Siux Genesis II Lucho Capra Pro

Introduction

The Siux Genesis II Lucho Capra Pro is a tear-shaped racket for intermediate to advanced players who want control with a soft feel.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives a slightly higher balance point than round rackets, so the head feels a bit heavier. That adds weight to your shots but keeps the swing manageable.

You get a good mix of power and control—it's not as head-light as a round racket, but not as demanding as a diamond. The balance feels stable and predictable.

Grip

The handle feels comfortable in the hand, with no sharp edges or weird contours. The grip is standard size, so it suits most players.

Even in a long match, the soft feel reduces vibrations, so your hand and forearm don't tire as quickly. It's a comfortable hold.

Power & Control

Power at 7.7 is solid but not explosive. You'll get decent drive on flat shots, but you can't rely on the racket to boom the ball—your swing does the work. The high rebound helps compensate a bit.

Control at 8.4 is where this racket shines. The soft core and tear shape give you a stable platform for precise angles and drop shots. You can direct the ball exactly where you want.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is good thanks to the medium-soft feel and EVA core. It absorbs shock well, making it easier on your arm. The 355-375 gram weight is noticeable but not heavy if you're used to it.

Speed is high, as the maneuverability score of 8 suggests. The racket feels nimble for its weight, so you can react quickly at the net. It's not the fastest in defense, but it's quicker than most tear shapes.

Materials & Durability

The frame is 100% carbon, which gives it strength and stiffness. The faces are Carbon 12K, a higher-grade carbon that adds durability and a firm response.

The EVA core is resilient and keeps its properties over time. These materials should hold up well to regular play, though rough impacts on the frame could still cause chips.

Analysis

This racket plays like a control-first option. The 8.4 control score means you can place shots with precision, but the 7.7 power rating tells you it won't smash through the court on its own. You'll need to generate pace with your swing.

The rebound is 9.4, which is very high. That makes the ball jump off the face quickly, so you get some extra life on your shots even without full power. The sweet spot is 7.9, solid but not massive—miss the center and you'll feel it.

Maneuverability sits at 8, high for a tear shape. You can whip it into quick reactions at the net, but the 355-375 gram weight means it's not featherlight. It's a balanced trade-off.

The soft feel with the EVA core absorbs hard hits, which helps comfort. But if you're a beginner, this racket demands good technique—the low power and tight sweet spot will punish lazy swings. More advanced players who rely on placement will love it.

Look elsewhere if you want easy power or a huge forgiving face. This is a tool for precise, thoughtful play.
