Siux Electra Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupackzuk

The Siux Electra Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk arrives as a very complete option for advanced and competitive players who want a clear mix of aggressive power and solid control, with a firm feel and precise response in quick exchanges.

Technical Analysis

Shape and Balance

The tear shape gives this racket a clear offensive profile, but without losing structure in control shots.

The balance feels medium-high, with the head helping a lot when accelerating the ball. In defense, that extra inertia asks for a clean preparation and good footwork, but in attack it rewards every full swing. Players who like to dominate from mid-court and step in to finish points will feel very comfortable with this geometry.

Frame

The frame uses carbon fiber, which gives the racket a firm, stable structure.

This build provides a strong feeling on impact, with very little torsion on off-center shots. On aggressive blocks and counterattacks, the frame behaves stable and compact, helping maintain ball direction even against heavy shots from the opponent.

Faces

The faces are made of 15K carbon, a clear indicator that this is a performance-oriented racket.

The hit is crisp and lively, with a quick exit when you accelerate your arm. On flat volleys and aggressive bandejas, the response is very linear. The sweet spot is not oversized, but for a pro-style mold it is quite generous and forgiving, especially in the middle-upper area of the face.

Spin generation is good, especially on viboras and topspin smashes, thanks to the rigidity and grip you feel at contact, even though it is not the roughest surface on the market.

Core

The core uses EVA Hard, giving the racket a medium-hard overall feel.

On low-intensity shots, the ball does not “jump” by itself, so it demands good technique in defensive situations. However, as soon as you increase the speed of the swing, the racket responds with very high ball output, allowing you to play aggressive and direct padel.

Players used to very soft or ultra-comfortable cores might need a short adaptation period. Once that passes, the stability and consistency of the bounce on all shots stand out.

Grip

The grip comes with a comfortable standard length, slightly leaning to a sporty feel.

The thickness fits well for players who use a full overgrip and like a solid handle without too much bulk. The sensation of connection with the racket is clear, and wrist work on bandejas, víboras and chiquitas is easy to execute. Two-handed backhand players may miss a slightly longer handle, but for classic one-handed play it works very well.

Comfort

Despite its firm character, the racket maintains good comfort for a hard EVA and 15K carbon combo.

Vibrations are controlled as long as you hit with decent technique. Defensive touches near the glass do feel more demanding than with a soft racket, but in exchange you gain precision and depth. Players with elbow or shoulder issues should test it first, but for those used to medium-hard rackets, the comfort level is acceptable and consistent across different areas of the face.

Sensaciones en el Juego

Fondo de pista

From the back, the medium-hard feel is very noticeable. The racket does not give you much free power at low speed.

On lobs and controlled chiquitas, it responds very precisely, allowing you to place the ball deep with confidence. The sweet spot, slightly above average for this type of mold, helps you defend under pressure without losing too much control. However, you need to stay active with your legs and arm; if you get lazy with the swing, the ball tends to stay short.

On high-speed rallies from the back, the racket shines. When you load the shot, the ball output becomes explosive and lets you switch from defense to attack quickly. Players with good technique and offensive mindset will feel that the Electra Pro Shadow Red rewards proactive play, especially on aggressive drives and backhand counters.

En la red

At the net, this is where the racket stands out the most.

The higher balance and firm build help a lot to give the ball pace and weight on volleys. Short, compact swings already generate a ball that bites the glass and forces errors. On high volleys, it is easy to accelerate and close points with depth.

Bandejas and víboras benefit strongly from the combination of 15K carbon plus hard EVA. You can hit them with a medium swing and still get depth and heavy spin. At higher speeds, the racket responds even better: the more you press, the more stable and solid it feels. You just need to complete the swing correctly; if you cut the movement, the ball may stay too short in the middle of the court.

On fast exchanges at the net, maneuverability is surprisingly good for a performance racket with some head weight. Ball blocking feels safe, although it is not the most forgiving option for players who only block without preparing the impact. It clearly favors active, offensive net play.

En el remate

In the smash, the Siux Electra Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk is clearly in its zone.

The combination of tear shape, firm core and carbon faces makes it very easy to bring the ball out of court or to get strong bounce off the back glass. You do not need a perfect pro-level technique to get results: if you time the ball decently and complete the swing, the racket does the rest.

On flat smashes, the ball travels very heavy and direct. On topspin smashes, you can produce good kick and angle, especially for players who like to hit from 3/4 court and look for side exits. The racket invites you to play aggressive overheads and rewards every bold decision in finishing points.

If your natural game is based on finishing above the head, this is one of those rackets that make you want to jump and hit more often.

Conclusion

The Siux Electra Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk feels like a racket aimed at advanced players and competitive intermediates who seek a clear balance of power and control, with a firm, precise feel.

Its strengths lie in:

• Excellent performance at the net and in the smash.
• Very solid control on aggressive shots from the back.
• A generous sweet spot for a tear-shaped, pro-oriented mold.
• Stable behavior on blocks and counterattacks.

As for weak points, it is not the most comfortable option for players who prefer very soft sensations or need help in passive defense. It demands participation from the arm and legs, especially when defending close to the glass. Also, players coming from round, very maneuverable rackets may need a small adaptation period to the balance and firmer character.

Overall, this is a serious, offensive racket, ideal for players who like to take the initiative, step up to the net, and finish points with authority, while still keeping enough control to hold rallies and build the point with intention.
