Siux Astra 2.0 Attack

Introduction

The Siux Astra 2.0 Attack is a high-power diamond racket for aggressive players who can handle its weight and balance.

Shape & Balance

The diamond shape puts the weight high in the head, making the balance very head-heavy. This increases the swing weight, giving you momentum for powerful strikes.

As a result, the racket feels heavier than the grams suggest. You’ll notice it in quick volleys and transition shots, as the head lags behind.

Grip

The grip is comfortable in hand, with a standard handle that allows a solid hold. Over a long match, the weight can tire your forearm and wrist—make sure you have strong grip strength. You might want to use an overgrip for extra comfort.

Power & Control

The 8.2 power score tells the truth: this racket launches the ball. On smashes and hard drives you get plenty of pace with minimal effort.

Control, however, scores a middling 6.9, so precision shots require a short, deliberate swing. The high sweet spot (7.4) helps, but you’ll make more errors if you don’t keep your shape.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is okay for a diamond racket; the medium feel and Soft EVA EHR core soak up some vibration. But the heavy weight means you’ll feel strain in the shoulder after extended play.

Speed is not its strength—maneuverability sits at 7.1, which is just solid. In fast exchanges, you need to commit early and use your wrist to get it moving.

Materials & Durability

The frame is fiberglass, which is durable but not top-tier. That keeps the price down, but you won’t get the stiffness of a carbon frame.

The faces use 3K carbon, which gives a firm hitting surface that holds up well to regular play. The Soft EVA EHR core provides a good balance of comfort and output, but it will soften over time with heavy use.

Analysis

With a diamond shape and a hefty 355-375g, this racket is built for one thing: power. The 8.2 power score is real—you’ll feel it on smashes and flat shots. But control drops to 6.9, so you’ll need to focus on placement to keep the ball in play.

That heavy head means it swings slower, which hurts maneuverability (7.1). You’ll need to be set up early to get it around. The sweet spot feels solid at 7.4, but missing it is harsh, as you’d expect from a diamond.

It’s not a racket for beginners or anyone not used to a heavy, head-heavy feel. Your arm will work overtime, and your technique has to be clean. If you can handle it, the reward is massive power and a decent rebound (7.7) for the aggressive game.

But if you value defense or a softer touch, look elsewhere. This is a weapon, not a all-rounder. Play with it when you’re fresh and ready to attack, not when you’re tired or on the defensive.
