Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk vs Wilson Defy Pro V1 SE 2

“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 Wilson Defy Pro V1 SE 2 is a round-to-teardrop hybrid that attempts to balance offensive punch with playability, but its identity feels somewhat undefined compared to more specialized competitors in its class. The feel is moderately stiff with a firm response on contact, making it best suited for intermediate players transitioning toward aggressive play who want some power without fully sacrificing control. Wilson's padel line still lags behind Tier 1 Spanish brands in materials refinement and court reputation, and at its price point there are sharper options available.”
