Our verdict

What we loved

Four things it does better than most.

Control rating 80: reliable directional precision for an advanced teardrop frame

Even-balance teardrop with Carbon 12K face: versatile, accessible construction

Tolerance at 72 and comfort at 72: forgiving and arm-friendly for extended sessions

Medium-EVA core: consistent feel that suits technical, placement-based play

Worth knowing

Three things to know before you buy.

Power at 74 means overhead pace must come from technique and positioning

Not the right pick for players wanting to develop an aggressive, overhead-heavy game

Advanced-level frame: a control specialist rather than a do-everything option

About this core

A M-EVA Balance core. 41% of the rackets we have scored sit in this band. Read from the core until we rate firmness ourselves.

The review

The Starvie Astrum + 2026 is an even-balance teardrop with a medium-EVA core and Carbon 12K face, built for advanced players who want reliable directional control.

Control at 80 leads the profile. Tolerance at 72 and comfort at 72 confirm a forgiving, arm-friendly character. Power at 74 is the honest trade-off: overhead pace must come from technique. Our score: 81/100.

Highlights

Top 17% for control, and in the bottom third for value.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 54% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
