Franco Stupaczuk is the latest addition to the Siux Padel team, after having concluded a long contract with Star Vie.

A weapon for advanced and professional players

Before going into the technical details of the new Siux Electra, it is necessary to talk about the most suitable player for it. This racket belongs to Siux's WPT Players range, which includes the rackets used by World Padel Tour players. This means it is a racket for advanced and professional players. If you are looking for a new racket for your tournaments, this is undoubtedly one of the best options for the 2022 season. In terms of playing style, it is a versatile racket. Its objective is to find an exact balance between control and power, for a more versatile game. With it, players can go on the attack, but also stay at the back of the court to resist opponents' attacks.

Features and technologies of Stupa's new racket

It's time to get into what concerns us, the technical characteristics of the 2022 Stupa racket. First, a hybrid format can be identified, which combines characteristics of a round racket and a diamond racket. This is the most suitable format for versatility, to perfectly balance attack and defense. In addition, the racket has a medium balance, its weights are in the center and are not loaded towards the head or the grip, again, keeping versatility in mind. Carbon has been the material chosen for its composition. The frame is made of a double carbon tubular, a very solid and resistant piece, which guarantees durability against impacts. But the most relevant thing is in the faces, with a 12K carbon fiber. This fiber, despite being carbon, is one of Siux's most elastic, providing more comfort on impact, as well as ball exit and rebound. Siux technology allows this fiber to be flexible but also very resistant. For its part, the core of the racket is made of a Black Eva High Recovery rubber, which has several notable details. This rubber has a slightly higher density than the classic Eva Soft, meaning it is a little harder. However, it has incredible recovery speed. This allows it to improve the ball's momentum at the moment of contact. In addition, this rapid recovery allows it to be ready for the next shot. Finally, and to top it off in the best way, the Siux Electra has Shockout anti-vibrators incorporated. These are two small silicone-like cylinders that are inserted into the holes in the faces of the racket. Their objective is to absorb the vibrations generated when hitting the ball to avoid discomfort and elbow injuries.
