Siux Electra padel rackets 

What are the features of Siux Electra padel rackets? 

Siux was founded relatively recently, in 2012, to capitalise on the growing hype around the sport. The Spanish company quickly became popular with the wider public thanks to several iconic rackets, such as the Diablo, which is still available. Over time, Siux became a major name in the padel racket market, as well as in other products such as clothing and padel bags. Today, its status as an influential brand is reflected in its sponsorship of numerous professional padel players, showing that Siux has a place in the global top 10. 

Padel aficionados will recognise Siux champions such as Argentinian Franco Stupaczuk, one of the leading figures in global padel today and world top 5, as well as Sanyo Gutiérrez, an iconic player on the circuit. The presence of Patty Llaguno is also noteworthy, as she is such an emblematic player on the international circuit. Thanks to this team, Siux continues to grow in popularity and their models are selling more and more—nothing but positive news for a brand that is barely 10 years old. 

With Franco Stupaczuk joining as brand ambassador, the make took the opportunity to launch a brand-new range named Electra. In just 2 years and 2 models, it has won over fans thanks to its unique technologies. Thanks to this and its 2 variants catering to all playing styles, the Electra—also known as ST1 or ST2 depending on the year—is one of the most popular rackets on the market. 

Siux Electra padel rackets, what are the advantages?

The Siux padel rackets in the Electra range therefore come in 3 distinct models, covering the widest possible range of playing styles. These are the 2023 models; only the standard ST2 also had a 2022 edition, called the ST1. The standard Siux Electra ST2 is a well-rounded racket with 15k carbon in its faces. Although very stiff, it balances this with ultra soft foam inside, making it versatile and fairly unique. Its teardrop shape makes it the complete all-round racket. 

Its first variant is the Siux Electra ST2 Hybrid, which differs slightly in its carbon density. Indeed, instead of the ST2's 15k carbon, which is quite stiff, the ST2 Hybrid features a 12k carbon, which is more flexible and allows for better control and slightly increased comfort. However, the other characteristics are quite similar between the ST2 and the ST2 Hybrid, which use the same foam, the same shape, and the same technologies. 

The 2nd Electra is the Siux Electra ST2 Control which, as its name suggests, focuses on ball control. It retains many features of its classic ST2 sister: ultra soft foam, 15k carbon, same innovations… But the major change lies in the shape. A round mould is favoured here to balance the weight towards the handle and thus improve the pala's manoeuvrability. Ideal for players who prefer defending and lobbing.

Several interesting technologies are integrated into the Electra ST2. First of all, the grip. In collaboration with ShockOut, Siux has integrated a special spiral grip that fits the fingers perfectly and provides a better hold, much like Bullpadel's Hesacore. Please note, it is always recommended to apply an overgrip on top.

Also born from the partnership with ShockOut, Siux also features vibration dampeners in the holes of its rackets. These accessories, sold separately and adaptable to virtually all rackets on the market, serve to reduce vibrations in the elbow caused by strikes. Handy for cushioning the feel of high-density carbon and preventing injuries such as tendinitis. 

How to care for your Siux Electra racket? 

It is very important to look after your racket and all your padel equipment. The best way to protect a racket is to avoid exposing it to too many temperature changes, especially sudden ones. A bag with a thermal racket compartment is therefore the best option for shielding it from those changes. Siux padel bags have one, helping you protect your belongings, especially your racket. They also match Siux padel clothing, so look your best on court with this Spanish brand! 

Are Siux Electra padel rackets suitable for all players?

Siux Electra rackets cannot be considered rackets for all types of players. Indeed, despite the technologies that make the rackets comfortable, the stiffness of the carbon is not suitable for beginners. However, they remain accessible to certain intermediate players because the playing comfort and pala hardness are well mitigated by the foam and vibration dampeners in particular, unlike high-end rackets from other brands.
