Siux Pegasus Elite 4

Pros

• ✓The EVA Pro core gives you a dry, dead-stop response with zero trampoline effect: on the smash off the 3-metre line the ball comes out flat and controlled, without that spring-back that throws off your contact height The teardrop shape with medium balance keeps the weight distributed enough to close out a vibora at mid-height without arriving late for the next volley The rough, sandpaper-like surface genuinely bites into cut shots: the bandeja drops with extra bite and the forehand lift grabs spin without needing to overswing The 3K carbon face brings enough stiffness for flat, penetrating shots, but with a touch more give than a tighter weave, which helps on blocked volleys The 38mm frame and the 355-375g weight range let you pick your setup depending on whether you want more stability on the block or quicker hands at net

Cons

• ✗Ball exit is short: on a defensive lob from the back of the court, if you don't put your arm into it, the ball dies mid-court and you hand over the point The combo of a hard rubber core and a contained sweet spot punishes off-centre hits toward the tip, with noticeable vibration and a real loss of depth On a low wall exit, with little space and no time to set up, it demands a clean, committed swing — it doesn't forgive improvised contact That dry feel can get uncomfortable over long matches if you're coming from softer cores, especially on the elbow after a lot of bandejas

The Siux Pegasus Elite 4 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. Its 355-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

3K carbon face, EVA Pro core and a 38mm profile: the Siux Pegasus Elite 4 lands as a 355-375g teardrop racket with a sandpaper-rough finish and medium balance. On paper it's a hybrid racket. On court it plays like a tool for someone who already brings their own racket-head speed.

Teardrop shape meets EVA Pro: how the Pegasus Elite 4 balances power and control

The teardrop shape places the sweet spot just above the geometric centre — enough to add leverage on the smash without pushing the mass as high as a diamond shape would. Paired with medium balance, you get a racket that's quick to set up but doesn't run out of steam when you swing through it.

The EVA Pro core is what defines the touch. It's a hard, low-compression rubber that stores almost no energy: what goes in comes out, and it comes out flat. That's why the flat smash flies on such a predictable line, and why the ball doesn't spring away on you when you're blocking an aggressive volley.

The 3K carbon faces add structural stiffness without going to the extreme of a tighter weave. There's a small hint of flex on contact that softens blocked volleys and stops the racket from feeling completely lifeless.

The 38mm frame rounds out the package: a classic profile, more maneuverable at net than wider frames, with a smaller hitting zone but a quicker swing path.

Who is the Siux Pegasus Elite 4 built for?

It's aimed at advanced players and demanding intermediates with solid, established technique. The mix of a hard core and contained ball exit means you have to bring your own arm speed: clean ball-strikers get precision and power that scales with effort, while players who still arrive late on the ball will find a dry, unforgiving racket.

Siux Pegasus Elite 4 specs

Shot by shot: where it shines and where it pushes back

1. **Smash off the 3 and flat power shots.** This is its best territory. The teardrop shape gives leverage, the EVA Pro core doesn't deform, and the ball comes out with no parasitic curve. You can go for the back glass with confidence.
2. **Bandeja and vibora.** The rough texture really bites on cut shots and brings the ball down sooner than you'd expect. The vibora comes out with tight spin, though it demands a centred hit to keep its depth.
3. **Volleys.** Medium balance and the 38mm frame let you react fast in quick exchanges. The blocked volley stays short and low — great for a pressing net game.
4. **Wall exits.** This is where the limits show. With a very low ball and little room to work with, the short ball exit demands a full, committed swing; a half-hearted flick just won't get there.
5. **Defensive lob.** It needs arm behind it. This isn't a racket that pushes the ball for you from the back when you're off balance.

Control first, power on demand: reading its all-round character

This is an all-round padel racket tipped toward precision. Power is there, but it's power you have to go looking for, not power that's handed to you: it shows up when you accelerate and disappears when you ease off.

That logic suits a rhythm-changing game. You can build the point with flat, deep shots, hold your own in a baseline rally, and close it out with a crisp smash without ever switching rackets. What you won't get is a safety net in the tight moments.

The sweet spot is medium-to-contained in size, consistent with the racket's build. Hits toward the tip or the throat are noticeable — there's vibration and the ball loses distance.

Player profile and ideal partner pairing

This model suits the drive or backhand player who competes, has good shot preparation, and wants a single racket for both attack and defence without a change in feel. It also works for the ambitious intermediate who's outgrown the help of a soft core.

As part of a pair, it covers the backhand side well when your partner is a pure hitter who needs someone to hold the ball and feed long bandejas. On the drive side it performs well if your game leans on smashing off the 3, rather than constant brute-force power.

Anyone playing once or twice a week, without much arm acceleration, and with a history of elbow trouble will find this Siux racket too demanding.

Verdict: demanding, honest and highly predictable

The Siux Pegasus Elite 4 delivers exactly what it promises: precision, dry touch and a smash that never gets away from you. The trade-off is a short ball exit, a sweet spot that doesn't forgive off-centre contact, and a core that makes itself felt over long matches.

If you're after a racket that gives you free metres on defence, this isn't it. If you want a 3K carbon teardrop that responds exactly the same way on point 1 as it does on point 40, the Pegasus Elite 4 delivers.
