Siux Pegasus Grafeno Black

Introduction

The Siux Pegasus Grafeno Black is a tear-shaped racket for intermediate to advanced players who want a balanced mix of power and control.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives you a balanced blend of power and control, with the sweet spot slightly higher toward the center. This makes it easier to hit consistent shots without sacrificing too much power.

You'll notice the weight is head-heavy, but not extreme. The balance favors control rather than pure brute force, so swings feel smooth and controlled, not whip-like.

Grip

The grip is standard Siux, with a comfortable feel that doesn't slip even when your hands get sweaty. It's not overly cushioned, but it's fine for most players.

Over a long match, fatigue is manageable due to the racket's balanced feel, though if you have a weak wrist, the weight might tire you a bit. Still, it's not a racket that causes arm strain.

Power & Control

With a power score of 8.1, you get decent pace on your smashes, but it's not a cannon. The control score of 8.9 is where it really excels—placements on the lines are easier than with a pure power racket.

This means you can play smart, aggressive padel without going for broke every shot. The balance is perfect for players who like to set up points rather than just hit hard.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is solid thanks to the medium feel and EVA Soft core, which absorbs vibration well. You won't feel harsh impacts, even on mis-hits.

Speed is good with a maneuverability of 8.3—quick enough for defensive lobs and fast reactions at the net, but not as fast as a lighter racket. It's a fair trade-off for the stability it provides.

Materials & Durability

The frame is made of bitubular carbon and Kevlar, which adds strength without making it too stiff. The faces use 24K carbon and graphene, which helps with power and durability.

This combo should hold up well against hard hits and scrapes against the walls. It's not indestructible, but it's built to last for a regular player.

Analysis

This racket sits right in the middle of power and control, which is rare. The tear shape gives you a good sweet spot and decent power, but it doesn't feel like a wild beast. Control is where it shines—you can place the ball exactly where you want, especially on volleys and bandejas.

The rebound score of 9.2 is the standout number here. The ball comes off the face fast, which helps on defense and when you need to get the ball deep. But because the feel is medium, you still get a bit of feedback, so it's not like hitting with a board. The sweet spot is forgiving at 8.4, which means off-center hits won't punish you too much.

Power at 8.1 is solid but not overwhelming. You won't smash through opponents with raw pace, but you'll get enough depth to keep them back. Maneuverability at 8.3 is good for a racket this weight, so you can react quickly at the net. It's not lightning-fast, but it's not a log either.

Who should look elsewhere? If you're a beginner, this weight (355-375g) could feel heavy and slow you down. Also, if you live for pure power—like a diamond-shaped racket—this might not satisfy you. But for the all-court player who values consistency, it's a strong choice.
