Highest score in the Astra line
Control focused • Comfortable • Forgiving
The Siux Astra Hybrid 2026 is an accessible all-round teardrop balancing control, comfort and a touch of attacking power. It is a solid middle option from the Astra line with a pleasant, versatile response. The 3K-fiberglass face and soft EVA core (4/10 hardness) provide a comfortable feel, while medium balance and teardrop shape put slightly more power in the head than a round shape. The glossy-plus-sandy finish adds grip. It targets players with some experience seeking a balance between control and power. PADEL CHAPTER has not physically tested it: specifications have been verified through the manufacturer and retailers, and the playing profile follows the consensus of independent reviews.
The Siux Astra Hybrid 2026 is a teardrop with medium balance, weight 355–375g and a 38mm profile. Face: 3K-fiberglass. Core: EVA Soft (4/10 hardness). Finish: glossy plus sandy. Part of the accessible Astra line (GO). Indicative price around €123.
Technologies:
- 3K-fiberglass face for a comfortable, forgiving contact feel
- Soft EVA core (4/10 hardness) for a pleasant, manageable feel
- Teardrop with medium balance for slightly more power in the head
- Glossy-plus-sandy finish for grip on topspin and slice
The teardrop shape with medium balance puts slightly more weight in the head than a round shape: a touch of extra power, while the soft EVA core keeps it comfortable. A pleasant, versatile response across the court.
The fiberglass face gives less direct punch than carbon, and peak power remains modest. This is an all-rounder rather than a pronounced attacking racket.
For players with some experience seeking a versatile racket with a balance between control, comfort and power. Choose the Control for maximum control; choose the Hybrid Air for lighter weight.
The Hybrid Air is the lighter version (340–360g), making it even more agile, with slightly less power. The regular Hybrid provides a little more body and stability.
The indicative price is around €123. The Astra line is Siux' accessible series; the exact price varies by retailer and stock.

Not a pronounced attacking racket: modest peak power
Sweetspot slightly smaller than on the round Astra Control
What you will notice as a player
The racket helps in defense: a calm swing sends balls off the glass deep again.
The sweet spot offers forgiveness: slightly imperfect contact loses little accuracy.
Comfortable in long matches: the racket cushions contact well, with little feedback in your arm.
No pronounced weakness, but no single shot where the racket particularly stands out either.
Which shots are affected most?
| Situation | What will you notice? |
|---|---|
| Defense | Plenty of help: the low balance and generous sweet spot return balls off the glass calmly and deep. |
| Volley | Crisp and agile: aiming feels effortless and late adjustments remain possible. |
| Bandeja | Very easy to control: the ball stays low and predictable, ideal for controlling the court. |
| Vibora | It works, but speed and bite must mostly come from your own technique. |
| Smash | Enough power, but you still need to put considerable effort into the swing. |
| Block | Stable: the racket is ready in time and returns the ball with control. |
| Off-center ball | Forgiving: just outside the sweet spot you lose little and the ball stays on course. |
