Our verdict

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.

We loved
  • 15K carbon face is a genuinely premium-grade material
  • Soft EVA core keeps that high-grade face comfortable to use
  • Versatile enough to suit an all-round advanced game
Worth knowing
  • Premium carbon grade comes with premium pricing
  • Doesn't chase a single extreme, so a specialist frame may suit a narrower need better

StarVie pairs a high-grade 15K carbon face with a soft core rather than a firm one, so the racket delivers a premium-tier response without feeling harsh. It's a strong choice for an advanced player who wants a genuine all-rounder rather than a narrow specialist.
