Joma ST-Blast Juanlu Esbri Silver/Black vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Joma ST-Blast Juanlu Esbri is a round-to-teardrop hybrid that leans toward attack while retaining moderate accessibility, built around Joma's collaboration with Spanish professional Juanlu Esbri but without the elite-tier feel of top-shelf offerings from Head or Bullpadel. The carbon layering delivers decent pace on volleys and smashes but the sweet spot is somewhat unforgiving, making it best suited for intermediate club players seeking a step up in aggression who don't mind sacrificing some touch. At its mid-range price point it offers reasonable value, though Joma's rackets generally trail the leading brands in overall polish and after-game arm comfort during long sessions.”

“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.”
