[caption id="attachment_10450" align="alignnone" width="798"] Siux SX5 for him and for her[/caption] Today we talk about one of the most recognized models of the brand Siux Padel, the SX series. This year they are in their fifth version. The new Siux SX5 maintains the same essence as always, a version composed of two rackets, one of which is exclusively dedicated to women. Don't miss a single detail of this review prepared by Street Padel. We will examine the new features of this version, its materials and technologies.

Everything you need to know about the new Siux SX5 and Siux SX5 Woman

The first time an SX racket came out was in 2014, when the SX1 was presented. A control racket that immediately became very recognizable thanks to its attractive design in red, white and black. After this version, the acceptance by fans continued to grow, which allowed it to be renewed each season. We have officially arrived at the SX5 version, which includes some improvements to continue satisfying even the most demanding players.

New features compared to previous versions

As mentioned, the Siux SX5 and SX5 Woman rackets retain the essence that made them famous and reuse the materials from the previous version. However, there are some small changes, the main one being their finish. The current model has a matte finish with a sandpaper effect. This finish improves the quality of the effects, with a relief that increases the friction of the ball on the hitting areas.

For intermediate level players

Both the SX5 and the SX5 Woman are intended for intermediate level players. Perfect for those who want to improve their level and find a playing style suited to their skills. However, pay attention to the type of game, an essential characteristic in which the two rackets differ. The SX5 is a versatile racket that offers a great balance between control and power. To do this, a slightly higher balance is used to make the head heavier. The versatility of this racket makes it suitable for a greater number of player types. In contrast, the SX5 Woman is a control racket, its lower balance concentrates the weight in the bridge area, improving maneuverability.

100% carbon composition

Structurally speaking, both rackets are identical. They are made with very resistant materials, among other things, we are talking about materials rarely found in an intermediate level racket. First, we find a 100% carbon frame, with a solid tubular that ensures strength and stability. As for the hitting areas, they are made of highly resistant carbon fiber. This fiber produces a slightly more solid feel than fiberglass. This also results in a slight increase in attack power. However, this hardness is balanced by the softness of its core.

New high-density EVA Soft rubber

Inside, the new SX5s are equipped with a high-density EVA Soft rubber. This rubber has the well-known properties of EVA foam to absorb impacts and reduce vibrations. Nevertheless, as mentioned above, it balances perfectly with carbon fiber to also offer more power and excellent ball output.

An impeccable design for the Siux SX5

As we know and have said many times, the eye also wants its share. Indeed, it is the aesthetics of a racket that attracts our attention and invites us to want to know it in depth. That's why Siux has kept the essence of the SX4 design. We can observe a differentiation from the SX5 to the SX5 Woman, so that each has its own distinctive feature. Both have a black background, the men's version combines it with red while the women's version does so with blue and fuchsia colors.
