HEAD makes padel rackets for every level, from soft fibreglass rackets for your first season to the stiff diamond-shaped frames used by Arturo Coello and Paula Josemaría on the Premier Padel tour. The catch for UK buyers is stock: HEAD’s own webshop does not deliver here, and plenty of 2026 models are sold out, used-only or on pre-order. This guide lists the best HEAD padel rackets that were in stock on Amazon UK when we checked on 2 November 2026, with the price that day, who sells it and what HEAD says each racket is for.

Prices and stock are from Amazon UK product data, checked on the morning of 2 November 2026 (UK time). Several rackets are sold through Amazon by specialist shops such as Padelmarket, Shop4Padel and IRINAS, so delivery times vary. “Not listed” means the listing does not say.

How the HEAD padel range works
HEAD names its ranges by playing style, and most come in several versions from Pro (stiffest, for strong players) down to Team, Motion and Vibe or Evo (softer and easier to play).
- Extreme: HEAD’s power line, mostly diamond shapes with a high balance. The Extreme Pro is the heaviest; the Extreme Motion is lighter.
- Radical: the control line. Teardrop shapes with a lower balance for placement and touch.
- Coello: Arturo Coello’s signature rackets, from the Coello Pro down to the Coello Team and Coello Vibe.
- Evo and Vibe: the entry rackets, with fibreglass faces, soft foam and oversized teardrop heads for a big sweet spot.
The quick rule: round or oversized teardrop heads are the most forgiving, teardrop is the all-round choice for most improvers, and diamond gives the most power but needs clean technique. Lighter, low-balance rackets are easier on the arm.
1. HEAD Extreme Pro 2026: best for power
- Shape: diamond, high balance
- Weight: 370 g
- Head size and profile: 494 cm², 38 mm
- Tech: Auxetic 2.0, Power Foam, Extreme Spin texture, Soft Cap+
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £192.00, new, only 4 left, sold by IRINAS
The Extreme Pro 2026 is the heaviest racket in HEAD’s Extreme series, and HEAD builds it for players who attack from everywhere: smashes, víboras and x3s. The carbon frame adds stiffness, Auxetic 2.0 and Power Foam are there for a fast ball off the face, and the textured Extreme Spin surface helps the ball grip. The listing also mentions an optimised drilling pattern to widen the sweet spot, though a 370 g diamond is still a racket for confident players.
The Extreme Pro 2026 was unavailable on Amazon UK when we last checked on 30 October, and it was back in stock on 2 November 2026 with only 4 left, so it may not last. Our HEAD Extreme Pro 2026 review compares it with the rest of the Extreme range.
Good for: advanced attackers with a fast swing. Less good for: beginners and anyone with a sore elbow.
2. HEAD Radical Pro 2026: best for control
- Shape: teardrop, low balance
- Face: double carbon fibre
- Weight: the heaviest Radical model (grams not listed)
- Level: HEAD aims it at tournament players with a tactical style
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £204.49, new, only 2 left, sold by Shop4Padel
If the Extreme Pro is about hitting through the ball, the Radical Pro is about choosing where it goes. HEAD pitches it at tactical players who control the pace of a rally, with a double carbon face for touch and a teardrop shape and low balance that keep it quick in the hands. The extra weight, as HEAD puts it, adds force to your own swing rather than doing the work for you. Stock is thin, with 2 left on 2 November 2026. Read our HEAD Radical Pro 2026 review for more on the line.
Good for: strong players who build points. Less good for: players who want free power.
3. HEAD Extreme Motion: Paula Josemaría’s racket
- Shape: diamond
- Weight: 360 g
- Balance: 268 mm
- Face: hybrid woven
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £188.45, new, 12 left, sold by Amazon US
The Extreme Motion is the lighter sister of the Extreme Pro, with the same diamond shape for attacking play but about 10 g less to swing. That makes it a good fit for advanced players, including many women players, who want Extreme power with quicker handling at the net. The in-stock listing is the Paula Josemaría edition (model 223024), not the 2026 version.
About the Extreme Motion 2026: Amazon UK lists it at £200.00, but on 2 November 2026 it was a pre-order with a release date of 1 January 2027, so we have not linked it as a buy now pick. HEAD describes it as lighter than the Extreme Pro, with a unidirectional carbon layer, Auxetic 2.0 and Power Foam. The search button below will show it once stock lands. See also our best padel rackets for women.
Good for: advanced attackers who want a lighter diamond. Less good for: beginners.
