OUR READING
What the specs
mean on court
On the numbers, the Star Vie Astrum Soft 2025 makes most sense for intermediate all-rounders, beginners, players with elbow or arm trouble and intermediate right-side players.
A round head keeps the sweet spot big and central. Mishits stay in play, and placement is easy; you supply the power on the smash yourself. The softer core holds the ball longer and gives easy depth at slow swing speeds, at the cost of some precision on hard hits.
These scores assume the answers of a typical player of each type. The free racket finder scores it for your own answers, and the Padel AI app goes further: film one match and it scores your real technique, then re-ranks all 1,418 rackets for the way you actually play.
