The Starvie Raptor+ is designed for versatile players who want a racket with the perfect balance of power, control, and maneuverability. The teardrop head shape combined with a neutral balance offers an ideal mix of power and precision, while the new M-EVA Balance core delivers a medium feel where ball output, control, and comfort come together seamlessly.

Head Shape, Weight, and Balance

The Raptor+ features a teardrop shape with the standard 38 mm thickness. It weighs approx. 358 grams (+/- 8 g) and has a neutral weight distribution, making it maneuverable and easy to control without losing hitting power.

Materials

The hitting surface is made of 3D Carbon, a carbon fiber structure that increases stability and reduces deformation at impact. The core is built with M-EVA Balance foam, which offers a medium-hard feel with a well-balanced combination of power and control. The frame is designed with a five-sided profile, adding extra stability and precision.

3 tips to extend the lifespan of your padel racket

1. Use a frame protector

Fit a frame protector to your racket to minimise damage from contact with the court glass or metal mesh. It is a simple addition that may not look like much, but it can help extend the life of your racket by protecting it from knocks and scratches.

2. Avoid extreme temperatures

Store your racket at a stable room temperature. Over time, both very high and very low temperatures can weaken the foam in the racket core and reduce performance. Avoid leaving your racket in places such as a cold car boot or close to a hot radiator.

3. Protect your racket during transport

Keep your racket in a bag or cover to protect it from scratches, dirt and knocks. This is especially important during transport or storage between matches, as proper storage helps reduce wear and tear.

3 tips to get the most out of your padel racket

1. Choose the right racket for your level and playing style

Choose a racket that matches your level and playing style. New players may benefit from a racket with a softer face and a large sweetspot, while more experienced players often prefer a stiffer construction with more emphasis on precision or power.

2. Replace your overgrip regularly

Replacing your overgrip regularly helps maintain a fresh grip and improves comfort and control. A worn grip can cause the racket to slip in your hand and put extra strain on your wrist and forearm during play.

3. Upgrade your racket when the time is right

Over time, the foam in the racket core loses its elasticity and performance. This means you will no longer get the same response from your shots. If you have been using the same racket for several seasons or notice a drop in its performance, it is a sign that it is time to invest in a new one.
