Starvie Triton Pro Lineage
Best for: One of the most powerful rackets on the market today. Technical power racket for advanced players who don't mind how physically-demanding it is. Double layer of uncolored carbon, slightly harder than year's model. The balance has increased slightly compared to last year - ~27cm. With this model, we need to swing through our shots well in order to compensate for its low ball output. Test model weighs 365g.

"This is a very serious racket - one of the most aggressive rackets on the market. Amazing sensation of the ball. Test model weights 373g and balances at 27.6cm...it's a beast. It takes skill and strength to keep up with this racket. And it's a best buy."

""What an incredible racket!" This is the most powerful racket on the market. Last year, this was my second favorite racket, and this year it will be at least on the podium. Power, control, touch...all incredible. This racket suits advanced left-side players. Hard touch. Long, narrow handle. Test model weighs 372g and balances at 28cm."
