Who this racket is for
The StarVie Astrum + is designed for competition or pro-level players who prioritise performance and precision over comfort. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
