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

“The Speed Pro is Head's frame for players who think in transitions: an even-balanced 370 g build with a foam core where power 84 and control 74 meet in the useful middle. Drives carry enough weight to push people back, volleys stay tidy, and maneuverability 72 keeps the frame prompt through fast exchanges. Comfort 69 and tolerance 68 are fair, mid-table numbers. Nothing about it is extreme, including the price (value 74). For intermediate attackers who want one frame covering the whole court rather than a specialist tool, the Speed Pro earns its shortlist place through sheer reasonableness.”

“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.”
