Our impression
The Coello Vibe is Head's accessible entry to the Coello line: a teardrop with a Power Foam core and a fibreglass face (reinforced with Innegra) provide a large sweet spot and a medium-soft, low-fatigue feel. Tests praise it as one of the strongest beginner options: it makes power accessible without overwhelming you technically.
At 355 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 7 and control 6 out of 10, it is geared slightly more towards power than precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 6.6 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 72% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 2 versions of the Head Coello Vibe in our comparison, this is the cheapest (€80.10). 7 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €80.10 to €134.49 – a €54 difference for the same model.
