The 2020 collection of Siux padel rackets continues expanding. Now comes a pair of padel rackets from one of the most loved series by players, the Siux SX5. Padel Nuestro presents the detailed analysis of these two new padel rackets, to know it in depth and discover if it is your ideal padel racket.

IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE TWO NEW SIUX SX5

This is the fifth installment of the Siux SX series. In the 2019 season, these padel rackets were very well accepted within the intermediate player sector. For 2020, they have undergone some small changes, with the aim of improving everything that was already incredible. Specifically, the latest version of the SX is in its finish and EVA core, but it preserves its essence.

PLAYER TYPE FOR EACH ONE OF THE SX5 SIUX PADEL RACKETS

The Siux SX5 is a polyvalent padel racket for intermediate level players. This padel racket is characterized by its great versatility. Its levels of control and power are well matched to suit any style of play. This versatility is perfect for those players who are looking to take their game to the next level and define their playing style. The Siux SX5 features a round format for a wider sweet spot and a medium-high balance for improved power.

The Siux SX5 Woman is the female version. Unlike the men’s version, the Woman is a control padel racket, focused on comfortable and manageable play. This padel racket has a round format and a low balance, concentrated in the fist area. These characteristics improve the comfort and the handling of the padel racket.

A HIGH-RESISTANT CARBON FRAME

The structure of both padel rackets is resistant and starts with a 100% carbon tubular to form the frame. This is the first part to guarantee more durability and better wear resistance. Besides, the carbon results in a more stable structure that facilitates the application of power in the hits.

THE BEST CARBON FIBRE FOR FACES

The layouts, on the other hand, are made of a top-quality carbon fibre. This zone is important because it is the one that comes into direct contact with the ball. The aim of the carbon faces is to provide a slightly more solid feel, which allows you to hit with more power. Unlike glass fibre, carbon is a bit more solid. Besides, its top-quality guarantees more durability and resistance to wear and tear caused by ball impacts.

Another key aspect of the faces is that they have a matte finish with a sandpaper effect. In fact, this is one of the main changes from the SX4. This finish increases the ball’s grip with the faces, to optimize the effects on cut hits.

A FASCINATING HIT WITH ITS EVA CORE

The control and power of a padel racket is born from the inside, in its core. The Siux SX5 and Siux SX5 Woman have a high density EVA Soft rubber core. The SX4 version had a laminated EVA core, for the most recent version, the core hardness has been increased. This core allows for a more balanced hit, with good ball output and power levels. Its hardness makes it easier for power players to hit. However, its foam does not lose its properties and absorbs most of the vibrations that are generated with each hit.

ELEGANCE IN THEIR DESIGNS

It is a fact that the design is an important part of a padel racket, the players pay much attention to the aesthetic details. The Siux SX5 has a design that can be defined as elegant. Both padel rackets have a base with a classic black finish and are distinguished by a particular colour. The SX5 combines black with red, while the SX5 Woman combines black with blue and fuchsia.
