Siux Pegasus GV Edition

A racket made with Gianluca Vacchi tells you less than a racket tied to a tour player. That changes what the name can say.

Vacchi's name: what the collaboration tells you and what it does not

Shops list Gianluca Vacchi as the player behind this edition. The product page calls it a collaboration. That is a marketing fact, not a performance fact. Nothing in the material says how he plays or whether he competes on tour.

So read the name as branding. The racket has to be judged by its specs. Retailers list the level as Advanced, which is the more useful signal.

24K Twill Silver Carbon over EVA: why control and power both read Medium

The face is 24K Twill Silver Carbon, which counts as carbon-stiff. Under it sits an EVA rubber core of medium density. The shape is hybrid.

That mix explains the two Medium labels. The stiff face and the weight add power. The EVA core, the hybrid shape and the 265 mm balance add control. Neither wins. Not a power racket or a control racket, but a middle path.

355 to 375 g at 265 mm: what a heavy hybrid asks of your arm

The weight range is 355 to 375 g. That is heavy. It also means two rackets of the same model can differ in your hand.

The balance of 265 mm is medium, so the weight is not pushed into the head. That helps a little with handling. It does not change the main point: maneuverability reads Low. At the net, in fast exchanges, you need a strong, fit arm.

What can you do about it? Pick the lighter end of the range if you can check the weight, and build up your forearm before you play long sessions.

A great balance of power and control, says the product page: the meters add Low comfort

The product page claims a great balance between power and control. The meters partly agree: both read Medium. They add something the pitch skips. Comfort reads Low, because a stiff carbon face and a heavy frame send more shock to your arm.

The product page also describes the core as a rubber of medium density. Retailer data lists the density as medium too.

Dual Pro Grip, a glossy finish and what the shops list

Shops list Dual Pro Grip as the anti-vibration feature. The product page says the racket has anti-vibration systems and claims a large cut in vibrations. That is the brand's own claim, and no source here has measured it.

The surface is a glossy 3D finish. The colours are black and silver. Neither tells you much about play.

No review, no head size, no thickness: what is left open

No review of this racket has been found. Head size, thickness, handle and weight system are not published. That means you cannot judge the sweet spot or the feel in the hand from numbers. The Low sweet spot label has no drivers behind it, so treat it with care.

If you buy, expect to find out the rest yourself.

The Siux Diablo Pro 4 has almost the same sheet: hybrid, medium balance, 355 to 375 g, Advanced. Its face is 18K Textreme carbon and its thickness is listed at 38 mm, which is more than the Pegasus tells you.

The Dunlop Galactica Pro 2025 is a fixed 365 g, with a 16K carbon face, 38 mm thick, also Advanced. If you want fewer unknowns, it is the easier racket to read.
