Dunlop Aero Star vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Aero Star is Dunlop's budget bruiser: an EVA build producing power 82, genuine violence at working money, with the terms that always accompany it: control 66, comfort 64, tolerance 63. Specification is incomplete, weight included, so check the specimen. Value 76 keeps the arithmetic attractive for what it is. The honest framing: this frame hits like the mid-market's angriest options and refines nothing, which suits exactly one buyer, the conditioned attacker on a strict budget who middles the ball. Everyone else will find the Galactica line's balance a far better Dunlop.”

“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.”
