StarVie Phantom 2027 Padel Racket

The StarVie Phantom 2027 is a round padel racket from StarVie's Premium line, made for intermediate players who build points with control and placement. Its low balance keeps the weight close to your hand, so it stays quick in fast exchanges at the net, and the soft core lets the ball come off the face without a big swing.

The hitting face is 12K Carbon Hyper, a carbon weave of 12,000 filaments. On the Phantom it widens the sweet spot and keeps the feel soft, so shots you catch slightly off centre still stay under control. StarVie also gives the face a textured finish it calls Spin Boost Tech, which helps the ball grip when you slice or cut it.

Under the face sits S-EVA Flex, a soft density rubber. It makes ball exit easier on slower, placed shots and keeps impacts comfortable, so you can play a patient game without forcing every ball.

The frame is built to stay stable around that soft core. Precision Bridge reinforces the heart of the racket, and CoreAxis runs a structural axis through the profile that adds rigidity for a firmer, more solid hit. The face uses Reactive Holes, a curved hole pattern StarVie designed for stability and cleaner ball exit.

Longer Handgrip gives the Phantom an extended handle for a more secure hold, and Z-Shock in the grip absorbs part of the vibration after each impact.

If you like the Phantom's intermediate level but want a little more help when you attack, the StarVie Metheora+ 2027 sits in the same Premium line with a hybrid shape and medium balance, which suits a more all-round game.
