Our verdict

The Starvie Astrum+ 2026 leads with control, making it a reliable choice for intermediates who want precision without sacrificing versatility. At 85 control, it rewards technical players looking to place shots with confidence. Power sits at a solid 78, enough to threaten but not its primary weapon. A well-rounded racket that won't overwhelm you — but won't blow you away either.

We loved
  • Strong control rating ideal for precise shot placement
  • Versatile style suits both defensive and offensive play
  • Comfortable enough for extended sessions at intermediate level
  • Balanced power-control ratio rewards improving players
Worth knowing
  • Power ceiling may frustrate players ready to step up aggressively
  • Unknown specs make it hard to predict feel before purchase
  • Comfort at 78 may not satisfy players prone to arm fatigue
