Head Extreme Edge vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Extreme Edge Black is Head's budget blunt instrument: a 375 g foam-core build with a carbon-fibreglass face producing power 76 against the loosest control in the family (64) and strict terms (comfort 64, tolerance 63). Value 76 is fair for the pace. The Edge tier strips the Extreme recipe to its violence: no refinement budget, all output. For improving attackers who want the family name and maximum hit at minimum spend, it obliges with the standard warnings attached. The Extreme Team, one shelf up, buys back the manners for modest extra money.”

“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.”
