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

“The Speed Team is the placement-first starter in Head's Speed family: a confirmed 365 g even-balanced teardrop with a foam core and fibreglass face, scoring control 74 with civil terms (comfort 73, tolerance 74) and prompt handling (74). Power 66 states the teaching brief. Value 74 is fair, unusually for Head's entry tier. The card is a proper beginner's education: placement before pace, forgiveness throughout, enough structure to build real habits on. For new players who suspect their game will be built on brains, the Speed Team starts them correctly.”

“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.”
