Royal Padel M27 Light vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The M27 Light is Royal Padel's homage to effortless handling: 365 g, head-light, with a Carbon 3K face and a character built entirely around being where the ball needs you. Maneuverability 72 and comfort 74 make it a pleasure across long sessions, control 80 keeps placement dependable, and tolerance 73 forgives fast-exchange errors. Power 76 asks you to construct your finishes. The obstacle is value 60: Royal Padel's boutique pricing puts it against frames with stronger cards. Core material documentation is incomplete, so demo first. For devotees of the brand's handmade feel, the charm may justify the premium.”

“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.”
