Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello Reedicion 2024

Technologies

Pros

• ✓The diamond shape with 272mm balance stacks mass up top, so smashes and flat counter-attacks arrive with finished power and no need to add extra swing The hybrid carbon-glass fibre face widens the sweet spot compared to full carbon: slightly off-centre hits don't fly as wide and hold their line better on bandejas under pressure Auxetic tech in the frame soaks up micro-vibrations on contact, so repeated bandejas and braking viboras send clean feedback to the hand with less strain building up in the elbow The medium-density Power Foam delivers predictable rebound across the whole face, giving you more confidence to adjust direction on fast counter-attacks from the back

Cons

• ✗The 272mm balance demands early preparation on defence: get caught with your body out of position or reacting late and ball exit control drops off sharply The hybrid face caps outright power on smashes hit from a perfect position compared to full-carbon rackets with a similar competition profile Over long sessions or multi-match tournaments, 370g with a head-heavy balance builds progressive strain in the elbow — players prone to tennis elbow should weigh this up before buying

Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello 2024 Reissue: the world No.1's diamond racket

The Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello 2024 Reissue — a limited-edition signature model from the player who was then ranked #1 on the Premier Padel tour — is a power diamond built with a carbon-glass fibre face, medium-density Power Foam and Auxetic tech woven into the frame. It weighs 370g with a 272mm balance. This is the racket for net attackers who refuse to trade off power but still need precision touch when the ball arrives awkwardly.

Hybrid face: why carbon and glass fibre together

A 100% carbon face transmits every ounce of swing energy with minimal flex, but it also magnifies every off-centre hit. Blend in glass fibre and the impact zone gains controlled flex: mishits don't get punished as harshly and the ball keeps its line far better.

The rough-textured finish — boosted by Extreme Spin tech working across the face's surface planes — lets you load up spin on cross-court bandejas and viboras without reaching for the adhesive Pro Spin Strips included as an optional extra with this edition.

Power Foam and Auxetic: the marriage of rebound and touch

Head's Power Foam core here runs at medium density — not the soft foam of comfort-oriented rackets, nor the hard EVA of the most aggressive diamonds. It delivers consistent rebound across the entire face, which on fast counter-attacks from the back — where you've got precious little time — lets you adjust direction without any nasty surprises in behaviour.

The frame carries Auxetic tech, a feature across Head's 2023-onward lineup. It works through the throat and frame profile: residual micro-vibrations from contact reach the grip noticeably dampened, and tactile feedback on exactly where the ball struck the face is sharper. On repeated bandejas and braking volleys, the elbow takes on far less parasitic vibration. Graphene Inside reinforces the frame's longitudinal structure, while Smart Bridge stabilises the throat bridge on high-speed impacts where torque could otherwise throw off direction.

From baseline to net: how it behaves shot by shot

Attack and smash: the 272mm balance puts the racket's weight to work on smashes hit for the kill and flat power shots. Mass concentrated up top gives that finished-shot feel without any extra swing needed. On viboras, the Auxetic feedback lets you fine-tune wrist snap in real time.

Net and volleys: the hybrid face widens the sweet spot on quick volleys where timing isn't always perfect. Power Foam returns predictable bounce even off slightly mishit balls, cutting down unforced errors in short exchanges from the forecourt.

Defence and baseline: this is where the profile hits its natural ceiling. A high-balance diamond isn't built for patiently constructing points. In deep defence and down-the-line retrieval, arriving late to the ball with a 272mm balance costs you ball exit control fast.

Who the Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello suits — and who it doesn't

Best suited to: - Advanced/competitive players comfortable with a diamond shape and an established net-attacking game - Pairs after power with a bit more forgiveness than a full-carbon racket offers - Fast-swinging players who prioritise the net and the smash over grinding out points from the back

Not the racket if: - You're still grooving your bandeja and vibora: the high balance punishes timing errors directly through ball exit - You play multiple matches a week and have elbow sensitivity: 370g at a 272mm balance loads the tendon over long sessions - Your game is built on patient point construction from the baseline: other, more evenly balanced options in Head's range will suit that profile better

What level of player is the Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello 2024 Reissue for?

This is the signature racket of padel's then-world No.1, with genuine competition specs: diamond shape, 272mm balance and a carbon-glass fibre face with a rough-textured finish. The hybrid face makes it somewhat more forgiving than a full-carbon racket, but the balance still demands the kind of automatic timing that comes with an established diamond game. Recommended minimum level: solid advanced players who attack from the net regularly.

How much does the Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello weigh, and how does it play?

At 370g with a 272mm balance, the high centre of mass makes the racket feel more demanding on the arm than the raw weight suggests. That leverage adds power on smashes and bandejas, but it also asks for more muscular effort on defensive shots and over long matches. Players with a history of tennis elbow should factor this in before making it their main racket for the season.

Verdict

The Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello 2024 Reissue is the most forgiving power diamond in its class when it comes to face tolerance: the carbon-glass fibre blend is a smart call for competitive matches where timing isn't always perfect. Its biggest strength is the Auxetic feedback in the frame, which turns the bandeja and vibora into shots with genuinely clear tactile information. Its biggest catch: the 272mm balance demands fitness and early preparation, and when fatigue sets in, the elbow pays the price. Built for advanced/competitive players who live at the net and want power without giving up touch.
