Siux rackets: which range suits your playing style?

Choose a Siux padel racket to suit your playing style. The Fenix and Pegasus are built for attack, the Electra and Diablo for all-round play, the Valkiria for manoeuvrability and the new Obsidian for control. Each range comes in Pro and Elite versions, while the Beat Play and Tsunami Go ranges support beginners. Selection updated in November 2026.

Which Siux racket suits your playing style?

Siux arranges its range from the most attack-oriented to the most control-oriented. The more attack-oriented the range, the firmer its foam and the more demanding its racket.

You’re an attacking player

The Fenix is Leo Augsburger’s diamond-shaped racket; he’s one of the circuit’s biggest smash hitters. Head-heavy balance, EVA Hard foam: it delivers on smashes out by 3 and by 4, but demands a fast swing and sound technique. Álex Chozas’s Pegasus keeps the hard foam in a more manoeuvrable teardrop shape: power, with a racket that’s easier to move at the net.

You play all over the court

The Electra is the racket of Franco Stupaczuk, a world top-10 player. With its teardrop shape and EVA Mid foam, it defends reliably and accelerates powerfully at the net: it’s the most versatile Siux for a player who attacks without neglecting defence. Tino Libaak’s Diablo shares the same foundation but has a softer feel, for players who defend and attack in equal measure.

You’re looking for manoeuvrability or control

Sofía Araújo’s Valkiria is the lightest in the range, at 340 to 360 g compared with 355 to 375 g for the others. Designed for women players, it suits anyone who prioritises swing speed and comfort. The Obsidian, new for 2027, is the Siux racket for control.

Which Siux racket is best for a beginner or intermediate player?

For beginners, the Beat Play range is the brand’s easiest to use. Its fibreglass face and soft foam forgive off-centre hits. It comes in Control for defence, Hybrid for all-round play and Hybrid Air, the lightest and most comfortable option, ideal for a first racket.

To progress, the Tsunami Go range takes over with the same three versions and an optimised hole pattern. The Tsunami Go Hybrid is a good choice for regular players who want more feel from their shots.

As your level improves, even if you don’t compete, move up to the Elite versions. They share the Pro mould and shape, but have a softer, more forgiving Carbon 3K Comfort face, at around €90 less than the retail price of the Pro versions. The stiffer Pro versions, with a 3D finish for spin, are aimed at advanced and competitive players.

Good to know: the numbers used by some retailers, such as « Electra ST5 » or « Fenix Elite 6 », aren’t Siux product names. The brand names its rackets by range, version and year: Electra Pro 2027.

Obsidian: how good is the new Siux for 2027?

The Obsidian is new to the 2027 collection and was released on 22 October 2026. It replaces the Trilogy, previously the brand’s only round racket. Siux has chosen a new teardrop mould with a low balance and EVA Soft foam. The idea: retain the control and forgiveness of a round racket while adding more energy to your shots.

It’s the softest Siux in the Pro range, and the Obsidian Elite is softer still. It’s aimed at placement-focused players who build points from the back of the court, and at those who play with a round racket and want to progress without losing a familiar feel. It isn’t associated with any pro player: it’s a racket designed for club players. Its weak point is limited punch on the smash, so you’ll need to generate that power yourself.

What bags, clothing and balls does Siux offer?

Siux was the official bag supplier of the World Padel Tour in 2020, and it shows in its bags. The 60-litre Tour and 52-litre Trail racket bags, along with the 31-litre Nomad backpack, have an insulated compartment that protects your racket from temperature changes. All have a separate shoe pocket. The Electra X Stupa and Fenix X Leo signature series are already available in 2027 versions.

The clothing is designed for players: the Electra X Stupa collection uses highly breathable, stretchy fabric with an antibacterial treatment. As for balls, the moderately pressurised Neo is made for outdoor play and warm conditions. The more pressurised Neo Speed plays faster indoors and in cold weather.

FAQ

What is the best Siux racket?

The best Siux racket depends on your playing style. For attacking, the Fenix, the only diamond-shaped racket in the range, is the most explosive. For an all-round game, choose Stupaczuk’s Electra or Libaak’s Diablo. For manoeuvrability, choose the Valkiria. For control, choose the new Obsidian. For beginners, the fibreglass Beat Play range is the most forgiving.

Which Siux racket is best for a beginner?

To get started, choose the Beat Play range: a fibreglass face, soft foam and plenty of forgiveness. The Beat Play Hybrid Air is the lightest and most comfortable, ideal for a first racket. The Beat Play Control helps with defence. Once you play more often, the Tsunami Go Hybrid helps you progress further.

What’s the difference between Siux Pro and Siux Elite?

The Pro and Elite share the same mould and shape. The Pro has a stiffer carbon face and a 3D finish that grips the ball, for advanced and competitive players. The Elite has a softer Carbon 3K Comfort face that’s more forgiving on off-centre hits. Its retail price is around €90 lower.

What’s the difference between the Siux Obsidian and the Trilogy?

The Obsidian replaces the Trilogy in the 2027 collection. The Trilogy was round, the only one of its kind from the brand. The Obsidian switches to a low-balance teardrop shape, with a new mould and EVA Soft foam. It retains the Trilogy’s control and forgiveness while adding more energy to your shots. The Trilogy remains a good end-of-line deal.

Which Siux racket is best for a sensitive arm?

If you have a sensitive arm, choose a racket with soft foam: the Obsidian Elite or Valkiria Elite, both with EVA Soft and a Comfort face. For a very sensitive arm, the Beat Play Hybrid Air is the softest racket from the brand. Avoid the Fenix and Pegasus, which have hard foam. If the pain persists, consult a healthcare professional before playing again.
