## What the specs mean on court

On the numbers, the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2025 makes most sense for advanced attackers. It is a weaker choice for beginners, intermediate all-rounders, intermediate right-side players and players with elbow or arm trouble.

A teardrop head is the middle ground: a little more reach and power than a round frame, a bigger sweet spot than a diamond. The harder core rewards a fast, clean swing with pace and precision, and punishes late contact.

Against the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2024, the published specs changed in 2 places:

- **Face:** 3K Carbon + Basalt in 2024, Double layer Basalt + 3K Carbon in 2025.
- **RRP:** €231 in 2024, €249 in 2025.

If the older Star Vie Basalto Pro 2024 is on sale, it is usually the better value: most season changes are cosmetic or small.

## Questions about the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2025

### Is the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2025 good for beginners?

It scores 63 out of 98 for a beginner in our match engine, which is poor fit, ranking #721 of 862 eligible rackets. A rounder, softer racket will forgive more while your timing develops.

### Is the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2025 a power or a control racket?

It plays as an all-round racket. The teardrop shape and medium to high balance sit between round and diamond, trading a little forgiveness for some extra power.

### How heavy is the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2025?

The manufacturer lists it at 350 to 385 g. Most padel rackets sit between 350 and 375 g; this one is in the middle of that range.

### Is the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2025 good for tennis elbow?

We do not recommend it with elbow trouble: the hard core transmits more shock. See our guide to the [best padel rackets for tennis elbow](https://padelaiapp.com/rackets/best-padel-racket-for-tennis-elbow), and see a physio if it hurts.

### How much does the Star Vie Basalto Pro 2025 cost?

The recommended retail price is €249. UK shops usually sell below RRP, and the price drops further once the next season's model arrives.
