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

“The Extreme Elite is the gentle anomaly of Head's attack family: the diamond silhouette with a foam core and fibreglass face tuned until control 78 leads and comfort 73 with tolerance 74 forgive generously. Power 70 is the honest surprise for anyone shopping by the family name. Maneuverability 73 stays prompt at 365 g. Value 76 is fair. This is the frame for players who like the Extreme's look and Head's build but actually need kindness and placement: a control racket in attack-line clothing. Demo with the card, not the name, and it serves well.”

“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.”
