“The X Auro 2026 is Nox's budget control offer: an HR3 core in a 365 g build scoring control 75 with kind terms (comfort 75, tolerance 77) and prompt handling (77). Power 63 states the brief. Face documentation is incomplete. Value 82 is excellent. The HR3 core's absorption suits the placement game perfectly: blocks die, lobs obey, arms survive. Alongside the Equation family, the X Auro completes Nox's quiet domination of the sensible end of the market: kind, competent, absurdly priced. Placement-first improvers should shortlist it with the Equation Soft.”
“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.”
