Coello Junior

A control score of 10/10 favours placement over pace, trading some raw power for precision. A forgiving score of 10/10 means off-centre hits still come back playable — useful while your technique is developing. At 310 g with a low balance, it sits on the lighter end of the range — quick through the air. On the spec sheet this is one of the softer builds in the catalogue: a forgiving head shape, a soft core, moderate weight and the balance kept back rather than out in the head.
