What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Ultimate's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Coello's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Ultimate, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The Ultimate is about 10 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Coello puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Ultimate, for quick hands
Where each one balances, measured from the end of the handle. The lower the point, the more of the weight sits in your hand: the Coello at 268 mm, the Ultimate at 270 mm.
Edge: the Coello, for your arm
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
