On Sunday, October 18, 2026, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia won the Milano Premier Padel P1, coming back from a set down to beat Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in 1 hour and 57 minutes. According to Premier Padel's official report, it was their fourth title in a row and their 12th major title of the season.
Every time the world No. 1 pair wins, the same question shows up in Google: what padel racket do Coello and Tapia use? Here is what the brands themselves say, which versions you can buy, and which one actually makes sense for your game.
The short answer
- Arturo Coello is a HEAD player. His signature padel racket is the HEAD Coello Pro 2026.
- Agustín Tapia is a NOX player. His signature line is the NOX AT10 Luxury Genius 2026, and NOX has confirmed he played the AT10 Luxury Genius 18K Alum 2026 in a 2026 final.
One important caveat: professional players often use customized versions of retail models, and the brands say so. HEAD's own Coello collection page states that "HEAD Pro Players may play with different racquets from the model shown." We cannot confirm the exact racket, weight or setup either player used in Milan, so we will not pretend to.
Arturo Coello's racket: HEAD Coello Pro 2026
HEAD built the Coello collection with Coello, whom HEAD calls the youngest male world No. 1 in padel history. On the official product page, HEAD lists the Coello Pro 2026 as a padel racket "for tournament and expert players wanting pure power and attacking support," with these specs:
- Shape: diamond
- Weight: 370 g (13.1 oz)
- Balance: high, 272 mm
- Profile: 38 mm
- Face: carbon hybrid (carbon and fiberglass, higher carbon ratio)
- Core: Power Foam, with Extreme Spin rough surface
In plain English: it is heavy, head-heavy and built to finish points overhead. That matches how Coello plays, attacking from the net and ending rallies with the smash. It also means it is a demanding racket. If you do not consistently hit the upper middle of the face, a 370 g high-balance diamond will feel slow and unforgiving.
The rest of the Coello line we stock
- HEAD Coello Pro 2026 ($384.99): the signature model above. For advanced and tournament players.
- HEAD Coello Motion 2026 ($384.99): diamond shape, carbon hybrid face and mid-high balance. Still a tournament-level racket, with a little less head weight than the Pro.
- HEAD Coello Team 2026 ($235.99): diamond shape with a fiberglass face, which softens the response and widens the usable hitting area. This is the realistic Coello racket for most club players.
- HEAD Coello Tour Padel Backpack 25L 2026 ($79.00): the matching Dark Grey backpack, with space for one or two padel rackets and a ventilated shoe compartment.
Agustín Tapia's racket: NOX AT10 Luxury Genius 2026
"AT10" is Tapia's signature line at NOX. For 2026, NOX describes the AT10 Luxury Genius 18K Alum 2026 as the evolution of "the racket with which Agustín Tapia reached the pinnacle of world padel." NOX also reported that Tapia played this model when he won the Cancún final in March 2026. NOX lists it as:
- Shape: teardrop
- Weight: 360 to 375 g
- Profile: 38 mm
- Face: 18K Alum carbon, with a Dual Spin rough surface
- Core: MLD Black EVA
- Weight Balance system: small counterweights let you adjust the balance
There is a second part to the story. In September 2025, Marca reported that Tapia appeared at the Reserve Cup with the new 12K version of the AT10, which is a touch stiffer than the 18K he used before. Marca also pointed out that pros usually ask for custom adjustments, so the version on court may not match the retail spec exactly. The safe summary: Tapia plays the NOX AT10 Luxury Genius, a teardrop, and both the 18K Alum and 12K Alum Xtrem versions are tied to him in 2026.
NOX nicknames Tapia the "Mozart of Catamarca" for his touch and creativity, and a teardrop fits that kind of game. It sits between a round control racket and a diamond power racket, so it can defend, place and still finish.
The AT10 models we stock
- NOX AT10 Luxury Genius 18K Alum 2026 ($400.99): teardrop, the model NOX confirmed for the Cancún final. NOX describes the 18K Alum as the balance between control and power with a comfortable feel.
- NOX AT10 Luxury Genius 12K Alum Xtrem 2026 ($392.99): teardrop with a 12K Alum Xtrem face, which NOX describes as stiffer and firmer, for all-round players who want extra power.
- NOX AT10 Luxury Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026 ($371.99): the diamond, head-heavy version of the line for players who finish from above the net.
- NOX AT10 Luxury Genius Attack 12K Alum Xtrem 2026 ($392.99): attack geometry with the 12K face.
