“The Pro Touch treatment on StarVie's Drax line pairs a teardrop shape with an even balance and a 12K carbon face - a genuinely well-rounded, classic hybrid build that splits the difference between power and control rather than committing hard to either.”

Our verdict

The Pro Touch treatment on StarVie's Drax line pairs a teardrop shape with an even balance and a 12K carbon face - a genuinely well-rounded, classic hybrid build that splits the difference between power and control rather than committing hard to either. The EVA Pro Touch core is tuned for a more refined, controlled feel than StarVie's harder-hitting Drax variants, which suits an advanced player who wants to construct points as much as finish them.

We loved
  • Genuinely balanced power-control split from the even-balance teardrop build
  • 12K carbon face gives a crisp, precise strike
  • Pro Touch core adds real shot-shaping control over the standard Drax
Worth knowing
  • Doesn't out-hit StarVie's more committed power frames
  • Premium pricing for the segment

The PRR takePRR Team

A refined, well-balanced take on StarVie's Drax line

This sits in the sensible middle of StarVie's Drax family, with an even-balanced teardrop build that gives real power without sacrificing the control to place it well. The refined core adds a level of touch that harder Drax variants don't offer. It suits an advanced player who wants one racket that handles both ends of the court, rather than a specialist built for just one.
