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.

Vibor A Black Mamba Pro 2.0

The Black Mamba Pro 2.0 is a mid-tier power weapon built around a firm EVA core and hybrid shape that delivers satisfying pace on smashes and drives without the pinpoint precision of higher-end rivals. The even balance keeps it manageable for advanced players transitioning from control-oriented rackets, though off-centre hits expose a somewhat punishing sweet spot that demands consistent technique. Aggressive baseliners who want punch and explosiveness without spending on premium brands will find this a credible, honest option at its price point.
