Starvie Raptor +

The Starvie Raptor+ 2026 is the flagship control racket of the Starvie Premium line. Handcrafted in Spain, it is designed for players who prioritize precision, stability, and a firm touch. Unlike the teardrop-shaped Triton or Drax, the Raptor+ features a round geometry that maximizes the sweet spot for total court coverage.

Technical Specifications

Performance Highlights

1. Double Layer of 3K Carbon The Raptor+ is built with two layers of 3K Carbon on the face. This provides an incredibly solid and consistent hitting surface. The double-layer construction ensures that the racket remains stiff and maintains its performance properties even under the highest levels of competitive stress.

2. Pro 50 EVA Density The Plus designation indicates the use of Pro 50 EVA rubber. This is a hard-density core that offers a dry hit and maximum precision. It is the ideal core for technical players who want to feel the ball clearly and place it with surgical accuracy, as it eliminates the unpredictable spring effect of softer rubbers.

3. Raptor Core Technology The heart of the racket features the Raptor Core, a structural piece designed to optimize the balance and increase the rigidity of the bridge area. This reduces torsion during impact and minimizes vibrations, providing a very stable feel when blocking fast shots at the net.

4. Full Plane Effect (Molded Roughness) Starvie’s signature Full Plane Effect consists of a 3D star-shaped relief molded directly into the carbon face during manufacturing. Because it is part of the structure rather than a surface decal, the roughness never wears off, providing permanent high-level spin for slices and technical volleys.

5. Round Geometry Sweet Spot The round shape ensures that the sweet spot is perfectly centered and significantly larger than in power-focused models. This makes the Raptor+ one of the most forgiving high-end rackets, allowing players to maintain control even during difficult defensive recoveries.

Player Profile

The Starvie Raptor+ is the ultimate weapon for the Technical Control Player. It is designed for those who build the point from the back of the court and demand a racket that responds exactly to their input. If you prefer a hard-touch, round racket that offers maximum stability and a professional Spanish-made finish, the Raptor+ is the definitive choice.
