Siux Beat Control 3

Siux lists two 2026 rackets in the Beat Control line, and their weight ranges start at different points. No reviews were found for this racket. So this page works from the spec sheet and says where that sheet runs out.

The short version: this is a round, low-balance racket with a fiberglass face and an EVA core. It is listed for beginners and intermediates. That combination usually means a forgiving, controlled racket and not a powerful one.

Beat Control 3 or Beat Control 2026: two listings, one weight difference

The other listing is Siux beat control 2026. Its sheet gives 360 to 375 g, EVA rubber, a round shape, a low balance and a 38 mm thickness. This racket is listed at 355 to 375 g with an EVA core and the same shape and thickness.

So the difference is the bottom of the range, 355 g versus 360 g, plus a different level label and a slightly different core wording. Is that a different racket? The data does not say. A changed label is a changed label, not proof of a changed racket. If you can, check the weight printed on the racket you are buying.

Heavy on the label, Medium on handling: what 355 to 375 g does in a round head

The range is wide: from 355 g to 375 g. That matters more than it sounds. A 355 g racket and a 375 g racket will not swing the same way, even with the same shape.

The meters treat this as a heavy class. That raises power a little, but it lowers maneuverability and comfort, since more mass sends more load toward your arm on hard contact. The round shape and low balance pull handling back up, so maneuverability lands at medium. Not nimble, not sluggish.

If your arm tires quickly, the lighter end of the range is the safer side.

Why a fiberglass face and a low balance read High control and Low power

Four things drive the control and power readings: the face, the shape, the balance and the weight class. Fiberglass is a flexible face material, and on paper it trades some power for forgiveness. A round head keeps the hitting area centered. A low balance puts less weight in the head, so the racket is easier to hold and swing but gives less leverage for hard shots.

The result on the meters is High control and Low power. In practice that suggests a racket for controlled, placed shots rather than one that finishes points by itself. The product page claims a wide sweet spot, a soft touch and strong vibration absorption. Those are the seller's words. The specs here only support a medium sweet spot, which is what the round shape gives.

The balance in mm is not published, only the label "Low". The exact point is unknown, so how head-light it really is cannot be said.

Beat Control 3 next to the Arkos 2026 and the Counter Origin: where comfort rises

Two rivals share the round shape, the 38 mm thickness and the fiberglass face. Both rate High for comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot, where this racket reads Medium.

The StarVie Arkos 2026 is listed at 358 g with an S-EVA Flex core and a low balance. It is the closest match on paper, and a softer core may explain the higher comfort rating. That is a reading, not a tested fact.

The Babolat Counter Origin has a head-light balance and a range of 345 to 365 g. It is lighter and more head-light, so it should swing quicker. Both alternatives rate higher on the three meters where this racket sits in the middle.

The Beat Control 3 matches them on control. Next to the Counter Origin, it is the heavier choice at up to 375 g, with a low balance instead of a head-light one.

Round Control or Hybrid: why the Beat Hybrid siblings are a different racket

The same-year Beat Hybrid rackets share the 38 mm thickness, EVA core and fiberglass face. They differ in shape and balance. The Beat Hybrid 3 is a hybrid shape with a medium balance, and its maneuverability and sweet spot read Low. The Beat Hybrid 2026 is a teardrop with a medium balance and the level label Beginner.

The Beat Hybrid 3 Air is also a teardrop at 340 to 360 g, lighter than anything in the Control listing. Its comfort reads High.

So the Control is the round one. The Hybrid 3 and the Hybrid 2026 rate Medium for power, while the Air rates Low, the same as this racket. The Control's round head is the more centered shape. If you want a first racket that forgives off-center hits, the round head is the more natural starting point.

Not published: balance in mm, head size, frame, handle

Several specs are missing: balance in mm, head size in cm2, frame, handle and weight system. The pro player is not listed either. Head size matters for sweet spot, and balance in mm matters for how head-light the racket really is.

Until someone plays and reviews it, treat the profile as an informed guess from materials, shape and weight. It is a sensible guess, but only that.
