STARVIE PHANTOM

Starvie Phantom 2027 — control, precision and a softer response

The Starvie Phantom 2027 is designed for intermediate players who prioritise control and precision and for players who want a predictable, manageable response while they continue to develop their game. Its round shape and low balance place the emphasis on control and make the racket easier to move through defensive exchanges and preparation phases

With a weight range of 347–365 g, the racket combines a manageable setup with a construction built around a 12K Carbon Hyper surface and a S-Eva Flex core. The aim is not to create an overly demanding feel, but to give the player a comfortable response and reliable ball output from different areas of the court

Within Starvie's 2027 collection, this model has a clearly defined role: it focuses on control and uses its materials and geometry to support a more confident, repeatable contact. At Padel Market we would recommend it to players who value usability and directional control ahead of a power-first configuration

Key features of the Starvie Phantom 2027

The round shape is central to the racket's behaviour. Starvie associates this geometry with control, precision and manoeuvrability, while the low balance keeps the racket easier to accelerate and reposition during quick exchanges

Its 347–365 g weight range gives the model its specific handling profile. Combined with the low balance, it supports a more accessible swing and helps the player keep the racket stable without making the head feel excessively heavy

The 12K Carbon Hyper works together with the S-Eva Flex core to define the impact feel. The face material provides the structural response of the hitting surface, while the softer EVA configuration helps with comfort and ball release

This combination makes the Starvie Phantom 2027 a coherent option for players looking for control first, but still wanting enough responsiveness to progress technically and play with confidence from the back of the court and around the net

Technologies

12K Carbon Hyper. 12K Carbon Hyper uses a 12,000-filament carbon weave with a more open structure. Starvie uses it to increase sensitivity, enlarge the sweet spot and provide precise contact while retaining enough response for faster exchanges

S-Eva Flex. S-Eva Flex is a soft-density EVA developed to make the ball come off the face more easily. Its softer response supports comfort, a more accessible impact and a dynamic feel for players who do not want an excessively rigid core

Precision Bridge. Precision Bridge reinforces the heart of the racket. The structure is designed to increase rigidity and stability so the energy of each shot can be used more efficiently, giving the impact a firmer and more precise response

Core Axis. Core Axis adds a central longitudinal channel that reinforces the frame and improves stability. It helps the racket feel more solid at impact and supports control and precision throughout the stroke

Longer Handgrip. Longer Handgrip extends the handle to provide a firmer, more comfortable grip. It also gives players more room for two-handed shots and can help create extra leverage when greater acceleration is needed

Z-Shock. Z-Shock is an anti-shock system positioned in the grip. It is designed to absorb part of the vibrations generated after impact and improve comfort and grip security during play

Who is it recommended for?

The Starvie Phantom 2027 is best suited to intermediate players who prioritise control and precision. Its round shape and low balance are aimed at players who want to place the ball accurately and keep the racket easy to manage during repeated exchanges

The combination of 12K Carbon Hyper and S-Eva Flex gives it a response that is easier to access than a power-focused, high-balance racket. That makes it especially relevant for players who want to build confidence in technique, timing and directional control

Rather than positioning it as a racket for maximum power, we see the Starvie Phantom 2027 as a model for players who want a controlled, comfortable setup that can accompany their progression and remain predictable under pressure
