In shortMost players enjoy how it plays, with easy manoeuvrability, solid defence, good power and a gentle feel on the arm. The big problem is durability: many report cracks in the carbon face, loose parts or rattles within a few months. Some who love the racket still call the build quality a deal-breaker.

Calls the Pegasus the best racket they have ever had. It broke on a smash after six months of very heavy use (6–7 sessions a week); for winter they are switching to the softer Diablo Pro 2026 but expect to buy the Pegasus again in spring.
“The Pegasus is without a doubt the best racket I’ve ever had, and I’ll probably buy that model again when spring 2027 rolls round.”
Finds the Pegasus Pro 2026 handles amazingly, but the frame was chipped after one game without touching the glass and surface cracks appeared within two weeks.
“My frame was all chipped after 1 game without hitting the glass. It handles amazing but can’t see it lasting me very long surface cracks after 2 weeks”
Calls the Pegasus Pro 2026 probably their favourite racket ever, with good power and handling, but durability is very poor: their first broke after three months of 3–4 sessions a week, and the second is already starting to crack.
“I love the racket, prolly my favorite racket of all time, and I've tried loads. But unfortunately the durability is very poor.”
Likes the Pegasus Pro a lot, but the face cracked in 2 months and the replacement's handle seam separated.
“siux pegasus pro : i like it alot but the build quality is just bad bad bad, 2 months in and the face cracked”
Liked how the Pegasus played despite a cheap-feeling finish, but it cracked between the holes after 2.5 months and broke on a flat smash.
“the racket lasted 2.5 months after started showing cracks between holes, and died today after powerful flat smash”
A beginner-plus right-side player who has tried almost every recommended racket and always plays best with the Pegasus Pro, though they wish the paint quality were better.
“no matter how many I’ve tried—and I’ve tried almost all of the recommended ones—I always play best with the Siux Pegasus Pro as a right side player with similar strengths and weaknesses.”
Liked their new Pegasus Pro, but the carbon face broke within three months of normal play and Siux refused to replace it.
“I have a new Pegasus Pro that I have played with for around three months. I have never hit the glass, fence or anything else particularly hard, yet the carbon on the racket face has broken”
Loved the Pegasus Pro at first, with power and defence, but after 2.5 months it had micro-cracks and something loose inside.
“Same here, 2,5 months and its broken inside.”
Likes the Pegasus Pro 2026's manoeuvrability, but the carbon face broke after about five weeks of smashing three times a week.
“the build quality is really bad. i just use it for 1 month 1 week”
Enjoyed the Pegasus for two weeks until the foam glue came away after three games; the replacement had imperfections too.
“Great racket and plays great but the built quality for the price is shocking!”
Bought the Pegasus Pro and it already had a rattle inside after one game.
“Brought the Pegasus pro, because we all love spunking money up the wall on Patel gear, I've already got a rattling in the racket after 1 game.”
A Pegasus Pro bought in June 2026 developed micro-tears and cracks across the carbon face between the holes, with the top layer delaminating, after normal play only. The shop later replaced it.
Their Pegasus lasted three months before cracks appeared from delamination defects.
