Siux Electra ST2 Control

Introduction

Siux Electra ST2 Control is a round, control-oriented racket for players who value precision and a large sweet spot.

Shape & Balance

The round shape puts the balance slightly towards the handle, making it head-light and easier to swing. You'll feel less weight at the top, which helps with control shots and quick changes of direction.

The round shape also means a larger sweet spot, so you get fewer mishits. This racket stays stable and predictable, even when you're not perfectly centered.

Grip

The grip feels comfortable from the start, with no pressure points. It has standard sizing, so you can add an overgrip if you prefer a thicker handle.

Over a long match, the head-light balance helps reduce arm fatigue, which is a plus for players with later sessions. The handle stays dry and secure, even when you're sweating.

Power & Control

The power score of 7.6 is solid but not overwhelming. You'll need to time your shots well and use your body rotation to get depth, but the racket rewards a clean technique.

Control at 8.8 is the standout. You can place the ball exactly where you want, with a soft touch offered by the EVA core. It's perfect for drop shots and volley placement, making it a favorite for tactical players.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is a strong suit here. The EVA core absorbs vibrations well, so your arm feels good even on off-center hits. It's a comfortable racket for long matches.

With a maneuverability score of 8.9, it moves fast through the air. You can react quickly at the net and transition between shots without feeling sluggish. This speed also helps in defensive situations, letting you reach awkward balls.

Materials & Durability

The frame is 100% carbon, which provides a good balance of rigidity and durability. It should hold up well against frame hits and a hard season of play.

The faces are 15K carbon, which contributes to the racket's stiffness and control feel. The EVA core is reliable and maintains its properties well over time, so this racket should serve you for a good while.

Analysis

This racket does exactly what its name says: it controls the ball. The round shape and EVA core give you a predictable response on every shot, and the 8.8 control score shows in tight angles and long rallies.

It's not about power. The 7.6 power rating means you'll need to generate pace yourself, but you'll get rewarded with placement. The high sweet spot (8.6) forgives off-center hits, and the rebound (8.3) feels lively without being wild.

The maneuverability (8.9) makes it easy to whip around your body for quick reactions at the net. It's a joy for defensive players who like to block and redirect.

If you're a big hitter who relies on smash power, look elsewhere. This racket won't add power to your game, but it will improve your consistency.

It suits intermediate to advanced players who value strategy over brute force. Beginners can use it too, as long as they don't expect easy power.
