Siux Fenix Pro Glow Purple 2026 Review
By Andres Jovem · Updated October 19, 2026
Leo Augsburger's signature diamond: a stiff 12K carbon attacker with a hard EVA core that finishes points above the head, and asks a full technique deposit everywhere else.
The verdict
Siux believes in Leo Augsburger enough to sign him until 2040, the longest contract padel has seen, and the Fenix Pro Glow Purple is the frame they built around his game. It is a pro-range diamond that lives at the net and finishes overhead, stiff in the face, hard in the core, with the mass stacked high where a smash wants it. If your padel is about taking the net and ending the point from there, this is that idea in racket form.
The character comes from restraint as much as power. A 12K carbon face is stiff enough for a fast, direct ball exit but a shade friendlier than the densest weaves, which keeps a slightly off-center strike playable at speed. Our catalog still logs the sweet spot as small, so read that as damage control on a demanding frame, not generosity.
And the caveat that should be printed on the cover: this is the No. 9 player in the world's racket, tuned for a young Argentine who attacks for a living. His signature on the frame is a statement about his game. Whether it belongs in your bag is a question about yours, and for most improving players the honest answer is not yet.
The build
The core
Inside sits a high-density hard EVA, and it sets the racket's temperament. A firm core barely deforms at contact, so the ball leaves fast and flat with almost no trampoline lag. Strike it clean and the exit is immediate; strike it late and there is no cushion to bail you out. That trade is the price of a pro-range power frame, and Siux makes no attempt to hide it.
The surface
The face is 12K carbon with a 3D-textured matte finish. The weave keeps the hitting surface stiff so pace transfers instead of soaking in, while the molded texture bites the ball for spin on the víbora, the bandeja, and a cut lob. One retailer listing calls the face 24K; Siux's spec across our sources says 12K, and we go with the spec sheet, not the sales page.
Shape and balance
A full-profile diamond with the balance pushed high, wrapped in a carbon frame for torsional stiffness on off-center impact. Crown-loaded mass gives the overhead its weight, and Siux's AVS anti-vibration system sits in the layup to absorb part of what a stiff frame sends back. Absorb part, note, not all.
How it plays
At the net
This is home. Volleys come off firm and short-bouncing, the kind opponents dig out rather than counter, and once you're set the head weight puts balls away without a backswing. The catch is transition speed: in a wrist-flick exchange the high balance costs you a beat, so you win at the net by arriving early and set, not by out-reacting anyone.
On the attack
The overhead package is the sales pitch and it delivers. Smashes leave with the flat, heavy quality that ends rallies por cuatro, and the textured face turns the víbora into a weapon of its own, spitting the ball low and skidding off the glass. The bandeja rewards commitment: hit it assertively and it stays down, baby it and the hard core gives the ball back too clean.
From the baseline
Here the frame stops helping. Blocks off a hard ball sit short unless your hands are active, lobs need a deliberate push to reach the back glass, and defensive resets demand early preparation the head weight fights against. A defender who wants the racket to donate depth will be miserable. An attacker treats the baseline as a place to pass through, which is the mentality this frame assumes.
Comfort and the arm
Hard EVA, stiff carbon, high balance: that recipe routes shock up the forearm, and the AVS damping softens the sting without removing the workload. Long sessions load the shoulder from swinging crown-heavy mass, and a sensitive elbow will want a word by the third set. If your arm has history, there are kinder power rackets than this.
Who it's for (and who should skip it)
Buy it if
- You're an advanced or pro-level attacker who wins from the net
- Your overheads are grooved and you want more finishing weight behind them
- You accept a small sweet spot as the cost of a fast, flat exit
Look elsewhere if
- You're still building technique, or padel is one sport among several
- You defend more than you attack and need help with depth
- Your elbow or shoulder complains after firm, head-heavy frames

The bottom line
So: for the committed attacker with tour ambitions and a healthy arm, the Fenix Pro Glow Purple is a proper finishing weapon at a friendlier street price than most signature frames. For everyone else, remember the rule that matters more than any review: the right racket fits your game, not your favorite player's. The free two-minute quiz reads your level, style, and budget and finds the frame that fits yours.

Frequently asked
No. The Fenix Pro Glow Purple 2026 is a pro-range frame with a hard EVA core, a small sweet spot, and a head-heavy diamond balance, all of which punish developing technique. A beginner gets more pace, more comfort, and more fun from a round, soft-cored racket at a third of the price.
Yes. The Fenix Pro is Leo Augsburger's signature line at Siux, and the Glow Purple 2026 is his current colorway on the Premier Padel tour, where he sits inside the world's top ten. Siux extended his contract to 2040 in April 2026, the longest sponsorship deal in the sport's history.
Power, specifically overhead power. The high-balance diamond shape, hard EVA core, and stiff 12K carbon face are built for the smash, the víbora, and firm net finishing. It offers precision to a player who already has control in their hands, but the frame itself donates none.
It sells from ~€180 in stock at our retailers as of October 2026, down from a €349.95 launch price. That is premium-tier pricing, in line with other tour players' signature frames.
They are colorways of the same Fenix Pro platform, Augsburger's signature mold in purple or black. Retailer listings vary slightly on cosmetic and spec details between the two, but shape, balance, core, and character are the same racket. Pick the color, not the spec sheet.
It pairs a high-density hard EVA core with a 12K carbon face finished in a 3D matte texture, inside a carbon frame at a full 38mm profile. The hard core gives the fast, direct ball exit and the textured face loads spin on cut shots.
Yes for an established attacker: around €180 against a €349.95 launch price is the best discount-to-spec ratio of any power pick here. It is a hard diamond with a hard diamond's manners, so the worth evaporates if your arm or your timing isn't ready.
The Fenix hits harder; the Electra does more jobs. A confirmed finisher who wants maximum pace off the top takes the Fenix. A player whose points build through the mid-court gets more from the Electra's balance. When in doubt, the Electra is the frame you stop noticing, which is usually the right answer.
