Starvie Triton T-ONE 2027
The StarVie Triton T-One is Tamara Icardo signature racket, one of the most technical female players on the World Padel Tour. A pro diamond with a surprisingly maneuverable character: built around the 18K Carbon Hybrid face, M-EVA Balance core and the Power Balance system. Our measurement shows why this racket is special: pro diamond power combined with control racket maneuverability.
Our measurement
The core characteristics at a glance
Measured on our Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro. Real numbers, not box copy.
Hard. At 65 the core sits in the hard range, matching the attacking character of the diamond shape. The M-EVA Balance core (medium-hard rubber) gives you a direct, firm feel on hard shots without the brute directness of a pure hard-hard combination.
Our hardness scale
Very maneuverable. At 147 the swingweight sits exceptionally low for a pro diamond. On court you feel a racket that gets you to the ball lightning-fast, which is remarkable for a diamond. This combination of diamond shape with very maneuverable swing makes the Triton T-One unique: attacking DNA with the maneuverability of a control racket.
Our swingweight scale
347 to 366 grams
medium
In practice: a pro diamond that surprises with its maneuverability. The combination of hard core (65) and very maneuverable swingweight (147) is unusual: you get the attacking power of a diamond but with the reaction speed of a lighter racket. Perfect for Tamara Icardo signature versatile attacking play.
Who is this racket for
Well suited to: the advanced to pro player with versatile attacking playing style. The diamond shape rewards attacking shots, while the very maneuverable swingweight and medium balance let you react fast everywhere on court. Particularly suitable for female players (or male) who want to play attacking without the heaviness of a classic pro diamond.
Less suited to: pure attacking power players wanting maximum head weight (then a classic pro diamond with higher balance is more obvious); beginners.
Playing characteristics
The diamond shape places the sweet spot high in the face, where you need it on smashes and attacking volleys. But unlike a classic attack diamond, the Triton T-One has a medium balance (not high) and an exceptionally low swingweight, giving a unique feel: you get the attacking leverage of the diamond shape without the slow swing that usually comes with it. The M-EVA Balance core (medium-hard rubber) delivers explosive response on hard shots. The 18K Carbon Hybrid face gives a medium-hard feel: firm and direct, but not brutal.
Technology
The Triton T-One combines the Power Balance system with StarVie Lab technologies and a unique Anatomic Bridge Design for comfort on two-handed backhand:
- Power Balance system: built-in weights in the frame you can move yourself. More weight in the head for extra attacking power, more towards the handle for maneuverability. Note: the weights are not included and available separately.
- 18K Carbon Hybrid face: medium-density carbon balancing power and comfort. Firm on pro-level shots without the brutality of 24K carbon.
- M-EVA Balance core: medium-hard rubber balancing control and power.
- Anatomic Bridge Design: anatomical bridge for better two-handed backhand grip. More comfort and hold on that specific shot.
- Air Booster: aerodynamic system increasing your swing speed. Faster to the ball with less effort.
- Tri-Force Core: tri-directional structure in the heart improving balance and delivering a more solid response on impact.
- Hexa Cell: hexagonal structure along the frame reinforcing it against heavy impact.
- A-Shock: anti-vibration rubber in the handle dampening vibrations.
- Spin Boost Tech: textured surface for extra spin and effect.
- Z-Shock grip: anti-shock grip absorbing vibrations and providing firmer hold.

Frequently asked questions
Why is this diamond so maneuverable?
The Triton T-One is an exception in the world of pro diamonds. In most pro diamonds attacking power comes from a high balance (26+ cm) and stiff swingweight (170+). With the Triton T-One StarVie deliberately chose medium balance and very low swingweight, combined with the Power Balance system letting you choose if you want more head weight. The result: a diamond you swing effortlessly through the air but with the attacking leverage of the shape.
Who is Tamara Icardo?
Tamara Icardo is a top pro player on the World Padel Tour, known for her technical, versatile play. She combines attacking power with precision and tactical insight, which perfectly matches the character of the Triton T-One: attacking but not brutal, versatile but not weak.
Are the Power Balance weights included?
No, with the Triton T-One the Power Balance rubbers are not included. They are available separately if you want to adjust the balance. Without the extra weights the racket plays with the measurements shown above (medium balance, very maneuverable swingweight).
Is the Triton T-One suitable with a sensitive elbow?
Cautiously positive. The hard core (65) is not ideal, but the very maneuverable swingweight (147), medium balance, A-Shock dampening and Z-Shock grip compensate a lot. With light to moderate elbow sensitivity this racket is workable. With clear padel elbow a rounder, softer racket is wiser.
