Crown Gladius

The Gladius is Crown's keen entry frame: a Black EVA core under an 18K face in an even 370 g build, scoring power 76 with fair terms (comfort 69, tolerance 68) and honest handling (70). Control 68 wants developing discipline. Value 78 is strong for the face spec. The 18K weave at entry money is the small brand's calling card, as with its Gladius Force sibling, giving improving attackers feedback quality the big brands reserve for higher shelves. The usual small-brand asterisk applies; the arithmetic answers it as usual. A credible budget find.

Siux Electra Pro 2026 Fire Red

The Electra Pro in Fire Red is a lot of racket for the intermediate bracket it is aimed at: power 90 from the EVA core and Carbon 12K face means short lobs get finished properly, and the even balance keeps the frame from feeling like a sledgehammer between shots. Control 78 is trustworthy on drives. The warnings are the usual ones at this output level: comfort 67 is firm for players still building technique, and tolerance 66 will punish the mishits that intermediates naturally produce. If you are an improving attacker with sound basics, it is a thrilling step up; if your contact is still streaky, demo first.
