Starvie Astrum+ 2027: balance between control and power

The Starvie Astrum+ 2027 is designed for intermediate players who want a versatile racket that can respond confidently in different phases of the point. Its teardrop shape and medium balance create a composed setup that supports control, stability and smooth transitions between defence and attack.

At 350–370 g, the racket combines a 12K Carbon Hyper hitting surface with a M-Eva Balance core. The carbon face is designed to provide sensitivity and a precise contact, while the medium-hard EVA keeps the response firm enough for faster exchanges without turning the racket into an excessively demanding power model.

Within Starvie's 2027 range, the Starvie Astrum+ 2027 sits in the Premium line for intermediate players. At Padel Market, we see it as a model for players who want to keep developing technically with a racket that offers a predictable feel, useful ball output and enough responsiveness to raise the pace when the point opens up.

Key features of the Starvie Astrum+ 2027

The teardrop geometry is one of the keys to the racket's behaviour. Starvie uses this shape to combine useful control with additional attacking potential, while the medium balance avoids concentrating too much mass in the head and keeps the racket easier to reposition.

Its 350–370 g weight range gives the model a solid but manageable presence in the hand. Together with the medium balance, it supports stability on contact while maintaining enough manoeuvrability for volleys, defensive recoveries and changes of direction.

The 12K Carbon Hyper surface uses a 12,000-filament carbon weave with a relatively open structure, intended to increase sensitivity and enlarge the sweet spot. The M-Eva Balance core complements it with a medium-hard response that balances control, power and comfort.

The result is a setup that does not rely on a single strength. The Starvie Astrum+ 2027 is built to give intermediate players a controlled, repeatable response while still offering the structural support required to accelerate the ball when the rally demands it.

Technologies

12K Carbon Hyper

12K Carbon Hyper uses a 12,000-filament carbon weave with a more open structure. Starvie uses it to increase sensitivity, enlarge the sweet spot and provide precise contact without sacrificing useful responsiveness.

M-Eva Balance

M-Eva Balance is a medium-hard EVA developed to combine control, power and comfort. Its balanced response suits players who want a firmer contact than a soft core but do not want the very direct feel of a high-density power foam.

Air Booster

Air Booster is an aerodynamic system that channels air through the racket structure. Its purpose is to improve acceleration and help the player generate racket-head speed and power with a more fluid swing.

Shock Shield

Shock Shield uses a technical rubber element integrated into the frame to absorb vibrations. It also contributes to balance and stability, supporting a more comfortable and controlled response during impact.

Z-Shock

Z-Shock is an anti-shock system positioned in the grip. It is designed to absorb part of the vibrations generated after impact, improving comfort and helping the player maintain a secure hold on the racket.

Who is it recommended for?

The Starvie Astrum+ 2027 is aimed at intermediate players who prioritise versatile, stability and a balanced feel. Its teardrop shape and medium balance make it suitable for players who need a racket that remains manageable but does not feel too light or unstable when the pace rises.

The combination of 12K Carbon Hyper and M-Eva Balance provides a firm, controlled response with enough sensitivity to place the ball accurately. It is particularly coherent for players who want to improve shot selection, timing and consistency without moving immediately to a more demanding professional-level setup.

Rather than specialising exclusively in maximum power, the Starvie Astrum+ 2027 is designed to accompany a complete intermediate game: building the point, defending with control, transitioning forward and accelerating when an attacking opportunity appears.
