Head 2026 Padel Rackets: Power or Control?
In 2026, Head has structured its padel range into clearly defined series, where construction, balance and materials are tailored to different types of players. Together, the Coello and Radical series cover everything from junior and lightweight options to competition-ready rackets.
Coello 2026: Built for Power
The Coello series is developed in collaboration with world star Arturo Coello and is designed with one clear focus: power. The rackets are known for their head-heavy balance, strong shot output and a construction that delivers a direct, explosive response in offensive situations.
The series includes:
- Coello Pro 2026
- Coello Motion 2026
- Coello Team 2026
- Coello Vibe 2026
- Coello Junior 2026
Across the lineup, the Coello rackets support an aggressive playing style with extra force behind smashes and overhead shots, while still maintaining precision in key moments.
Radical 2026: Control with Access to Acceleration
The Radical series is made for control-oriented players who want stability and accuracy when building points, but still want the option to add power when needed.
The series consists of:
- Radical Pro 2026
- Radical Motion 2026
- Radical Team 2026
- Radical Team Light 2026
These models typically offer a more neutral and maneuverable balance, which helps in defensive play and provides a steady feel on flatter shots. When you decide to increase pace, the racket still delivers the power required to finish the point.
Which Head 2026 Padel Racket Should You Choose?
Your choice depends on how much power you want the racket to generate for you, and how much control you prefer to create yourself.
- Want head-heavy balance and maximum power → choose Coello
- Want control with the option to accelerate → choose Radical
