Siux Ultra Pro

Technologies

Pros

• ✓The Custom Balance System lets you fine-tune the mass distribution inside the core: start out neutral for long baseline rallies, then shift the weight toward the head when the match calls for more punch on the smash The 12K Honeycomb carbon face delivers a clean, predictable response on block volleys and cut bandejas, without the wild kickback you get from stiffer faces of similar profile The EVA Medium core gives you easy ball exit on tight wall returns and defensive lobs, which is unusual for a racket this control-oriented The dual Shockout dampeners cut impact vibration by up to 50%, a real relief in long sessions and on those off-centre shots you scrape off the glass The teardrop shape with its 38mm frame keeps things nimble at net: you can reach the crossed vibora and the low volley without feeling like you're dragging the racket around

Cons

• ✗This isn't a racket that gives you power for free: on the flat smash you need to bring your own arm speed, since the 12K face plus EVA Medium combo rewards placement over raw pace The teardrop's sweet spot runs narrower than a round shape's: shots caught near the frame lose depth and fall short The 355-375g weight range is demanding on an untrained wrist; at the top end you pay for it when scrambling to defend mid-court The Custom Balance System demands a genuine break-in period: until you dial in your setup, the feel shifts from session to session and it takes time to find your groove

The Siux Ultra Pro 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.

Siux Ultra Pro Review: The Teardrop Padel Racket With Adjustable Balance and an EVA Medium Core

The Siux Ultra Pro builds its whole case around an idea you don't see often: letting the player decide where the weight lives. A 12K Honeycomb carbon face, an EVA Medium core, a 38mm frame, a 355-375g weight range, and a Custom Balance System that shifts an internal piece inside the core to redistribute mass. All of it packed into a teardrop shape built for advanced players.

This isn't a niche racket or a one-trick tool. It's an all-court padel racket that adapts to you.

What Does the Custom Balance System on the Siux Ultra Pro Actually Do?

The Custom Balance System lets you shift an internal piece housed in the core to adjust the racket's balance between a more control-focused setup and one that loads mass toward the hitting zone. In practice, that means the same frame can play neutral in a long grinding match and carry more inertia when you need weight behind the smash.

It's a system that changes how you go about testing a racket. With most models, you decide in the first session whether the balance suits you; here, that first session is just the starting point.

The trade-off is obvious: until you settle on your preferred setup, the feel isn't consistent from one match to the next. Anyone who just wants to pick up a racket and forget about it will find that process more annoying than useful.

12K Honeycomb Over EVA Medium: Why This Pairing Doesn't Punish You

The 12K Honeycomb carbon face sets the tone for every impact. It's a weave stiff enough to give a crisp, predictable response on block volleys, but without the extreme hardness that forces you to swing at full speed just to get something out of it.

Underneath, the EVA Medium does the complementary work. It's the rubber that explains why this racket gives you easy ball exit in situations where you can't generate your own pace: a scrambled wall return, a defensive lob from deep, a drop shot that needs touch.

That balance is what defines the Ultra Pro. It's not the racket that sends the ball the furthest, but it won't leave you hanging when you're stretching to reach a shot either.

The 38mm frame adds the handling piece. It's a profile that keeps the racket agile at net, and on a teardrop this weight, that agility really shows up on the crossed vibora and on cutting off low volleys, where you need to close the face fast.

The Dual Shockout Dampeners and Your Arm at the 90-Minute Mark

Siux fits two Shockout dampeners that cut impact vibration by up to 50%. That figure translates into something very concrete: off-centre hits — the ones you scrape off the glass or catch near the tip — reach your arm far more filtered.

Over a one-hour match, the difference is minor. Over a weekend tournament with three matches a day, it's the difference between finishing with a sore elbow or not.

How the Ultra Pro Plays, Shot by Shot

Bandeja and vibora. This is its home turf. The 12K face gives you pinpoint placement and the teardrop's maneuverability with that 38mm frame lets you adjust the angle late. The bandeja comes out cut and with good bite; the vibora asks for a bit more arm but responds well.

Smash. Time for honesty here. The flat smash works if you supply the acceleration, because the 12K-plus-EVA-Medium combo doesn't hand you extra metres. The kick smash off the glass pays off better than chasing a full-power smash down the line.

Defence and wall exit. The EVA Medium is the star here. The ball comes off easily even on shots you don't hit cleanly, which lets you defend deep without forcing the lob.

Volley. Clean, controlled response. The racket doesn't over-rebound, so the block volley goes exactly where you send it.

Where it costs you. The teardrop's sweet spot is narrower than a round shape's. Hits away from the centre lose depth and fall short in the back of the court, and with dead weight in the middle of the frame, your opponent will push you up to net.

Who Is the Siux Ultra Pro Built For?

For advanced or competitive amateur players who already have solid technique and don't rely on the racket to generate pace. The player who gets the most out of it is the all-rounder who rotates position and needs a racket that performs just as well from the back as at net.

As a doubles pairing, it works well alongside someone with a clearly offensive racket: the Ultra Pro can sustain the rally and build the point while their partner finishes it off.

Anyone after a racket that forgives technical errors or adds power on its own should look at a round shape with a wider sweet spot instead. This Siux model sits firmly on the control side of things.

Verdict: A Racket You Tune, Not a Shortcut

The Siux Ultra Pro is a control-oriented teardrop with generous ball exit, capable of holding its own in amateur competition if you accept its premise: you bring the power, it brings the precision and comfort.

The Custom Balance System is the real differentiator here, not a catalogue gimmick, but it does demand testing time to pay off. The Shockout dampeners are the quiet extra you'll appreciate by your third match of the day.

If your game is built around placement, moving your opponent around, and waiting for the short ball, this one fits. If your plan is to close out points with flat smashes from the first shot, there are more aggressive rackets suited to that job.
