Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia just took the London P1 title on 9 August 2026, beating Alejandro Galán and Fede Chingotto in a three-set final at Olympia — Coello's eighth trophy of the season alongside Tapia. He's the world No.1, and he plays HEAD. What most UAE buyers don't realise is that "the Coello racket" isn't one racket — HEAD builds three distinct models under his name: Pro, Motion, and Team. They share a family look (diamond-leaning hybrid shape, Graphene 360+, Auxetic 2.0) but they are tuned for different swings and different levels. Buying the wrong one because it has Coello's name on the box is a common — and expensive — mistake.

Here's the honest breakdown of all three, specs and feel, so you buy the one that actually fits your game.

The three rackets, side by side

HEAD Coello Pro — the one Coello actually competes with

This is the racket built to mirror what's in Coello's own bag: a 12K woven carbon face over Power Foam, head-heavy balance, and a rough 3D-textured surface (Extreme Spin) for heavy spin generation. HEAD rates it 9.0/10 for power and 8.6/10 for control — it's built to reward players who commit fully to the smash and the bandeja, not players who are still deciding where to stand.

Who it's for: advanced-to-competitive players with an established offensive game — strong overhead technique, confident at net, swinging fast enough to load the head-heavy balance without fighting it.

Honest con: the stiffer 12K carbon face is unforgiving on off-center hits and transmits more shock through the arm than the Motion or Team. If you already deal with elbow or wrist strain, this is not the fix — see our padel elbow guide before buying this one.

UAE stock note: we're down to 1 unit of the Coello Pro in Dubai right now. If you want this exact model, message us on WhatsApp before you drive to a club expecting to buy it off the shelf — we'll tell you straight if it's gone and when the next shipment lands.

HEAD Coello Motion — same attacking DNA, easier to swing

Motion uses the same Power Foam core and head-heavy balance as the Pro, but swaps the stiff 12K carbon face for a Hybrid Carbon + Fiberglass construction. The result: power output is nearly identical (8.9/10 vs 9.0/10 on HEAD's own scale) but the racket accelerates faster through the swing because the face flexes a touch more before it releases the ball.

Who it's for: advanced players who want Pro-level attacking output but either (a) don't have the raw swing speed to load a fully stiff face, or (b) play long matches in Dubai heat and want a racket that doesn't punish a tired arm on the last game of the third set.

Honest con: the extra give in the face costs a fraction of pure control compared to the Pro — you'll feel it most on flat, driven volleys at the net. Most club-level advanced players won't notice; players chasing FIP ranking points might.

UAE stock note: currently out of stock in Dubai — we're restocking. WhatsApp us if you want to be first in line when it lands.

HEAD Coello Team — the one intermediate players should actually look at

Team is the odd one out, and it's the one we recommend most often. Even balance instead of head-heavy, a Soft Foam (low-density EVA) core instead of Power Foam, and a flexible fiberglass face instead of carbon. It still carries Graphene 360+ and Auxetic 2.0, so the technology story is real — but the whole racket is tuned to be more forgiving and easier to control at a lower swing speed. HEAD's own numbers back this up: control (8.8/10) actually edges out the Pro (8.6/10), while power (8.9/10) barely drops.

Who it's for: intermediate players ready to move off a fully beginner-friendly racket, and advanced players who want a comfortable, all-court racket for social or club matches rather than tournament play. If you're asking "am I ready for a diamond-shaped power racket yet," the answer is usually Team first, Pro later — see our intermediate upgrade guide for the fuller picture.

Honest con: if you're already a hard-hitting advanced player, Team will feel underpowered on your biggest smashes — it's built for comfort and control, not maximum output.

UAE stock note: also currently out of stock — restocking, same as Motion. Message us for the ETA rather than assuming.

So which one should you actually buy?

Ignore the name on the box and match the racket to your swing, not to the World No.1's results sheet:

• You compete, you commit to every smash, and your arm is used to a stiff racket → Coello Pro.
• You want that same attacking profile but need a racket that's kinder on a tired arm or a slightly slower swing → Coello Motion.
• You're intermediate-to-advanced, want comfort and control while you build toward a fully offensive game → Coello Team.

All three sit in our HEAD collection and our Advanced Level collection; the Pro and Motion also show up under Diamond-leaning shapes. If none of that narrows it down, send us your level, dominant hand, and how many hours a week you're on court — that's genuinely the fastest way to get this right, faster than reading any more spec sheets.

Not sure which one is you? Message us on WhatsApp with your level and current racket — we'll tell you straight, including if the honest answer is "don't upgrade yet."

Play it Bueno.
