The Siux Beat Control 3 2026 is a control-oriented racket aimed at players who value precision and comfort over raw power. It feels especially interesting for players building a solid, reliable game from the back of the court and for those moving up from more basic fiberglass rackets.
Technical Analysis
Shape and Balance
The racket has a round shape, which already hints at its identity: control-first.
The sweet spot sits well centered and feels quite generous. Off-center hits still come out with decent direction, which helps a lot in defensive situations.
The balance feels neutral, slightly leaning to the handle. That gives a sense of stability in the swing, but without feeling heavy at the top. It favors quick preparation and controlled swings over big, explosive finishes.
Construction and Materials
- Frame: Fiberglass
- Faces: Fiberglass
- Core: EVA rubber
The full fiberglass construction on frame and faces gives the racket a softer and more elastic touch than a carbon model. The ball sinks into the face a bit longer, which gives a high level of comfort and easier ball output on slower strokes.
The EVA core with medium-soft feel completes that profile. Impact is absorbed well, and vibrations are low. It’s a forgiving setup for players with arm sensitivity or those who play long matches.
You lose some explosiveness in finishing shots compared to hybrid or carbon faces, but in exchange you gain comfort, control, and forgiveness.
Feel and Touch
The feel is clearly medium-soft, maybe leaning a bit more to the soft side in slower rallies.
On standard rallies, the ball leaves the face with a sensation of control and a bit of dwell time. There is no “boardy” or overly hard feeling at impact.
This helps a lot with:
- Blocking heavy shots.
- Resetting points from defensive positions.
- Placing the ball with intention rather than just hitting hard.
Players who enjoy a dry, very hard touch might find it too mellow. But for intermediate players, and for control-focused games, it feels very comfortable and predictable.
Grip
The grip size feels standard and friendly. It sits well in hand with no strange shapes or surprises.
There’s enough comfort to play long sessions without constantly adjusting the grip.
The handle length suits one-handed play perfectly. You can add an overgrip or two without losing control thanks to the racket’s neutral balance.
Maneuverability
The racket moves with ease in fast exchanges. Volleys, reflex blocks and quick changes of direction feel agile.
Because the balance is not head-heavy, it doesn’t feel tiring over the course of a long match.
Players used to ultra-light rackets might find it slightly calmer in movement, but the trade-off is that there is more stability and better control on impact.
Sensations in the Game
From the Back of the Court
From the baseline, the Siux Beat Control 3 2026 feels very friendly and predictable.
Defensively, it stands out:
- Good sweet spot, especially for a fiberglass round racket.
- Easy ball lift on lobs and high defensive shots.
- Comfortable on blocks, with low vibration and stable response.
On slower strokes, the racket delivers a lot of control. It’s easy to direct the ball into deep zones or play safer cross-court balls without the ball suddenly flying out.
In more demanding defensive points, when you are late to the ball or stretched out, the soft touch and elasticity help you get the ball back with decent depth even without a perfect swing. It rewards proper technique but is not punishing when you are under pressure.
If you’re a player who builds the point patiently and likes to construct the play from the back, this racket fits that style well.
At the Net
Near the net, the racket performs solidly, with a clear focus on precision rather than pure aggression.
On volleys, the positive points are:
- Easy to guide the ball to tight angles.
- Good feel for drop volleys and control shots.
- Light enough in the hand to react quickly in fast exchanges.
The medium-soft touch helps a lot when softening the ball. Short cross volleys, angled volleys and slow, placed shots are quite effective.
In quick exchanges at the net, the racket keeps up well. It doesn’t feel too whippy or too slow. It sits in a useful middle ground, providing stability and ease of use, but not that extra punch of a stiffer, head-heavy carbon model.
For bandejas and defensive overheads, the control is high. Depth is easy to manage, and the ball trajectory is predictable. However, if your bandeja style is very aggressive and based on speed, the lack of stiffness might leave you wanting a bit more bite.
On the Smash
Here is where the character of the Siux Beat Control 3 2026 is clearest:
This racket is not a power monster.
On flat smashes, you will need solid technique and good timing to finish the point. The racket does not add a lot of extra power on its own. Players with a naturally strong arm and explosive legs will make it work, but intermediate players looking for easy “out of the court” smashes might struggle.
On topspin or 3-meter smashes, the control helps to keep the ball in play with angle and direction, but again, the trampoline effect is moderate.
Where it behaves better is in directed, controlled overheads:
- Tray and vibora with placed depth.
- High balls aimed at player’s feet or at back glass.
- Overheads where precision is more important than sheer speed.
So, if your game is based on positioning and directing the point, and not on constant finishing from the first overhead, the racket responds correctly. If your game revolves around finishing every high ball, it may feel limited.
Conclusion
The Siux Beat Control 3 2026 is a control-oriented, comfortable racket with a clear defensive and all-court profile. It shines especially in:
- Players looking for comfort and forgiveness.
- Intermediate level users who want a stable, predictable racket.
- Defenders or back-court players who build points instead of forcing quick winners.
- Players with arm concerns who prefer softer impacts.
Its main strengths:
- Large and usable sweet spot for a control racket.
- Comfortable, medium-soft feel thanks to fiberglass and EVA core.
- High control from both back of the court and at net.
- Good maneuverability for long matches and fast exchanges.
Aspect that can be seen as a drawback:
- Limited power for advanced offensive players who rely heavily on smashes and very aggressive overheads.
- Players coming from full carbon, aggressive rackets may miss some rigidity and bite, especially in finishing shots.
Overall, the Siux Beat Control 3 2026 fits very well as a safe, control-first option for players who prioritize placement, comfort, and stability over pure power. It’s a logical step for those growing out of beginner rackets and looking for more precision without sacrificing a friendly, soft sensation on every shot.
