StarVie Raptor+ 2026 Padel Racket

The StarVie Raptor+ 2026 is an all-court teardrop racket for intermediate and advanced players who want power and control from one frame. Its medium balance keeps it quick at the net, and a new adjustable weight system lets you move that balance slightly toward the head or the handle as your game develops.

• Shape: Teardrop
• Weight: 350 to 370 g
• Balance: Medium, adjustable by up to 0.3 cm
• Thickness: 38 mm
• Face: 3D Carbon with a rough finish
• Core: M-Eva Balance foam, medium feel
• Level: Intermediate to advanced

The face uses StarVie's 3D Carbon, a textured carbon layer that resists deforming on impact, so the racket returns energy to the ball consistently and holds up better over time. A rough surface finish, which StarVie calls Spin Boost Tech, adds grip on the ball for slices and topspin. Behind it, the M-Eva Balance core is a medium-density foam. It is softer than the H-Eva Power core in StarVie's firmer models, which gives you enough output on overheads while staying comfortable on volleys and blocks.

Two features are new for 2026. Dynamic Star is a removable central piece that comes with two weight options, and swapping it shifts the balance point by up to 0.3 cm. Anti-Vibe is a vibration-absorbing rubber that reduces the shock travelling into your wrist and elbow on off-centre hits. The frame uses Five Sides Tech, an angular profile that adds stiffness for more precise placement. The face has Reactive Holes, a curved drilling pattern aimed at stability and ball output.

If you like the Dynamic Star and Anti-Vibe setup but want a firmer core and more power, the StarVie Black Titan 2026 is the step up. Players who prefer a diamond head with the same M-Eva Balance foam should compare it with the Triton+ Balance 2026.
