Main Specifications

Note: a small number of retailer listings quote a slightly different weight bracket (around 345–360 g) for this model. We recommend cross-checking against the supplier sheet before publishing if exact weight matters for your listing.

Player Profile

The Fenix Pro 5 Black 2025 is Siux’s flagship attacking racket, developed with and used on tour by Argentine professional Leo Augsburger. It is built around one idea: maximum power near the net. The diamond shape pushes the sweet spot toward the top of the frame, and the high balance loads that power into smashes, bandejas and víboras rather than into all-round comfort.

This is a racket for advanced to professional players with an established offensive game and solid technique. Players who thrive at the net, finish points with smashes, and don’t mind a firm, direct feel on contact will get the most out of it. It is not aimed at beginners, intermediate players, or anyone who mainly plays from the back of the court, since the stiffness and high balance punish late preparation and off-centre hits.

On-Court Performance

Defence:
Not this racket’s strength. The high balance makes it noticeably slower to bring back into position for defensive blocks and lobs than a round or teardrop racket, and the firm core gives little cushioning on awkward, low-paced balls. Players who spend a lot of time defending from the back wall will find it demanding to handle over a full match.

Volley:
Solid and stable at the net. The rigid 24K carbon face gives a fast, decisive response on block volleys and allows the player to step in and take time away from opponents. Precision on finesse volleys takes more care, since the racket rewards a clean, committed contact rather than a soft touch.

Bandeja & Víbora:
A strong point of the racket. The high balance and textured 3D surface combine to generate real pace and spin on both shots, making them effective as genuine attacking tools rather than purely defensive ones. Consistency does drop off if contact isn’t made in the upper part of the face.

Smash:
This is where the Fenix Pro 5 Black is built to excel. The combination of head-heavy balance, hard core and stiff carbon face produces exceptional smash power, and it is genuinely one of the more explosive overhead rackets in its category. The trade-off is a narrower sweet spot than control-oriented rackets, so mis-timed smashes are punished more than they would be on a more forgiving frame.

Improvements & Upgrades

Compared with Siux’s previous-generation power racket in this line, the Fenix Pro 4 2024, the Fenix Pro 5 Black 2025 brings several confirmed changes:

Carbon face upgrade:
The face moves from 18K carbon on the Pro 4 to 24K carbon on the Pro 5 Black, for a stiffer, more direct response and faster ball exit.

Frame construction:
The Pro 4’s carbon-and-aramid tubular frame is replaced with a 100% carbon frame using Carbon Xtreme reinforcement, aimed at improving stability and energy transfer.

Balance shift:
The Pro 4 played with a medium balance; the Pro 5 Black moves to a high, head-heavy balance, sharpening its identity as a pure attacking racket rather than an all-round power option.

Grip and strap:
The 2025 model introduces an elongated grip suited to two-handed backhands, plus the Switch Strap system that lets players swap the wrist strap for hygiene and personalisation. Neither feature was present on the Pro 4.

We could not confirm a “Lite” version of the Fenix Pro 5 Black for 2025, so no Lite-vs-standard comparison applies to this listing.
