Our impression
The Drax+ is one of the most eagerly awaited StarVie teardrop rackets of the season: the rough 12K Carbon Hyper face enlarges the sweet spot and delivers precise, direct feedback, while the M-Eva Balance core keeps the balance between control and power. Slightly firmer than typical round StarVie comfort, but more responsive: a modern all-rounder for players who rely on timing and want extra bite.
At 358 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 7 and control 7 out of 10, it is evenly geared towards power and precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 5.3 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 60% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 2 versions of the StarVie Drax+ in our comparison, this is the lightest (358 g) and also the cheapest (€128.90). 6 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €128.90 to €190 – a €61 difference for the same model.
