Basalto Osiris

Coki Nieto’s Basalto Osiris from Starvie is a head heavy medium touch teardrop with significant ball exit to propel the ball easily from the back of the court, however, it may cause problems with maneuverability at the front of the court.

Several reviewers found the handle too narrow and the strap uncomfortably rigid.

Recommended for intermediate and advanced players only.

"Advanced level racket with a hard, dry touch. The handle is too short, but it is one of the best buys under €300. The vibration-reducing core is effective."

"This racket fits players intermediate and up, helps you in some aspects but you need a certain technique to make sure you don't shoot balls into the glass. This racket is best for players who want to improve their offensive game - they are already defending well."

"Medium touch - reminds me of Adipower CTRL 3.0, reminds me of AT10 Genius of 2022, but a little more ball exit."

"This is a medium touch, high balance "heady" racket. The ball runs in volleys and in the aerial game. It suits players who are comfortable defending and want to improve their attack. Tested in 30 degrees celsius in Madrid. Medium hardness. Balance measured at 27.6cm."
