Hirostar Redstone 2025 padel racket

The Hirostar Redstone is a diamond-shaped racket with a low balance — an unusual combination that sets it apart from most attacking rackets. Most diamonds concentrate weight at the top for maximum overhead power. The Redstone keeps the diamond geometry but shifts the balance toward the handle, giving players access to the explosive ball exit of a diamond shape with the maneuverability and arm comfort typically associated with round or teardrop rackets. The result is a racket for technically confident players who want to dictate the game with precision, speed, and controlled aggression.

Technology and construction

18K Carbon surface The 18K carbon face delivers high rigidity and fast ball exit. 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. The surface has a sandblasted texture throughout, which increases friction with the ball and allows precise spin generation on worked shots.

Black EVA 17 core The Black EVA 17 core sits at a medium density, tuned to provide a balanced feel between touch and elastic response. It is neither as soft as a comfort-oriented core nor as firm as the X-Treme construction found in the most aggressive attacking rackets. This middle position gives the Redstone its character: enough feel for precision play, enough firmness for decisive ball output when needed.

Anti-vibration bridge The Hirostar anti-vibration bridge is integrated directly into the frame structure, not added as a separate component. It reduces the vibrations that travel into the handle on off-centre contact and on high-intensity shots, which protects the arm during extended play and keeps the racket feeling stable across the full swing.

Matte sandblasted finish with glossy and metallic accents The sandblasted surface serves a functional purpose beyond aesthetics. It increases the friction coefficient between face and ball, enabling complex spin patterns to be applied with precision. The glossy and metallic accents are a design detail that gives the Redstone its distinctive appearance without affecting the playing surface.

What makes the Redstone different

Most diamond rackets are built around a high balance point, which pushes mass toward the top of the head and maximises power on smashes and overheads. This comes at a cost: the racket is harder to manoeuvre in defence, transitions, and quick net exchanges.

The Redstone inverts this logic. The diamond shape keeps the angular geometry and the agile ball exit that comes with it, but the low balance brings the weight distribution closer to the handle. This makes the racket significantly more maneuverable than a conventional high-balance diamond, which means the player can use it offensively and defensively without switching rackets between phases of the game.

For players who find high-balance diamonds too demanding on the arm or too slow to reposition, the Redstone offers an alternative route to diamond performance.

Who is this racket for?

The Redstone suits advanced players who play a technically precise, tactically varied game. It is particularly well matched to players who use the full court, alternate between attack and defence within the same point, and rely on spin and placement as much as raw power. It also works well for players who want a diamond-shaped racket but have arm sensitivity that makes high-balance models unsuitable.

Ideal for: advanced players, control-oriented attacking game, players who combine precision and aggression, players with arm sensitivity who still want a diamond shape, players who find high-balance rackets too demanding

Not recommended for: beginners or players still developing technique, players who want pure overhead power above all else
