Adidas Cross It Light 3.4 vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Adidas Cross It Light 3.4 is a lightweight, round-shaped entry-level racket built for ease of use and arm comfort over long beginner sessions, but it sacrifices notable power and precision in the process. Its foam core and forgiving face make it accessible for absolute newcomers learning positioning and basic strokes, though the build quality and materials feel underwhelming relative to its price when stacked against competitors like Bullpadel's beginner range. Players just starting out will appreciate the low swing weight and forgiveness, but they may quickly outgrow it once they develop any technical consistency.”

“Franco Stupaczuk's Shadow Red ST5 is built to attack: power 90 with control 78 is a proper first-strike profile, and the confirmed even balance at 365 g explains why it feels quicker between shots than its hitting power implies. Blocks and counters stay manageable, then the same frame turns a short lob into a finished point. The firm side is unavoidable: comfort 67 and tolerance 66 mean mishits are felt and punished. Beyond balance and weight, full spec for this colourway is unconfirmed, so try before you buy. For aggressive all-court players it is a convincing signature frame.”
