Royal Padel Rp 36 Aniversario Poly vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“The RP 36 Aniversario Poly celebrates thirty-six years of Royal Padel's stubborn craft: a 380 g teardrop around the house polyethylene core, striking deep and elastic with power 84, the strongest number the poly line produces. Comfort 70 keeps the tradition of softness under mass. The familiar costs apply: maneuverability 64 wants deliberate positioning, control 69 wants early targets, and core documentation is incomplete in our records. Value 72 is decent for a commemorative build. For poly devotees this is the one to own from recent years; for newcomers to the feel, demo the standard Whip first.”

“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.”
