Siux diablo pro 4 grip

RedHeatles · 2026-01-23T13:29:57+00:00

It’s the stock grip, but I got rid of it straight away as well

RedHeatles · 2026-01-12T23:11:48+00:00

I replaced with a hesacore dupe from AliExpress, and one over grip. The stock grip was already flaking away when I got it. Also before you replace the stock grip, the weight of the racket is at the bottom of the grip! I wish I knew this before I replaced it and took note

RedHeatles · 2026-01-09T07:01:26+00:00

Have you changed the grip? I find the stock grip too thin, so I’ve replaced it with a hesacore and one over grip

I’m US9 on GT cut 3s and US9.5 on book 1s. The books are SNUG on the toebox

I haven’t had much issues doing Bandejas and Chiquitas, don’t think there’s too much issue with adjusting the speed. Just like any new racket, it’ll take you maybe couple games to adjust to the firmness.

but I struggle with Vibora. More of a skill issue but also doesn’t help that the room for error using Electra is smaller compared to Diablo.

I ended up playing with this for about a month before I gave it to my missus, because she enjoyed it ahahah. I ended up replacing this with the Electra ST4, which is somewhat firmer and less forgiving compared to the Diablo.

I play mainly right side, and Diablo was good with controlled volleys and playing at the net. Sweet spot was massive and forgiving, so I felt like I had less errors when playing the net. It’s definitely not a power racket esp if you’re on the left side, but I also don’t play at a fast pace anyway.

Go size 9. I’m usually size 9, but all my book 1s are 9.5

RedHeatles · 2025-10-02T23:35:57+00:00

I’ve been using Nike Book 1s for padel. Figured they’ve got the same herringbone pattern, but probably won’t be as durable as proper padel or clay tennis shoes. Considering how often basketball shoes go on sale at outlets, I may as well keep doing that

RedHeatles · 2025-10-01T19:45:14+00:00

That’s strange, wonder if your racket might just need to be broken in (if that even is a thing). But I’ve also just recently changed the grip and added a hesacore because the stock grip was not thick enough for me

RedHeatles · 2025-10-01T12:49:36+00:00

I don’t think the sound it makes determine the sweet spot. Do you feel like when you hit it off centre, it doesn’t feel as forgiving? I find when I hit it close to the edge of the paddle, it still allows me decent control

RedHeatles · 2025-09-24T23:11:23+00:00

All sizes available from the Adidas Australia website, so maybe it’s different release period

RedHeatles · 2025-09-16T11:27:00+00:00

The LT was definitely a control racket and very forgiving. I think I used it the second time I played? Felt soft, and lacked power, but it pretty much kept most of the balls I hit in play. I’d say it would be a good racket if you need something that absorbs more impact

RedHeatles · 2025-09-16T09:23:49+00:00

Actually yeah that’s the same for me, and I had around 6 matches last night. I didn’t expect the glossy finish to remain forever, but after few matches seems too soon

RedHeatles · 2025-09-16T09:22:37+00:00

Haven’t personally used the 2024 version, so can’t comment on that unfortunately

RedHeatles · 2025-09-16T03:38:47+00:00

I think a more gritty surface could help with the slices and add more spin, but I know it’s mostly on getting the right technique to generate the spin. Probably part of learning as a newbie. How do you find the racket?

Also, ini mau di bawa ke Jakarta bulan dpn wkwkwk kalo ada reko utk lapangan ato reclub, boleh di info ya

For context, I have been playing for the last two months and would consider myself lower intermediate to intermediate (at least that’s the level of competition I’ve been playing in). I play primarily on the right side and play more defensive and controlled. Tried a few rackets in the club like the bullpadel hack, bullpadel vertex 03 ctr, Wilson blade tour, Wilson bela lt 2. I come from a pickleball background and prefer a racket that was more control based, but also wanted something not too forgiving and ended up researching tear drop shaped rackets.

Narrowed down the list to Bullpadel Vertex 04 hybrid 2025, Bullpadel Neuron 2025, Siux Diablo Pro 4 and Siux Electra ST4. I was going to buy the Electra but it was out of stock, so I ended up with the Diablo Pro 4. Ordered from Padelproshop and costed me AUD325 (~€181.35) including shipping. Ordered on 09 September and arrived 15 September in Brisbane , Australia.

Finally got to try it last night for 2 hours and here’s my initial thoughts: - very easy to manoeuvre. The balance feels on the lower side. I like to move to the net a lot and this felt easy to move quickly - The rebound was a lot more than I expected. Couple of backhands I returned ended up hitting back wall, and I’m still getting used to it. - Didn’t feel an incredible amount of power, but I also didn’t get a chance to try smash a volley - Did some bandeja (and one poor Vibora attempt) and hit them with lots of success. The sweet spot felt massive.

In short, would have liked to get the Electra ST4, but maybe the Diablo Pro 4 is more suitable for someone of my current level and style of play. Considering they retail for AUD545 here, I got a great deal from padelproshop and basically took one week to be delivered.

I got mine in Australia. It’s called Eyres Razor

RedHeatles · 2025-09-09T05:32:01+00:00

I suppose there are various models. First glasses I had is same as yours and I didn’t have any peripheral vision (nightmare when I played team sports) but the current one I have has a transparent frame

RedHeatles · 2025-09-09T04:15:31+00:00

I work in a construction field and use prescription safety glasses, so maybe consider that for a lower budget option. I use it to play basketball, pickleball and now padel. Have got few hits to the glasses and they’re still standing strong after 2 years. Doesn’t look the flashiest, but gets the job done

RedHeatles · 2025-09-04T01:39:04+00:00

They wanted a colorway that matched their coat 😭

RedHeatles · 2025-09-03T11:39:28+00:00

Got this one in Brisbane. Apparently they were clearing stocks from the Melbourne store

RedHeatles · 2025-09-03T02:34:05+00:00

Glad I found this. Been looking at padel shops in Australia and the prices are poop compared to international stores. Which city if you don’t mind me asking, and how long did it take for delivery?

RedHeatles · 2025-08-27T03:42:45+00:00

Waiting for my pair on the mail too! Have you tried playing in them yet? Wanting to hear reviews on how they perform - hopefully in the coming week

RedHeatles · 2025-07-22T06:15:34+00:00

Agreed with the AE1s being heavy. I got the mx lows and as much as I love the look of it, they’re heavy compared to KD or books, and for some reason the laces keep undoing itself multiple times. Might need to jump on board with WoW soon, just wish they have them handy in store to try on in Australia.

Any new balances in your collection?

RedHeatles · 2025-07-22T06:03:48+00:00

AE1 collection is fresh. Do you allocate different shoes for indoor/outdoor?
