About Franco
Franco "Stupa" Stupaczuk (born 1996, Chaco, Argentina) is one of professional padel's most explosive left-siders, a perennial top-7 player whose career-high FIP ranking is No. 5. He is a World Champion with Argentina and won the Qatar Major in 2023, and for 2026 he partners Spain's Miguel "Mike" Yanguas. His game runs on a devastating smash and a sharp aerial bandeja and víbora, built to punish any opening. His signature Siux Electra Pro ST5 Fire Red 2026 fits that style: a 12K-carbon hybrid with a hard EVA core and rough finish, tuned for attack with the control to defend. Padel USA ships genuine Stupaczuk rackets fast from the US.

What makes Stupaczuk's left-side game so dangerous?
Stupaczuk is a classic explosive left-sider built around an attacking, aerial game. He finishes points with a powerful smash and sharp bandeja and víbora, reads lobs well, and uses fast reflexes to accelerate the rally and pounce on any opening from the backhand side.
Is the Siux Electra Pro ST5 Fire Red 2026 a control or a power racket?
It is an aggressive power-and-control hybrid. The teardrop-leaning shape lifts the sweet spot for explosive smashes and attacking pop, while the medium balance and firm response keep enough control to defend. It leans toward power without giving up the all-court game.
Who should play the Electra Pro ST5 Fire Red?
This is a demanding racket aimed at advanced and competitive players. With a 12K-carbon face, hard EVA core, roughly 8/10 stiffness and a 355-375 g weight, it rewards a confident swing and clean technique rather than a beginner or casual player.
Why does the racket have a rough, sandy finish?
The Electra Pro ST5 uses a rough, sandy matte surface over its 12K-carbon face to grip the ball for extra spin and bite. That helps Stupaczuk load his víbora and smashes with heavy rotation, and gives advanced players sharper control on cut and topspin shots.
Who is Franco Stupaczuk's padel partner?
For the 2026 season Stupaczuk plays the left side alongside Spain's Miguel "Mike" Yanguas, reuniting a pairing that first formed in 2024 and won a Premier Padel title in Egypt. Yanguas covers the right side, complementing Stupa's aerial attack.
