Siux Electra ST2 Stupa Pro

Introduction

The Siux Electra ST2 Stupa Pro is a high-performance tear-shaped racket that suits advanced players seeking power with control.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives you a balanced blend of power and control. It's not as head-heavy as a diamond, so you get more maneuverability than pure power rackets.

The balance feels slightly toward the head, which helps generate pace. You'll notice the weight in your swing, but it's manageable for experienced players.

Grip

The grip feels secure and comfortable in hand. The handle length is standard, so you can place both hands for two-handed shots if needed.

Over a long match, the weight might cause some fatigue in your forearm. A good overgrip can help with sweat and comfort.

Power & Control

With a power rating of 9.2, this racket is a powerhouse. You can hit deep, flat shots that push opponents back. The 15K carbon face gives it a stiff, responsive feel on impact.

Control is nearly as high at 9.0, which is impressive for a power-oriented racket. You'll be able to angle your shots and find the lines, but it requires clean contact to hit the sweet spot.

Comfort & Speed

The medium feel and EVA Soft HR3 core absorb some vibration, so it's comfortable on clean hits. It's not the most arm-friendly racket, but it's not harsh either.

The maneuverability score of 8.6 is decent for a racket this heavy. You can react quickly at the net, but it's not as fast as lighter rackets. In defensive situations, you'll need to be ready.

Materials & Durability

The frame is 100% carbon, which is strong and durable. The faces use 15K carbon, a high-quality material that gives a consistent response.

The EVA Soft HR3 core is soft-medium, offering a blend of feel and durability. With proper care, this racket should last.

Analysis

The Siux Electra ST2 Stupa Pro hits hard. With a power score of 9.2, you can end points quickly from the back of the court. Control is also high at 9.0, so you'll place shots with confidence.

That power comes with a trade-off. The sweet spot is solid but not huge (7.3), meaning off-center hits will feel less forgiving. You need to be consistent to get the most out of it.

Maneuverability is good for its weight (8.6), but at 355-375 grams, it's not a light racket. You'll feel it in long matches, especially if you're not used to heavier gear.

The medium feel and EVA Soft HR3 core give you a bit of cushioning, which helps on hard hits. It's not the softest racket out there, but it's not boardy either.

If you're an advanced player with solid technique, this racket will reward you. Beginners or players with slower swings should look elsewhere – you'll struggle with the weight and small sweet spot.
