Hirostar Alien Pro 2026 padel racket

The Hirostar Alien Pro 2026 is Tolito Aguirre's signature racket in its third evolution. Built for advanced players who play padel with intensity and a constant intention to finish the point, the Alien Pro is one of the most technically uncompromising attacking rackets available today. It delivers exactly what its specifications promise: explosive power, aggressive spin, and immediate response when the moment calls for it.

Specifications

Technology and construction

24K Carbon surface

The face is built with 24K carbon — a 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.

EVA Black X-Treme core

The 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.

Anti-vibration aerodynamic bridge

The 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.

Hirostar Smart Holes System

The 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.

Sandblasted matte surface

The 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.

Who is this racket for?

The 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.

Ideal for: 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

Not recommended for: beginners or intermediate players · players with arm sensitivity · players seeking a control-first or defensive racket

About Tolito Aguirre

Francisco '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.
