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

“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 Defy Pro V1 wears a head-heavy diamond silhouette but plays a subtler game: the foam core and 15K carbon face are tuned so control 82 leads power 76, with the head mass lending authority to blocks, lobs and counters rather than raw smashes. Comfort 73 and tolerance 73 make it kind for the shape, and the strike is composed rather than fierce. Maneuverability 72 is decent with early preparation. Value 70 reflects Wilson's premium habit. This suits advanced counter-punchers who like mass behind their precision: point it at pure attackers or pure defenders and it will disappoint both.”
