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

“The standard Cross It Light is the accessible version of adidas's speed thesis: 360 g, even-balanced, Soft EVA under a 24K face, scoring maneuverability 86 with tolerance 82 and comfort 80. The frame arrives everywhere early and forgives nearly everything. Control 78 keeps placement dependable; power 66 states the trade without apology. Value 78 makes it the sensible entry to the Light family. For intermediates whose game lives at the net, players managing arms, and anyone who has diagnosed their losses as lateness rather than softness, this is a genuinely transformative spec. Hitters, walk on by.”

“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.”
