Black Crown Piton Attack 15K Power vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Piton Attack 15K Power is Black Crown's biggest hit: an even-balanced teardrop with an EVA core tuned hot enough for power 88, drives that arrive with intent, and an overhead that ends points. The teardrop shape keeps it marginally more honest than a full diamond, though control 68 says the margin is thin. Comfort 64 and tolerance 62 keep the terms strict, and the net game wants early hands (maneuverability 66). Value 76 is fair for the output. For advanced attackers who like the boutique-brand path, the Piton delivers genuine violence with a little more charm than the mass-market equivalents.”

“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.”
