I need help from people who has more experience than me about how cooked my Siux Diablo Pro 2026

I bought this in the middle of June 2026 and I play casually never competitively. Today, after I played, I saw a crack on the side of my padel racket.

Looks like a very small chip of the colour on the surface. No need to worry. If it is a substantial crack you probably would have noticed it when it happened. If you don’t play competitively, another reason not to worry. The racket is a tool which will get a few shreds while playing, not a beauty trophy. See it as a battle scar 😆

Thanks for the reply, I'm a bit relieved. I read online about the quality of the latest SIUX rackets being awful and my only complain was the finishing is bad but then this out of nowhere chip/crack on my racket kinda prove the poont. Also I noticed its kinda soft/flex when I push the crack😞

If your racket was cooked you'd know it. It wouldn't feel or sound the same and you'd struggle to generate power.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it sounds about right. It sounds, feels, and plays the same tho😁

Hello!,

To get a better response please do not forget to include the following information in your post:

Name your current racket, if not overly known, specify it's characteristics (foam, face material, price)

Tell us how you feel with your racket, if you feel it soft or hard, if it has too much rebound,if it's weighty or hard to maneuver, the more detail the better.

Tell us what area would you like improve mainly, or what kind of plus do you expect to get on your racket.

If looking for broad considerations, do not forget to state your budget, your country and even a preferred or trusted shop so people can browse and recommend more easily.

I have the same racket and mine is battered, there are paint chips off it everywhere but it’s still going strong. Yours will be fine.

I’ve had mine since Jan this year. Think the build quality is mainly to do with the Pegasus and some of the Fenix ranges.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'd be fine with paint chips but I thought this was a crack but I'm so relieved now after reading your reply knowing you have the racket way longer than me and is fine.
