contents We present the first calculation of tensor and axial-tensor mesons with total spin $J\geq2$ within the Covariant Spectator Theory. We employ a refined quark-antiquark interaction kernel that incorporates the momentum dependence of the strong coupling, replacing the previously used constant term of the kernel. Global least-squares fits to the masses of experimentally established heavy and heavy-light meson states yield an excellent description of the mass spectrum for $J^P=0^\pm, 1^\pm, 2^\pm$, and $3^\pm$ using only eight adjustable parameters.
