diamond, 365 g, built for a strong club player

Siux Diablo review

A diamond with a slightly friendlier core than the top-line power rackets. The usual first diamond for a strong club player.

How this review is made: from the maker's published specs and the finder's scoring for power, control and the arm, checked against the specialist shops. It is not a lab test.

What the finder says about it

  • Built for a strong club player. The finder keeps it away from an improver player: a racket two rungs above you is a mistake, not a stretch.
  • Arm 5 of 10: the finder marks it down for anyone who ticks elbow, shoulder or wrist trouble. It loses ground too for anyone playing four times a week.
  • Power 8, control 6: the head weight the finder looks for when you say you finish points, from the left.
  • 365 g, close to the 360 g the finder assumes for a player with no weight preference.
  • Diamond: the mass in the head for power, and a small sweet spot high on the face that punishes a mishit.
  • €180 to €280 in the shops, so it is in play from the €100 to €180 budget up.
  • Sold in a lighter, smaller-grip edition under the same name, which the finder counts in its favour for a small hand.

Power, control and arm are the finder's own 0 to 10 scores, from playing the rackets and the specialist shops' consensus. Prices are the usual street band and move with the season.

Before you buy

Hold it in the ready position for a minute: if the head wants to drop, the balance is too high for you. Most rackets ship with a handle a size too thin, and one overgrip fixes it. Not sure it is the one? The finder asks twelve questions and gives three.

Questions people ask

How much does the Siux Diablo weigh?

About 365 g in the standard edition, with a high balance.

Is the Siux Diablo good for beginners?

No. It is built for a strong club player, and it punishes the mishits a beginner still makes.

Is the Siux Diablo good for tennis elbow?

Not if your elbow already hurts: 5 of 10 on the finder's scale, with a medium core and a high balance.

What shape is the Siux Diablo?

Diamond: the weight in the head: the most power on the smash, a smaller sweet spot and more load on the arm.
