{"title":"Hirostar Padel Rackets","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003eHirostar padel rackets 2026\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHirostar is an Italian padel brand built around a straightforward idea: every racket in the range should have a clear identity and a specific player in mind. The brand does not produce dozens of models across every price point. Instead, it focuses on a small, defined collection where each racket occupies a distinct position and serves a distinct purpose. At PadelShop.com we carry the full Hirostar range, including the four models that form the current lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p3\"\u003eAbout Hirostar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHirostar designs and builds its rackets in Italy, combining high-grade carbon constructions with Italian craftsmanship and a distinctive aesthetic approach. The brand works directly with professional players to develop its signature lines, most notably through its ongoing collaboration with Tolito Aguirre, the Argentine professional known for his explosive attacking game and creative playing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhat makes Hirostar stand out technically is the deliberate choice of materials at each tier. The brand uses 12K, 18K and 24K carbon across its range, each chosen for a specific performance character rather than as a hierarchy of price. The 24K construction in the Alien Pro delivers maximum rigidity and explosive response. The 18K in the Redstone provides fast ball exit at a more elastic feel. The 12K in the Alien Core offers versatility and control without sacrificing attack geometry. These are considered choices, not filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p4\"\u003eThe Hirostar range at PadelShop.com\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p5\"\u003eHirostar Alien Pro 2026\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eThe flagship of the Alien family and Tolito Aguirre's primary signature racket. The Alien Pro is built for advanced and expert players who play padel with maximum intensity. It uses a 24K carbon face, EVA Black X-Treme core and a diamond shape with high balance. This is a racket with no margin for compromise: it rewards technically consistent, aggressive players with extraordinary power and spin, and it demands the technique and physical conditioning to match. The 2026 version updates the design with Cosmic Blu accents while maintaining the construction that made it a reference in elite attacking play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p5\"\u003eHirostar Alien Core 2026\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eThe more controlled expression of the Alien family. The Core shares the diamond shape and aerodynamic bridge of the Pro but uses 12K carbon and a softer EVA Black core, producing a more elastic, forgiving response. It is the right choice for advanced players who want the attack profile of the Alien line without the full demands of the Pro's 24K construction, and for strong intermediate players who are ready for a diamond shape but not yet ready for a 24K surface. The Xeno Green design gives it a bold visual identity that matches its playing character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p5\"\u003eHirostar Redstone 2025\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eA diamond racket with an unusual approach: medium-low balance rather than the high balance typical of the shape. The Redstone uses 18K carbon and a Black EVA 17 core, and the low balance point makes it significantly more maneuverable than a conventional high-balance diamond. Players get the explosive ball exit of the diamond geometry without the arm load and slower repositioning that comes with a head-heavy construction. This is the Hirostar for players who want to dictate the game with precision and controlled aggression rather than raw overhead power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p5\"\u003eHirostar Blackstone — coming soon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe fourth model in the Hirostar range at PadelShop.com.

All four models in the current range are diamond-shaped, which means they are designed for players with a developed technique and a clear preference for an attacking or control-attacking game. They are not beginner or intermediate rackets in the conventional sense. If you are looking for your first padel racket or are still developing your technique, we would direct you toward other brands in our range first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFor advanced players who value Italian design, precise material choices and a racket with a clear identity on court, Hirostar is genuinely worth considering. The Alien Pro and Alien Core give access to the same construction philosophy as one of the most creative players on the professional tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p3\"\u003eWhy buy Hirostar at PadelShop.com?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p7\"\u003eWe carry the full Hirostar range and can advise on which model fits your technique, physical build and playing style.

They are built for players with developed technique who play an attacking game. Beginners and early intermediate players will get much more from a round or teardrop racket from another brand. If you are unsure what level you are at, contact us and we will advise you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p5\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the Alien Pro and the Alien Core?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eThe Pro uses 24K carbon and EVA Black X-Treme core, making it harder, more rigid and more explosive but also more demanding. The Core uses 12K carbon and EVA Black core, making it more elastic, more forgiving and easier to use across all phases of the game. Both are diamond-shaped with the same aerodynamic bridge and Smart Holes System. The Pro is for players who play exclusively aggressive and have the technique to exploit a 24K surface. The Core is for players who want attack geometry with more versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p5\"\u003eWhat makes the Redstone different from the Alien models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eThe Redstone uses 18K carbon and has a medium-low balance, which is unusual for a diamond racket. Most diamonds concentrate weight at the top. The Redstone keeps the diamond geometry but distributes weight closer to the handle, making it more maneuverable and easier on the arm than a high-balance model. It suits players who want diamond performance with more control and less physical demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p5\"\u003eCan I test a Hirostar racket before buying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eYes.