4. HEAD Coello Team 2026: Coello’s racket with a softer feel
- Face: fibreglass, the softer stiffness model of the Coello series
- Designed for: experienced and advanced players who attack at the net
- Details: Arturo Coello signature and crown logo
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £133.24, new, only 6 left, sold by Amazon EU
HEAD makes a family of rackets with Arturo Coello. The top Coello Pro 2026 was only on offer used (Amazon Resale, 1 left) on 2 November 2026, so we do not link it as a new racket; the search button shows any new stock. The Coello Team 2026 is the in-stock option: HEAD describes it as light power and comfort for attacking at the net, with a fibreglass face that is softer than the Pro. It suits a strong club player more than a pro. Our HEAD Coello Pro 2026 review covers the top model.
Good for: attacking club players who want an easier version of a pro racket. Less good for: anyone after the stiff Pro feel.
5. HEAD Extreme Team 2025: the Extreme line for less
- Weight: 360 g
- Face area: 490 cm²
- Profile: 38 mm
- Balance point: 265 mm
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £126.22, new, only 6 left (more on the way), sold by Amazon
The Extreme Team is the club player’s way into HEAD’s attacking Extreme line. It is lighter than the Extreme Pro and costs about £65 less, and it is sold and shipped by Amazon. The listing is short on detail beyond the numbers above, so if you want the full tech story read the Extreme range section of our Extreme Pro 2026 review.
Good for: improving players who like to attack. Less good for: anyone who wants a long spec sheet.
6. HEAD Radical Motion: control for less
- Shape: teardrop
- Face: 3K carbon
- Tech: Auxetic, reduced weight and balance for manoeuvrability
- Level: HEAD lists it for advanced and professional players
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £111.90, new, only 5 left, sold by Padelmarket
The Radical Motion is the lighter, easier-handling member of the Radical family. You get the control-first teardrop shape and a 3K carbon face, with the weight and balance brought down so the racket moves quickly at the net. At about £112 it is roughly half the price of the Radical Pro, which makes it the value pick for control players. This is the earlier 222044 model; a newer Radical Motion listing (222046) was £130.45 with only 2 left.
Good for: control players who want a lighter racket. Less good for: pure power hitters.
7. HEAD Radical Team 2026: best for improvers
- Shape: teardrop
- Balance: low, for comfort and manoeuvrability
- Face: fibreglass
- Tech: Auxetic 2.0
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £102.49, in stock, sold by Amazon
The Radical Team 2026 is the one we would point most improving club players to. The teardrop shape is versatile, the low balance makes it easy to handle, and the fibreglass face is softer and more forgiving than the carbon on the Radical Pro and Motion. It is also one of the few current HEAD rackets sold directly by Amazon in good stock. A Radical Team Light 2026 is listed too, but it did not show as in stock on 2 November 2026.
Good for: players moving up from a first racket. Less good for: advanced players who want a stiff face.
8. HEAD Zephyr UL: the lightweight pick
- Tech: Graphene 360+ for flex and feel, Power Foam
- Weight: HEAD sells it as one of the lightest rackets on the market (grams not listed)
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £87.47, in stock, sold by Amazon (Amazon exclusive)
The Zephyr UL is built around low weight. HEAD says it is one of the lightest rackets on the market, and Power Foam helps soften off-centre hits. That makes it a sensible choice for juniors, players with arm or shoulder niggles, and anyone who finds standard rackets tiring by the third set.
Good for: lighter hitters and players who want comfort. Less good for: big hitters who want weight behind the ball.
9. HEAD Coello Vibe 2026: Coello’s design for beginners
- Shape: oversized teardrop
- Face: fibreglass
- Level: beginners and casual players
- Details: heavier than the other Vibe models, for a little extra power; Coello signature and crown logo
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: £81.22, in stock, sold by Amazon EU
The Coello Vibe puts Arturo Coello’s name on an entry racket. HEAD gives it a big, oversized teardrop head and a fibreglass face for easy power and a large sweet spot, and makes it a touch heavier than the standard Vibe. It is a good gift for a newer player who follows the pro tour.
Good for: beginners and casual players. Less good for: advanced players.
10. HEAD Evo Speed, Evo Radical and Evo Extreme: best for beginners
- Shape: oversized teardrop
- Face: fibreglass, soft foam, Innegra for shock absorption
- Balance: lighter and lower balance for easy handling
- Amazon UK, as of 2 November 2026: Evo Speed £56.99 (sold by Amazon), Evo Radical £59.99 (sold by Amazon, Amazon exclusive), Evo Extreme 2025 £54.19 (sold by Amazon EU), all in stock
The Evo rackets are HEAD’s first-racket range, and the three versions share the same build: an oversized teardrop head with a large sweet spot, soft foam and a fibreglass face, plus Innegra fibres to cut vibration. The names follow HEAD’s adult ranges, so pick the colourway you like; the listings describe the same easy-play recipe. All three were under £60 on 2 November 2026. Our HEAD Evo review goes into more detail.
Good for: first-time buyers and casual players. Less good for: anyone who already hits hard and wants more control.
