Starvie Drax +

The Starvie Drax+ 2026 is the latest high-performance addition to the Starvie Premium line.

Performance Highlights

1. Dual-Layer 3K Carbon Construction Like the top-tier Triton, the Drax+ features two layers of 3K Carbon on the face. This dual-layer approach provides a very solid dry hit and incredible durability. It ensures the racket maintains its structural integrity and power levels even after months of high-intensity competition.

2. Pro 50 EVA Density The Plus in the name signifies the use of Pro 50 EVA rubber. This is a hard-density core that rewards players with clean technique. It provides a direct response with zero energy loss, making it easier to dominate the net and execute powerful volleys without the ball sinking too deep into the racket.

3. New Drax Bridge System The standout innovation of this model is its aerodynamic heart. The bridge has been redesigned to reduce air resistance during the swing. This allows for faster racket head speed, which is crucial for defensive recovery and reacting to fast-paced volleys.

4. Full Plane Effect Texture The face features Starvie's signature Full Plane Effect - a 3D relief pattern molded directly into the carbon. Because it is part of the mold and not a painted finish, the texture never wears off, providing permanent, high-level friction for advanced spin on every shot.

5. Long Grip Design Following the successful trend of the Triton series, the Drax+ incorporates a longer handle. This improves the leverage on overheads and provides ample space for players who prefer a two-handed backhand, a rarity in traditional padel racket designs.

Player Profile

The Starvie Drax+ is ideal for the All-Around Professional. While it has the hard touch and carbon strength for heavy attacking, its teardrop shape and centered balance make it much more manageable than a pure power racket. It is the perfect choice for the technical player who wants a premium weapon that feels equally stable in defense and explosive in the smash.
