Siux Electra ST3 Go

The Siux Electra ST3 Go carries the Electra name, but the retailer sheet puts it at Beginner / Intermediate. The other two Electra ST3 rackets from 2024 are listed as Advanced. No review of the Go has been found yet, so this page reads the specs and says so where it matters.

Go in the name, Advanced on the siblings: where the Electra ST3 Go sits

The Siux Electra ST3 Lite has a round shape and a 12K twill carbon face. The Siux Electra ST3 Stupa Pro has a 15K Textreme face and reads High on power. Both are listed as Advanced.

The Go is different. It has a hybrid shape and a 3K carbon face. The retailer lists Franco Stupa as the pro player for this model. The brand's own page calls it a racket for intermediate players who want to improve their technique. That is a claim, not a test.

A hard core in a beginner racket: why comfort reads Low

The core is hard EVA, and a retailer describes the density as medium-hard. A hard core is generally firmer and gives less cushioning than a softer one.

The weight class pulls comfort down too. The 3K carbon face raises it a little. The net result on paper is Low.

The product page claims the racket reduces vibration and limits strain injuries. Treat that as marketing. The comfort meter reads Low, which does not support the claim. If your arm is sensitive, take that seriously. Beginners often have less consistent contact, and a firm racket can make that more noticeable.

355 to 375 g with a medium balance: what the weight window means for a newer player

The sheet gives a range, 355 to 375 g, not a single weight. The actual racket you receive can land anywhere in it. That is 20 g of spread.

The balance is labelled Medium. The balance in mm is not published. So you cannot check whether it sits closer to head-heavy or head-light.

Maneuverability reads Low. The weight drags it down, even with a medium balance helping. A heavier racket is generally less maneuverable. Not a problem for everyone. A newer player may tire sooner.

Hybrid, 3K carbon, rough surface: control and power both at Medium

A hybrid shape sits between round and diamond. It gives some control and some power without leaning hard either way. The meters agree: control Medium, power Medium.

The face is 3K carbon and the frame mixes 3K carbon with fiberglass. The surface is listed as rough. The sheet says nothing more about the texture.

The sweet spot reads Low. Head size is not published, so you cannot compare the hitting area with other rackets by number. The retailer's player profile is a balance between control and power. That fits the Medium readings.

Electra ST3 Go or Diablo Go 3: same weights, same level, a different core

The Siux Diablo Go 3 is a close comparison. It has the same 355 to 375 g window, the same 38 mm thickness, the same Beginner / Intermediate level and a hybrid shape with 3K carbon.

The core differs. The Diablo uses EVA rubber, the Electra a hard EVA. Comfort is the one meter that changes: Medium for the Diablo, Low for the Electra. Everything else reads the same on paper.

So the choice is simple. Want the Electra family look and a firmer feel? Take the Electra. Want an easier time on your arm? Look at the Diablo first.

Not published: balance in mm, head size, handle, weight system and any court test

Several key specs are missing. Balance in mm, head size, handle and weight system are not published. Thickness is 38 mm, taken from a separate source.

There is also no court test. Until one appears, you are buying on the sheet. If you can, try the racket first, or borrow one.
