Head Coello Vibe 25

The Head Coello Vibe 25 is a junior racket built for younger players stepping into padel for the first time or developing their game at an early age. At 25 inches in length, it is sized for children who need a racket they can actually swing and control, rather than one that swings them.

At 400g, this racket sits at a weight that is manageable for smaller arms without being so light that it offers no feedback. The "Coello" name ties it to Agustín Tapia's former Head signature line, which means the junior version carries some of the brand's performance DNA in its design. Beyond the size and weight, the full spec sheet for this model is limited, so if core material or face construction matters to you, it is worth checking with us directly before buying.

This racket suits kids roughly between 6 and 8 years old, though the right fit depends more on your child's height than their age. If your child is already taller or older and playing competitively at junior level, a 26-inch or full-size junior racket is likely the better step up. This is an entry and early-development option, not a racket for a teenager who has been playing for a couple of years.

Frequently asked questions

What age is the Head Coello Vibe 25 designed for?

It is generally suited to children around 6 to 8 years old, but height is the better guide. A child under roughly 120 cm will find a 25-inch racket the right fit.

Is this a good first racket for a child?

Yes. The size and weight make it practical for young beginners who are learning the basics of grip, swing, and court movement.

My child is 9 and already plays regularly. Should I still buy this?

Probably not. A child who is taller or more experienced will likely find a 26-inch racket more appropriate and will outgrow the 25 quickly.

How should I store and care for it?

Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from extreme heat or cold, as these conditions can affect the frame and strings over time. A basic racket cover is enough protection.
