Our impression
The Kenta+ is aimed at technique-oriented mid-level players: the 12K Carbon Hyper face gives a soft, controlled touch, while the S-Eva Flex core and round shape make a generous sweet spot with high tolerance on off-centre hits. The medium balance keeps the racket stable without losing the punch you need for the occasional attack.
At 367 g, it is heavier than three quarters of all models in our comparison: that puts mass behind the ball and adds stability against hard shots, but costs reaction speed at the net. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 5 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.5 out of 10, it is easy-going, even though 68% of the round models in our comparison leave even more margin for error. 5 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €121.41 to €160 – a €39 difference for the same model.
Who is the StarVie Kenta+ 2026 for?
Intermediate players who are working on their technique and put control above raw power.
