Siux Diablo Pro 4 2025 — Review
The Diablo Pro 4 2025 is the latest evolution of Siux’s most iconic line. A hybrid/tear shape, medium balance and 18K Textreme carbon faces make it a truly versatile frame for advanced players who want to dictate play both from the back and at net, with a premium, connected feel.
Verdict
The Diablo Pro 4 keeps the core Diablo DNA intact: firm feel, high stability and a strong balance between power and control. It’s not a wild cannon nor a super-plush comfort frame — it’s a technical weapon for players who like to feel the ball, accelerate when needed and keep accuracy at high tempo. If you’re advanced and want a single racket to cover every phase of the point, this belongs on your shortlist.

On-court performance
Back of the court
From the back, the Diablo Pro 4 rewards good positioning and clean contact. The hybrid shape and medium balance help you generate depth without massive swings, but it clearly prefers contact in front of the body with solid footwork. On wall exits the mid-density core plus 18K faces give a nice blend of control and progressive acceleration.
At the net
This is where the frame really shines. Blocks feel extremely stable even against heavy balls, and the contact window is firm and predictable. Aggressive volleys stay deep and you feel confident aiming at lines, corners and opponents’ feet.
Overheads
Bandejas come out heavy and controlled, and viboras gain a noticeable spin boost from the 18K Textreme surface. On smashes, it may not match the wildest head-heavy diamonds, but there’s more than enough power for advanced players to clear the fence or hit through defenders.
Comfort & vibrations
The feel is medium-firm with acceptable filtering for a Pro-range racket. It’s not a pillow-soft comfort frame, yet it doesn’t feel brutally harsh either. Players used to stiff carbon will find the balance fair, while those coming from very soft frames will need a short adaptation period.
Who it’s for / not for
Great fit if…
- You’re an advanced player who likes firm, stable rackets.
- You want a single versatile frame for both back-court and net play.
- You’re moving from a control frame and want extra punch without losing precision.
Skip it if…
- You’re a beginner or low-intermediate.
- Maximum arm comfort is your top priority.
- You want effortless power with minimal technique.
