Siux Fenix PRO 5 vs Fenix PRO 5 Black: What’s the Difference?
If you're an intermediate to advanced padel player looking for explosive performance and control, the Siux Fenix PRO 5 and Fenix PRO 5 Black are two rackets you’ve likely come across. Both models form part of the 2025 Siux PRO range, trusted by professional players like Leo Augsburger and Alex Chozas.
At first glance, they look almost identical — and they do share a lot in common. But there are subtle differences in feel and response that can make a big difference, especially for offensive players who demand precision and comfort.
Here’s what sets them apart:
What They Have in Common
-
24K Carbon Face
Both rackets feature premium 24K carbon on the surface, designed for maximum power and durability. -
Medium-Hard Core
The updated core for 2025 is slightly firmer and drier than last year’s version, offering more control with less rebound — ideal for aggressive, precise play. -
Offensive DNA
Both are designed for power, with a focus on players who dominate the court through smashes, volleys, and fast-paced rallies.
The Key Difference: Carbon Weave Structure
The main distinction between the two comes down to the size of the carbon weave on the racket face:
-
Fenix PRO 5:
Features a tighter 24K carbon weave, which creates a more rigid feel and a firmer impact. This is ideal for players who want that solid, crisp contact when hitting power shots.
-
Fenix PRO 5 Black:
Uses the same 24K carbon, but with a larger weave structure. This gives the racket a slightly softer, more comfortable touch, reducing vibrations and offering a more forgiving feel.

Which One Should You Choose?
-
Choose the Fenix PRO 5 if you want a racket with a firmer feel and absolute precision on every shot.
-
Choose the Fenix PRO 5 Black if you prefer a bit more comfort and a softer sensation when striking the ball — without giving up power.
Both rackets are offensive beasts. It’s just a matter of choosing the feel that suits your game.
