Siux Fenix Pro 5 2025

Both neighbours of the Fenix Pro 5 2025 in the Siux line are tagged Professional, and this racket is the one labelled Advanced. So the usual story of what changed since last year does not hold up here. What you can say is simpler: this is a diamond-shaped power racket, and it is not a gentle one.

Advanced between two Professionals: why the Fenix Pro line is not a clean ladder

The Fenix Pro 4 is listed with an 18K Textreme face and a Professional level. The Fenix Pro 2026 has a 12K carbon face, a different pro-player name and also a Professional level. The Pro 5 2025 sits between them with a 24K face and the Advanced tag.

Those differences are too large to read as a clean upgrade path. The link to each neighbour is doubtful, so do not treat either as a before-and-after version. A changed label is a changed label. What is the same across all three: diamond shape, high balance, 38 mm thickness and a 355 to 375 g weight range. That tells you the character, not the history.

The product page promises maneuverability: the meters read Low

The product page claims the racket "guarantees" great maneuverability without losing power. It also claims superior control in key moments. Those are marketing lines. The specs point elsewhere.

A diamond shape, a heavy build and a high balance all lower maneuverability. The same goes for control. The stiff carbon face helps precision on a clean hit, but the shape and balance pull the other way. The meters for both read Low.

The practical reading is this. You get a racket that is stable and powerful when you are set up early. You do not get a racket that rescues a late block at the net. If you want quick hands, look somewhere else.

A 24K face on a 3K frame: where High power and Low comfort come from

The face is 24K carbon with a 3D Roughness surface. The frame is 3K carbon. The core is hard EVA. Stacked together, that is a stiff, firm build.

A hard core and stiff face send energy back into the ball. That is where the High power reading comes from, helped by the diamond shape and the weight. It is also why comfort reads Low. The product page says the hard core gives greater shock absorption and comfort. That is the brand's claim, and it sits oddly with the specs. A hard core is usually the firm option.

Retailers do not say what a 3K frame does on court. Do not read more into it than the number.

355 to 375 g at 38 mm with a high balance: what the heavy diamond asks of your arm

The weight range is 355 to 375 g. That is heavy. The balance is listed as high, so more mass sits towards the head. Swinging it for a full match takes strength and good shoulder timing.

The upside is a stable racket on overheads and flat smashes. The downside is fatigue, and late shots get harder as your arm tires. If you want to try it, start with shorter sessions. Warm up properly. And if your arm complains, move to a lighter or more forgiving shape rather than pushing through.

Fenix Pro 5 2025 next to the Fenix Elite 5 and the Drop Shot Canyon Pro Attack 1.5

The Siux Fenix Elite 5 is the same-year sibling. It is also Advanced. It is also a high-balance diamond with a hard EVA core. The face is 12K carbon and the range is 360 to 375 g. Its meters read the same as this racket's.

The Drop Shot Canyon Pro Attack 1.5 is a diamond with a 24K Twill carbon face and a 360 to 370 g range. It is tagged Intermediate / Advanced and Pablo Lima is its pro player. Again the meters match.

So the choice between these is not about a different type of racket. It is about small spec differences and what you like in the hand. If you want to compare the Pro 5 with its successor, there is a direct comparison, but read it as two different rackets.

Head size, handle, balance in mm: what the sheet leaves out

Several specs are not published for this racket: head area, handle details, balance in millimetres and the weight system. That matters, because balance in millimetres would tell you how head-heavy it really is. Until you know more, the High balance label is all you have.

Retailers name Álex Chozas as the pro player. That is a marketing link, not a performance fact. No independent review of this racket has been found yet, so everything above comes from the specs.
