Prince Rocket vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Prince Rocket 2026 is a round-shaped power racket that leans on its even balance and generous sweet spot to deliver accessible pace without punishing off-centre strikes too harshly. At 355g with a centred balance point, it plays more forgiving than typical power sticks, making it best suited to advanced players transitioning toward an offensive game who still want some margin for error. Prince's padel line remains a tier below the flagship Spanish and Argentinian brands in terms of prestige and refined feel, and at its price point it faces stiff competition from more established names with stronger track records.”

“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.”
