Starvie Kenta wins by 11 points
Starvie Kenta scores 83/100 against 72/100 for the Adidas Control. Its biggest edge is power (+9). The Adidas Control answers back on maneuverability (+4).
“The Control Blue 2026 is adidas at its plainest: an EVA core under a carbon-fibreglass face scoring control 76 with kind terms (comfort 74, tolerance 76) and prompt handling (74). Power 62 states the single-minded brief. Weight documentation is incomplete. Value 78 is honest. The name is the specification: this frame places the ball and does nothing else, at money that respects the modesty. For placement-first improvers who want the trefoil without flagship pricing, it serves plainly; the Cross It Team Ctrl a shelf up adds polish for a little more.”
“The Starvie Kenta 2026 is a diamond frame with an EVA foam core and Carbon 12K face, built for players who want directional control from a head-shape that still carries weight. Control at 84 leads the profile. Tolerance at 76 and comfort at 75 confirm a forgiving, arm-friendly character. Power at 71 is the honest trade-off. PRR score: 83/100.”
