Who this racket is for
The StarVie Drax 2025 suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. 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 soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. Its 350-380g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
