“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.”
“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.”
