Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk vs Vibor A Titan 3K

“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.”

“The Vibor-A Titan 3K Black is a straightforward entry-level hybrid that leans toward power generation through its EVA core and even balance, giving beginners a reasonably accessible swing without excessive arm fatigue over longer sessions. The 3K carbon construction adds some rigidity that aids smash pace but limits the nuanced touch that progressing players will eventually crave, making off-centre shots feel somewhat punishing. It suits complete newcomers who want a lightly aggressive racket at a modest price point, but offers little to distinguish it from the crowded budget padel market.”
