Head Coello Pro 25

The Head Coello Pro 25 is a junior racket built for younger players stepping seriously into the game. At 25 inches in length, it fits children roughly in the 7 to 8 year age range, and the 400g weight sits in a sensible range for kids developing their swing without straining their arm.

Beyond the size, this racket carries the name of Alejandro Coello, one of the top players on the World Padel Tour, which gives younger players a connection to the professional game. Head typically builds their junior lines with a round or slightly teardrop shape to keep the sweet spot forgiving, which matters a lot at this age when technique is still forming. The core and face materials are not confirmed in the specs we have, but Head's junior range generally uses EVA foam cores and fibreglass faces to keep the feel manageable and the price reasonable for a racket a child will likely outgrow within a year or two.

This racket is not for adults or teenagers. If your child is older or taller than average for their age, check whether the 26 or 27 inch versions suit them better before buying. And if you are an adult looking for a Coello-inspired racket, Head makes full-size versions in that signature line worth looking at instead.

Frequently asked questions

What age is the Head Coello Pro 25 designed for?

The 25 inch length is generally suited to children around 7 to 8 years old, though height matters more than age. If your child is tall for their age, consider sizing up.

Is this a good first racket for a child?

Yes. A junior racket at this size is the right starting point for a child this age. Using an adult racket that is too heavy or too long will make it harder to learn proper technique.

How long will this racket last before my child needs a new one?

Children grow quickly, so expect to reassess the size every 12 to 18 months. The racket itself should hold up fine with normal use during that time.

How should I store and care for it?

Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from extreme heat, which can warp the frame or degrade the core over time. A basic racket bag or cover is enough protection.
