Our verdict
The Polaris 2026 is StarVie's gentle starter: a 365 g even-balanced hybrid with a Soft EVA core and fibreglass face scoring control 72 with kind terms (comfort 72, tolerance 74) and prompt handling (74). Power 62 states the patient brief. Value 74 carries the modest craft premium. With the Arkos, the Polaris completes StarVie's overdue kind wing: handmade construction at weights and tunes ordinary players can actually use. For new players who want the Spanish-craft story from the first lesson, a fair and friendly door.

This carries genuine StarVie handmade craft into a patient beginner frame: kind terms run throughout comfort and tolerance, and the sensible weight suits ordinary arms well. It completes the brand's genuinely kind wing of the range. Power states a patient brief plainly — this is about placement, not pace — and value carries a modest craft premium; established benchmarks elsewhere still undercut the story on pure arithmetic.
