“The Optimus 5 Air is Siux's genuinely entry-level option - a light, round, EVA-cored racket with a plain fibreglass face, built for unisex accessibility rather than any specific edge. There's no pretence of attacking output here; it's a simple, comfortable, easy-to-swing first racket at a genuinely low price.”
“The Starvie Kenta 2026 is a diamond frame with an EVA foam core and Carbon 12K face, built for players who want directional control from a head-shape that still carries weight. Control at 84 leads the profile. Tolerance at 76 and comfort at 75 confirm a forgiving, arm-friendly character. Power at 71 is the honest trade-off. PRR score: 83/100.”
