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.

Starvie Astrum Soft

The Starvie Astrum Soft 2025 is a control-forward frame that earns its description honestly, with a control score of 78 and comfort of 73 that suit intermediate players building a consistent, technical game. Power at 74 sits in the mid-range: enough to threaten from the back, not enough to rely on as a primary weapon. The tolerance rating of 73 adds a forgiving edge, making off-centre contact feel less punishing than comparable frames. PRR score: 80/100.
