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

“The RP Whip Poly is Royal Padel at its most traditional: a substantial 385 g frame, tuned head-light so the mass works for you rather than against you. The strike is deep and cushioned, comfort 72 despite the heft, and power 82 comes from that mass moving through the ball rather than from stiffness. Control 73 and tolerance 70 are fair. The costs: maneuverability 66 means fast exchanges need anticipation, core documentation is incomplete, and value 66 carries the boutique premium. For strong players who like a heavy, planted, old-school feel, nothing mainstream replicates this; lighter-armed players should demo with honesty.”

“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.”
