Ratings, shape, weight, balance, feel and prices side by side — and which one suits your game.
In short: the Siux Fenix Elite 6 2026 is cheaper today (from €125).
Both are diamond rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.
Feel: hard for the Babolat Technical Viper Soft 3.0 2026, medium-hard for the Siux Fenix Elite 6 2026. Softer cores give easier depth at low speed and more comfort; harder cores reward fast swings with precision.
Faces: Soft Carbon versus 3K carbon.
