The Siux Obsidian Elite 2027 combines a teardrop shape with low balance. As a result the weight sits closer to your hand than on attack-tuned teardrop models. The 3K carbon hitting face sits on a soft EVA Soft core. That gives a damped feel on contact and produces ball exit even on slow, placed shots. At 365 grams the racket is not light: the weight brings calm to the contact point but costs strength over a long match.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; the low balance makes it feel more manoeuvrable than its weight suggests. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 6 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.6 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 92% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. 4 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €217.95 to €385 – a €167 difference for the same model.

Our classification: Intermediate. Its forgiveness is 7.6 out of 10 – forgiving, wide hitting area.
The Siux Obsidian Elite 2027 weighs 365 g and has a teardrop shape, a low (manoeuvrable) balance and a soft core (EVA Soft). The frame is made of Carbon 3K.
Not by our rule: 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
