Royal Padel Whip Polietileno

The Royal Padel Whip Polietileno 2026 is a comfort-forward frame with a polyethylene core that absorbs impact and reduces vibration across long sessions. Power at 82 and control at 73 describe a frame that can generate pace on overheads while remaining approachable for intermediate players. Comfort at 72 is solid. Maneuverability at 66 is the trade-off: net reactions require early positioning. PRR score: 83/100.

Astrum Soft 15K

The Astrum Soft 15K pairs a genuinely premium 15K carbon face with a soft EVA core, positioned by StarVie as a discerning player's all-round tool rather than a narrow power or control specialist. The soft core keeps the high-grade face's response comfortable rather than harsh.
