Bullpadel Vertex 04 Comfort vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Vertex 04 Comfort answered a question the standard 04 kept raising: what if the attack came without the ache? Multilayer foam softens the strike to comfort 76 and tolerance 76 while power 80 keeps a respectable overhead, and control 76 holds the middle. Maneuverability 72 is steady. As old stock, it now sits at value 82, the best number on its card and one of the best in the comfort-attack niche. For intermediates who want Bullpadel's attacking posture at sustainable, everyday terms, this remains one of the smartest quiet buys in the catalogue.”

“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.”
