Our impression
The Polaris is StarVie's beginner teardrop with a clear identity: an X-Glass fibreglass face, a soft S-Eva Flex core and the Geo Air Core in the throat make it soft, manageable and very forgiving without becoming spongy. Tests praise the comfort, handling and large margin for error. It helps you play cleaner padel but doesn't win the points for you.
At 360 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 soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 6 and control 7 out of 10, it is geared slightly more towards precision than power.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.4 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 84% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. 8 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €78.25 to €125 – a €47 difference for the same model.
Who is the StarVie Polaris 2026 for?
Beginners and recreational players who want to improve quickly with comfort and control instead of relying on power early.
