Pros

  • It's a good racket for a defensive player. Blocks respond very well.
  • In the aerial game, it feels very firm. Even though I mishit several of the smashes, the racket responds very well and helped me knock the ball out X3 several times in a row.
  • Easy to manage in the back, very pleasant sensations from the beginning. Medium touch, very comfortable, very very maneuverable. The ball goes very well, not an excessive ball output, but it helps you a lot. It defends very well.

Cons

  • May not suit all play styles

About the Starvie Astrum Eris

Astrum Eris

Bea Gonazales’s is probably the most well-reviewed Starvie of the year.

With the mix of fiberglass and carbon fiber in the surface, you have a versatile, tolerant round-shaped racket that is great all-around around the court.

Reviewers point out that its soft core has high ball out that creates a slight absorption and rebound effect, which is dangerous at the net, but if you “keep calm” then you won’t have any problems.

"Easy power, good handling make this a playable racket in the high range. Easy to feel the quality. This is a very pleasant frame that works for a right side player or a left side player who prefers viboras and bandejas to smashes. It gives a very versatile game, above all a tolerant, comfortable racket. Good alternative to the meteor easier to play with."

Padel Review

Dec 27, 2022

"I'm disappointed I didn't try this racket sooner. I like it a lot more than the Starvie Meteor. Despite being round, this racket is more for power than control. "Keep Calm" at the net, so as to not through the ball into the glass. The handle is narrow, and the wristband is short."
