Starvie Metheora+ 2027

The StarVie Metheora+ 2027 is a hybrid racket with a medium balance, developed for intermediate players who want to play versatile. The 12K Carbon Hyper face provides a wide sweetspot, while the M-EVA Balance core is medium-hard for a solid but comfortable feel. Combines control and power in one racket.

Who suits this racket

Well suited to: intermediate: players who want to play versatile and who both attack and defend. The hybrid shape works on different shots: smash, bandeja, volley and chiquita.

Less suited to: players who look for maximum power (they are better off with a diamond) or who play exclusively for control (they are better off with a round racket). In that case have a look at our selection of rackets for padel elbow.

How does this racket play?

The sweetspot of a hybrid racket sits centrally and is generous. Shots you do not hit exactly perfectly keep their pace, and you have margin at the impact points.

Where this racket excels: versatile play. Smash, bandeja, volley and chiquita all work sharp. Our measurement: 353 grams, swingweight 151.

The technology: what do you notice?

• 12K Carbon Hyper (the face): carbon face built from 12,000 filaments. What you notice: a wider sweetspot than standard 18K carbon, with a softer feel on impact. The ball comes off the face in a controlled way.
• M-EVA Balance (the core): medium-hard rubber core. What you notice: firm but not rock-hard. Enough feedback on your shots to keep control, with enough comfort to play for a long time.
• Precision Bridge: construction in the heart of the racket that reinforces the structure. What you notice: the frame does not turn on impact, even on shots you do not hit exactly in the middle.
• Core Axis: structural axis in the profile of the frame. Provides extra firmness and a balanced impact.
• SpinBoost (rough texture): textured face surface. What you notice: the ball grips better, giving extra spin on shots like bandeja and vibora.
• Longer Handgrip + Z-Shock: longer handle with anti-shock rubber that absorbs vibrations. Comfortable during long rallies.
