2026 StarVie Raptor +

The Raptor + sits in the middle of StarVie's advanced range, built around a 3D carbon face and the M-EVA Balance core. The feel is medium-hard — firm enough to hit through the ball, soft enough that you still get information back from it. That combination is what makes it a versatile racket rather than a specialist one.

The 38 mm profile and Five Sides Tech frame keep it stable, the Reactive Holes pattern in the throat is there to reduce torsion and clean up ball output, and the Spin Boost Tech surface texture gives you the bite to work spin. Anti-Vibe handles the vibration side.

Like the rest of the plus range it carries the Dynamic Star System — a swappable central star with two weight options, worth 0.3 cm of balance change — so you can push it towards power or manoeuvrability. Teardrop, medium balance, 360–375 g.
