Kombat Fuji 2026 By Manu Martin vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Kombat Fuji 2026 by Manu Martin is a mid-range diamond-shaped racket aimed at intermediate players seeking a balance between power and touch, but it lacks the refinement and precision engineering of comparable offerings from established brands at a similar price point. The feel is somewhat stiff and unforgiving on off-centre hits, making it best suited for players who strike cleanly and consistently rather than those still developing their technique. Kombat remains a niche brand with limited global reputation, and at its price point it faces stiff competition from more proven alternatives that deliver better overall performance and longevity.”

“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.”