high-density carbon weave that delivers maximum rigidity and explosive responsiveness at impact. Compared to lower carbon specifications, 24K carbon transfers energy directly and efficiently, producing heavy ball output on smashes, overheads, and accelerated shots. This is the same construction used on the original Alien PRO and carried through to the 2026 version because it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p4\"\u003eEVA Black X-Treme core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003eThe EVA Black X-Treme core is tuned for a compact, powerful feel. It provides the firmness that advanced attacking players need to execute decisive shots without delay or unwanted flex, while retaining enough feel to maintain precision on technical shots at pace. The combination of 24K carbon and EVA Black X-Treme is what gives this racket its distinctive character: hard, fast, direct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p4\"\u003eAnti-vibration aerodynamic bridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003eThe central bridge has an aerodynamic design with strategic openings that improve airflow during the swing. This reduces air resistance at the moment of impact and, more importantly, disperses vibrations before they travel into the handle. The result is structural stability and a cleaner feel at contact, which matters during high-intensity rallies where even subtle discomfort affects execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p4\"\u003eHirostar Smart Holes System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003eThe distribution of holes on the face is not standard. Hirostar's Smart Holes System refines hole placement to expand the effective impact area and improve aerodynamics across the swing. In practice, the racket remains maneuverable despite its attacking profile important for players who need to recover between shots without losing the ability to accelerate when the opportunity presents itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p4\"\u003eSandblasted matte surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe matte finish with diffused sandblasting treatment increases the friction coefficient between racket face and ball. This directly translates to more effective spin generation on viboras, bandejas, and effect smashes. Advanced players who use these shots as tactical weapons will notice the difference. The texture is not just cosmetic — it is a functional finishing choice that rewards deliberate, technical shot-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p6\"\u003eWho is this racket for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Hirostar Alien Pro 2026 is built for advanced and professional players who play an attacking game. The diamond shape with high balance pushes mass toward the head, maximising inertia and ball weight on overhead shots. This is not a forgiving racket. It rewards players who swing decisively and reach the sweet spot consistently. Players who are still developing their technique or who play a control-first game will find the 24K carbon too demanding the Alien CORE 2026 is the better choice for those players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e: advanced and expert players · attacking game style · net-dominant, smash-focused players · players with technically consistent ball contact · players who use spin as a tactical weapon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot recommended for\u003c\/strong\u003e: beginners or intermediate players · players with arm sensitivity · players seeking a control-first or defensive racket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p6\"\u003eAbout Tolito Aguirre\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFrancisco 'Tolito' Aguirre is an Argentine professional padel player known for his explosive attacking game, powerful smash and creative shot-making. His nickname stems from his approach to the game: playing with instinct, intensity and a style that is distinctly his own. The slogan on the original Alien — 'el que tiene magia no necesita trucos' (the one who has magic does not need tricks) — captures this philosophy precisely. The Alien Pro is built around his game and his identity, and the 2026 version is the most developed expression of that racket to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p10\"\u003eWhy buy at PadelShop.com?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li11\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFast delivery — order before 16:00 and your racket ships today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li11\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFree delivery from 50 euros\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li11\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePersonal advice via WhatsApp, phone or email\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li11\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eProfessional racket test on location in Alphen aan den Rijn — €29.95\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hirostar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420374278492,"sku":"Hirostaralienpro","price":314.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/5736\/5640\/files\/73_712f74b4-d1ac-4a2a-a46a-909b6ecd02c9.png?v=1776859150"},{"product_id":"hirostar-alien-core-2026-padel-racket","title":"Hirostar Alien Core 2026 padel racket","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003eHirostar Alien Core 2026 padel racket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Hirostar Alien Core 2026 is the controlled expression of Tolito Aguirre's Alien family.

It delivers a more elastic feel at impact — the ball stays on the face fractionally longer, which translates to better control on technical shots, more feel on volleys and a more forgiving response on shots hit slightly off the sweet spot. At the same time, 12K carbon still provides strong ball output on well-timed attacks. It is a more versatile surface than 24K, and the right choice for players who want attacking capability without the full rigidity of the PRO version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p11\"\u003eEVA Black core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p12\"\u003eThe EVA Black core is softer than the X-Treme version used in the Alien PRO, tuned for comfort and consistent ball output across all shot types. It cushions impact and reduces vibration, making the racket easier to play for extended sessions. The softer core also works well with the more elastic 12K surface: together they produce a cohesive, controlled response that rewards precision and rewards touch without sacrificing the ability to accelerate when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p11\"\u003eAnti-vibration aerodynamic bridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p12\"\u003eThe central bridge uses the same aerodynamic design as the PRO: strategic openings that improve airflow during the swing and dissipate vibrations before they reach the handle. This keeps the racket stable and comfortable during high-intensity rallies, which is particularly valuable in a more control-oriented racket where the player is generating more of their own timing and feel rather than relying purely on material stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p11\"\u003eHirostar Smart Holes System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p12\"\u003eThe Smart Holes System refines hole distribution across the face to expand the effective sweet spot and improve aerodynamics through the swing.

The textured finish increases friction with the ball, enabling aggressive spin generation on viboras, bandejas and effect smashes.

At this density, carbon transfers energy directly at impact, producing a crisp, responsive feel on every shot. Combined with the low balance, this makes the Redstone a racket that responds immediately without requiring the player to generate extra swing speed to activate it.
