Our verdict

The Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red is a power-oriented diamond-shaped racket built around Franco Stupaczuk's aggressive baseline game, delivering explosive smash capacity and deep drive pace thanks to its high-density EVA rubber core and carbon fiber frame. The trade-off is a demanding sweet spot and firmer feel that can fatigue arms over long sessions, making it best suited for advanced offensive players with solid technique who prioritize punch over forgiveness. At its price point within the Siux pro line, it offers genuine professional-grade materials and a distinctive aesthetic, representing solid value for the attacking player who wants a signature weapon without paying top-tier brand premiums.

SIUX Electra

Stupa's hybrid line, from ST2 to ST5

The SIUX Electra is built around a specific kind of game. Franco "Stupa" Stupaczuk plays at full intensity at the net, finishes points overhead, and is never out of a rally through the glass. SIUX designed the Electra to match that: a hybrid shape that sits between a control-first round and a pure power diamond, loading up genuine finishing pace while keeping a face soft enough to play touch padel. That balance is harder to achieve than most brands admit, and the Electra has been one of the few rackets in our database to genuinely hold both ends of it.

We have tracked the line across three generations. The 2023 ST2 Pro scored 85 with us and set the Electra template: fast through the air, composed under pressure, with a face that let you redirect a vibora or place a clean bandeja without needing to think twice. The 2024 ST3 arrived with a stiffer hitting surface and better stability when opponents loaded pace at you; the ST3 Stupa scored 87, with Lite editions widening the family to lighter swing weights for improvers. The current ST5 Pro editions, Fire Red and Shadow Stupa, both score 91, the highest result SIUX has achieved in our database.

Each generation follows the same structure: a Stupa Pro edition at the top, designed for attacking players who want to smash overhead and still play a composed bajada off the back wall, with Lite and Go trims below for players building toward that kind of game. The ST generation number is the real thread through the range, and what the Electra has consistently rewarded is a particular construction of points: build through the glass, close at the net, finish overhead.

Which one should you buy?

Go straight to an Electra ST5 Pro edition if your budget allows. Both the Fire Red and the Shadow Stupa score 91 with us, and there is no meaningful performance difference between the two colourways. This is the most complete version of the Electra we have tested: it finishes points overhead with authority, stays composed under pressure in the back-court, and gives you enough feel at the net to play a proper bandeja when the rally demands placement over pace. If you find ST3 Stupa stock at clearance, a PRR 87 result is hard to argue with at a sharp enough discount. It remains a clean, capable racket and the gap to the ST5 barely registers on court when the price is right. The Lite and Go editions are not lesser Electras so much as a different racket in character. Less swing weight, a softer overall response, better suited to players still developing consistency than to attacking players looking to load genuine finishing pace. They are honest options at the right price, but if you are after the full Electra experience, a Pro edition is the one to buy.

  1. 2023

    The generation that established the Electra formula — hybrid shape, fast through the air, with Stupa's Pro edition scoring 85.

  2. 2024

    Stiffer face, better stability under pace. Stupa's ST3 scores 87; Lite editions open the line to lighter swings.

  3. 2026

    The current generation. Fire Red and Shadow Stupa editions score 91 — SIUX's best-ever results on our scale.
