Siux Diablo Pro 2026

Nearly 50, with tennis elbow and a shoulder impingement, they moved from an AT10 18K weighing close to 390 g with extras to the Diablo Pro 2026, which is 365 g with protector and overgrip. It is hard and dry and needs good technique, not as comfortable as the Nox and without trampoline effect, but they love its weight and manoeuvrability.

I am only at my 2nd match with the diablo and I really like it. I was looking for something with less trampoline effect than the ST4 and so far I am satisfied. Very maneuverable, good control and the power is there when you need it. Mine is 355 grams. ST4 is also a great racket though especially since it is cheaper now

Recommends it as a very manageable racket with a hard touch that still gives enough ball output. Says it has a little less power than a diamond but is very good for a teardrop shape.

Still getting used to the hard Diablo Pro 2026 but prefers it to their old Nox: more control, easier to manoeuvre, and it needs you to hit through the ball.

Finds the 2026 Diablo Pro, with its 24K plus 3K face, quite soft with a lot of ball output, which makes power hard to control near the net; they see the Pegasus and Electra as harder and more powerful.

After a first training session with the Diablo Pro 2026, coming from a 2020 Black Crown, they felt really good: incredible ball feedback, much more powerful shots, and a larger grip that feels comfortable.

Switched from the ST5 to the Diablo Pro: fast, weighted towards the handle, much easier to place the ball; smashes solid but not ST4/ST5 solid.

Three months with the Diablo: likes the ball output, medium hardness, big sweet spot and manoeuvrability, though it lacks a bit of power.

An advanced right-side defensive player always comes back to the Diablo Pro 2026 as by far the easiest racket in defence, though they would like a bit more power.

Is a big fan of the Diablo Pro 2026, describing it as firm but with plenty of power and control.

Tried the Diablo 2026 and loved it: medium-dry touch, good power, the natural upgrade from their Metalbone Carbon CTRL 3.4, though less manoeuvrable and a little less help in defence.

Played two years with the AT10 12k and 18k, tried the new Diablo in training and bought it: low balance, agile, and a controlled rubber without the bounce.

The Diablo is very easy to manoeuvre and its spin let them hit kick smashes fairly easily for a defensive racket.

Has had the Diablo Pro 2026 since January and it is battered with paint chips everywhere, but still going strong; thinks build-quality complaints mainly concern the Pegasus and some Fenix models.

Bought the Diablo Pro 2026 in mid-June and after a casual session found a chip or crack on the side. Their only complaint so far is poor finishing, and the racket still sounds, feels and plays the same, though it flexes slightly when pressed at the crack.

Bought a second-hand Diablo Pro 2026 and found it much harder than their Vertex 05: very easy to manoeuvre, but they don't like the hard feel.

Off-centre hits go straight to the net, but sweet-spot hits are very satisfying.

Bought a 355 g Diablo Pro 2026: the lightest racket they've had, very manoeuvrable, stiff enough to control shots and with power when needed; they're sticking with it.

Played the Diablo Pro, Elite and Pegasus Pro and preferred the Diablo Pro: a control player's racket with power when needed.

Tried the Diablo Pro 2026 and found it too bouncy, with so much ball output that volleys and lobs from the back fly into the glass.
