Team) tells you everything about demand and output.

Coello — Arturo Coello

The pro attack line. The Coello Pro is the World Padel Tour champion's match frame, built for maximum power and precision. The Motion brings the same diamond platform to a more accessible spec, while the Team and Junior versions introduce younger players to the Coello geometry.

Radical

The control family. Radical frames use drop geometry for defensive stability and precise placement. The Pro is the technical reference with hybrid capability, the Motion adds manageability for pure defenders, and the Team Light brings the platform to a lighter, rounder spec for developing players.

Extreme (2025)

The 2025 attack line that remains active alongside the 2026 Coello range. Extreme frames are diamond-shaped and head-heavy, with the Pro offering maximum stiffness, the Motion a more manageable balance, and the One a softer, rounder take on the Extreme platform.

Head 2025–2026: Three Series, Three Player Types

Head’s padel catalog is built around a simple three-series structure, and the logic holds across every model on this page. Coello, Radical, and Extreme each represent a distinct playing philosophy — and within each family, the step-down from Pro to Motion to Team follows a consistent internal hierarchy: same identity, adjusted for different physical profiles and experience levels.

The Coello series is the offensive anchor. Diamond shape, stiff carbon construction, and a profile designed for players who initiate from the net — the Coello Pro sits at the top of that range, with the Motion and Team stepping down in stiffness and price without abandoning the attacker identity. All three are built for advanced players who want to impose pace, and the data confirms that profile across the family.

The Radical series handles the precision and defensive side of the catalog. The Radical Pro is a drop-shape hybrid — one of the more versatile tools in the range, suited to all-court players who want to build points through placement rather than power alone. The Radical Motion and Team Light shift further toward the defensive profile, with softer constructions and a focus on comfort and maneuverability that makes them well-suited to advanced and intermediate players logging consistent court time.

The Extreme series is where Head’s range gets most interesting. The Extreme Pro and Motion are diamond-shape attackers built for advanced players who want to push power toward its ceiling — the Pro in particular sits at the top of Head’s offensive capability. The Extreme One takes a different direction: a defender’s tool with a rounder construction and softer response, designed for the player on the opposite side of the net from the Pro. Three series, nine rackets reviewed, one consistent editorial principle: find your role on court, then find your Head.
