Hirostar Padel Rackets
Hirostar padel rackets 2026
Hirostar 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.
About Hirostar
Hirostar 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.
What 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.
The Hirostar range at PadelShop.com
Hirostar Alien Pro 2026
The 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.
Hirostar Alien Core 2026
The 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.
Hirostar Redstone 2025
A 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.

Who plays with Hirostar?
Hirostar rackets are positioned at the advanced and expert end of the market. 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.
For 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.

Frequently asked questions
Are Hirostar rackets suitable for beginners?
No. All Hirostar models in the current range are diamond-shaped with advanced carbon constructions. 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.
What is the difference between the Alien Pro and the Alien Core?
The 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.
What makes the Redstone different from the Alien models?
The 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.
Can I test a Hirostar racket before buying?
Yes. At our Padel Experience Center in Alphen aan den Rijn you can test rackets from the Hirostar range on a professional court. A racket test costs €29.95. We recommend testing before buying at this price level.
