Dunlop Tristorm Pro vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Dunlop Tristorm Pro 2026 is a teardrop control racket that leans into consistency over explosiveness, with its EVA core delivering a predictable, medium-soft feel that helps beginners develop clean ball contact. The head-heavy balance adds a bit of natural swing weight that compensates for the control-oriented frame, giving entry-level players a hint of depth on drives without overwhelming feedback. Players stepping into padel who want a forgiving, brand-backed option will find it serviceable, though at its price point there are competing beginner rackets offering better overall feel and sweet spot size.”

“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.”
