StarVie Kenta+ 2026 Padel Racket

The StarVie Kenta+ 2026 is a round control racket for intermediate players who are still refining their technique and want a racket that forgives the odd mishit. The balance sits in the middle and the feel is soft, so it suits players who win points with placement and consistency.

• Shape: Round
• Balance: Medium
• Weight: 350 to 365 g
• Thickness: 38 mm
• Face: 12K Carbon Hyper
• Core: S-Eva Flex, soft density
• Level: Intermediate
• Play style: Control

The 12K Carbon Hyper face widens the sweet spot, and the round head keeps that sweet spot centred, so contact that drifts off the middle still comes back with some accuracy. A textured Spin Boost finish on the face helps the ball grip when you slice or add topspin. The S-Eva Flex core uses soft-density EVA foam, which lets the ball come off the face easily and keeps the feel light and comfortable.

Inside the core, StarVie's Geo Bridge adds a hexagonal structure that stiffens the racket and helps it move through the air faster, and the Reactive Holes pattern adds stability through the hitting area. The handle is longer than standard, giving more room on the grip, and the Z-Shock grip system absorbs part of each impact before it reaches your hand, which cuts down vibration and makes longer sessions more comfortable.

If you are newer to padel and want something easier to handle, the StarVie Nyra is also round but has a low balance and a fiberglass face. If you want more pace from the same 12K Carbon Hyper face, the StarVie Drax+ moves to a teardrop shape and a firmer medium-high density core for a more all-round game.
