Our verdict
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.
Shot placement here is precise and genuinely trustworthy, and comfort with tolerance both stay kind through extended sessions — a versatile racket that suits both defensive rallying and point construction. It's an easy frame to build a technical game around. Finishing pace from the back is limited, so this isn't built to end points from distance, and shape and balance aren't confirmed in our data, which makes the swing feel harder to predict before you buy. Advanced players chasing a higher ceiling will eventually outgrow it.
