Head Radical Pro vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Radical Pro 2026 is a head-light frame at 260 mm balance and 370 g that shifts its strength toward power rather than where the Radical name traditionally sits. Power at 85 is the headline score, with the foam core and carbon face generating serious pace on overheads despite the light balance. Control at 74 is the trade-off: technique is required. Comfort at 68 is low, so arm-sensitive players should be cautious. PRR score: 84/100.”

“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.”
