2026 StarVie Drax +

The Drax + is the intermediate all-rounder in StarVie's 2026 line. The 12K carbon face is the softer, wider-sweet-spot end of carbon, and the medium-density EVA core adds ball output rather than taking it away — so the racket helps you finish shots you might not yet be finishing by technique alone.

A teardrop head with centred balance is the most neutral setup there is: nothing about it pushes you towards attacking or defending, which is what you want while your game is still forming. Hepta Bridge in the throat reduces torsion, and the Airflow aerodynamic profile keeps swing speed up.

Shock Shield rubber and the Z-Shock grip absorb vibration, Reactive Holes clean up ball output, and the longer grip gives you more leverage on two-handed backhands. 360–375 g, sandpaper-textured Spin Boost Tech surface.
