Control focused • Forgiving • Forgiving
The StarVie Astrum Pro 2025 positions itself as a control-focused pala with round shape and central balance. Two face layers of 15K aluminised carbon fibre combine with EVA Pro 50 core, which the manufacturer calls hard-density. Specifications and limited early experiences suggest controlled placement over raw force.
The Astrum Pro 2025 has round shape, weight between 350 and 385 grams and central balance. Profile 38 millimetres is within modern padel standard range.
The face has two layers of 15K aluminised carbon fibre. StarVie combines this with EVA Pro 50, described by the manufacturer as hard-density. Frame is carbon fibre. Surface roughness has a 3D structure with characteristic StarVie star pattern.
It comes with No N Inside grip and Star Balance system, a central throat piece intended by the manufacturer to optimise weight distribution. Recommended price 250 euros. Astrum Soft also offers a softer core for less demanding feel.
What you will notice as a player
The racket helps in defense: a calm swing sends balls off the glass deep again.
A balanced racket that responds predictably in most situations.
No pronounced weakness, but no single shot where the racket particularly stands out either.
Which shots are affected most?
| Situation | What will you notice? |
|---|---|
| Defense | Plenty of help: the low balance and generous sweet spot return balls off the glass calmly and deep. |
| Volley | Crisp and agile: aiming feels effortless and late adjustments remain possible. |
| Bandeja | Very easy to control: the ball stays low and predictable, ideal for controlling the court. |
| Vibora | Enough bite for a quick brushing shot with some acceleration of your own. |
| Smash | Enough power, but you still need to put considerable effort into the swing. |
| Block | Stable: the racket is ready in time and returns the ball with control. |
| Off-center ball | Reasonably forgiving: outside the sweet spot you lose some speed, while accuracy is largely maintained. |
