Alkemia Tenebris wins by 8 points
Alkemia Tenebris scores 80/100 against 72/100 for the Starvie Arkos. Its biggest edge is control (+10).
“The Alkemia Tenebris 2026 is a head-light control frame at 360 g with an EVA foam core, built for intermediate players who want exceptional directional precision. Control at 84 is the headline, and the head-light balance at 360 g keeps the frame quick to position at the net. Maneuverability at 78 and tolerance at 79 both confirm an accessible, forgiving character. Power at 68 is the honest trade-off. PRR score: 80/100.”
“The Arkos 2026 is StarVie's kind control frame at a sensible weight for once: 365 g, head-light, with a fibreglass face scoring control 74 with genuinely kind terms (comfort 74, tolerance 76) and prompt handling (76). Power 62 states the placement brief plainly. Value 74 carries a modest craft premium. This is the StarVie for the brand's gentlest audience: placement-first improvers who want handmade Spanish construction without the house's usual mass. Within the brand it is the easiest recommendation on the shelf; against the control bargains it pays a small premium for the story.”
