Dunlop Galactica Junior vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Galactica Junior is Dunlop's young-player frame done sensibly: 355 g, head-light, with an EVA core and fibreglass face scoring maneuverability 75 and comfort 73 as the numbers that matter for developing bodies. Control 68 and power 70 give juniors real shots without real consequences (tolerance 74). Value 78 respects the growth-spurt economics. The junior-frame checklist is fully ticked: light enough to swing correctly, kind enough to survive mistakes, cheap enough to replace at the next size up. A straightforwardly correct purchase for developing players.”

“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.”
