Quad Fox vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The Quad Fox is a lesser-known diamond shape racket that sits in a crowded mid-market space without a clearly differentiated identity, offering a blend of moderate power and control that satisfies neither attacking nor defensive specialists particularly well. The feel is somewhat stiff and unforgiving on off-centre hits, making it better suited to intermediate players with consistent technique who aren't yet ready to invest in a premium brand. Without confirmed year, brand pedigree, or market reputation to back it up, the value proposition remains questionable against established alternatives at similar price points.”

“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.”
