Updated August 2026. Both rackets in stock and delivered across the UAE.
Two aggressive rackets, AED 90 apart, both built for players who finish points rather than construct them. The differences are subtler than the marketing suggests.

Head Extreme Pro Arturo Coello — AED 709
Head came to padel from decades of tennis and squash racket engineering, and it shows in build quality. The Extreme Pro is Coello's signature model — and Coello, currently world number one, plays an aggressive front-court game built on finishing points with power.
The racket reflects that directly. Diamond shape, weight toward the head, built to generate force on smashes and overheads. It's the cheaper of the two here, which makes it the better entry point into pro-signature equipment.
Choose it if: you want proven engineering pedigree and the most affordable route into a world number one's signature line.
Siux Fenix 5 Pro Black — AED 799
Siux is padel-native — the brand exists because of this sport rather than as an extension of a tennis business. That specialisation shows in how granular their range is: the Fenix line sits deliberately at the aggressive end, with the Diablo and Electra lines covering versatility elsewhere.
The Fenix is built for the same job as the Extreme Pro but arrives at it from a different design tradition.
Choose it if: you prefer equipment designed by a padel specialist, and you want a brand whose range you can grow within.
The honest verdict
These two are closer than the price gap suggests. Both are diamond-shaped power rackets for advanced attacking players, and either will serve that player well.
The Extreme Pro at AED 709 is the better value if you're deciding purely on price-to-performance. You're getting a world number one's signature model for AED 90 less.
The Fenix makes more sense as part of a longer relationship with Siux — if you're likely to move between their Diablo, Electra and Fenix lines as your game evolves, staying within one brand's feel has genuine value.
Neither is right for an improving player. Both punish inconsistent contact. If you're not consistently finding the sweet spot, a teardrop racket will serve you far better regardless of which logo it carries.
Does brand actually matter here?
Less than the specs. Both rackets are diamond-shaped with high balance and firm construction. A player who suits one will almost certainly suit the other. Brand loyalty in padel is real but largely emotional — which is fine, as long as you know that's what's driving the decision.
