Review Summary
The Starvie Astrum+ (2026) is a teardrop-shaped padel racket with a medium balance. Its teardrop profile sits between round and diamond, aiming for a usable blend of power and control that suits a wide range of players.
Across 3 expert reviews, the Astrum+ earns a Padeldex aggregated score of 79/100 — a figure we calculate from independent reviewers rather than any single rating. It performs best on control (82/100) and maneuverability (82/100), which shape its character on court. Its scores stay consistent across the board, with no glaring weakness.
Under the hood it pairs a 3D face, a M-EVA Balance core, 12K Carbon construction. At its listed weight with a medium balance, it should feel balanced and predictable in the hand. That makes it a strong fit for players who value placement, defence and a comfortable feel over outright power.
