Prince Premier V2 vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Premier V2 continues Prince's even-tempered padel return: a medium EVA core in a round build scoring a level 72/72 split with civil terms (comfort 70, tolerance 70) and honest handling (72). Weight documentation is incomplete, so check the specimen. Value 74 is fair. Like the Premier AHS, the V2's virtue is its refusal to fight anyone: dependable everywhere, dramatic nowhere, priced sensibly. For club players who want one undramatic frame and enjoy the heritage badge, it serves; between the two Premiers, the practical rule as ever is the week's better price.”

“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.”
