Star Vie Aquila Soft 24

The racket Aquila Soft stands out for being a comfortable racket , which offers good sensations on the court with a perfect balance between power, control and ball output. Its manageability is also surprising thanks to its density of Soft 30 rubber in its core. Ideal for mid-level offensive players, who are looking for great acceleration and good aerial play. A teardrop head sits between a round head, which spreads mass evenly for a wider sweet spot, and a diamond head, which pushes weight furthest from the hand for maximum power — a middle setting rather than a commitment to either. Star Vie pairs it with soft EVA, a carbon frame and a smooth 3K carbon face with no texture (Roughness: No), rated at Power balance. Soft EVA compresses more readily than a harder core and tends to hold the ball on the strings a fraction longer, which generally reads toward touch and control even on a power-balanced build. Made in Spain and rated Advanced, the combination points at a racket meant to add power from its balance while keeping some of the forgiveness a softer core provides, rather than the firmest, most direct response available in the range.
