The Phantom is StarVie's control model: round shape, low balance, a weight of 347 to 365 grams. This makes the racket quick in the hand and easy to guide cleanly even under pressure. The 12K carbon frame provides clear feedback without the EVA Flex core becoming hard. Intended for players who build their game on placement rather than punch. We have not played this model ourselves; the information comes from the manufacturer.
At 356 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; the low balance makes it feel more manoeuvrable than its weight suggests. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 6 and control 9 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision – but among head-light round rackets it offers a lot of power: 79% of them score lower.
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. Medium-hard core and low balance: only 23 of the 507 models we compare have this combination. 6 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €206.06 to €281.42 – a €75 difference for the same model.

Our classification: Intermediate. Its forgiveness is 7.5 out of 10 – forgiving, wide hitting area.
The StarVie Phantom 2027 weighs 356 g and has a round shape, a low (manoeuvrable) balance and a medium-hard core (EVA Flex). The frame is made of Carbon 12K.
Not by our rule: the core is medium-hard. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
