Star Vie Brava 9.1 DRS Carbon Aluminium Soft

One of the brands with the most presence in national and international padel tennis is Star Vie. For several seasons it has been a benchmark, but in recent years its leap has been more than evident.

The evolution and development of its products has made Star Vie a brand that never ceases to surprise with the quality of its rackets in each of its catalogs.

Star Vie started its journey in the padel sector in 2002. More than a decade later, it has established itself as one of the major brands nationwide. And it has done so largely thanks to the production of its own rackets from its factory in Guadalajara.

Having its own production plant has allowed the Spanish company to make a firm and determined commitment to R&D&I (Research, Development, and Innovation), which has resulted in a constant improvement of its products. This evolution has been mainly reflected in its padel rackets, Star Vie's main raison d'être. And Star Vie padel rackets are a guarantee of quality.

In its latest catalog, one racket stands out that, in particular, has caught our attention due to its extensive features on the court. We are talking about the Star Vie Brava 9.1 DRS Carbon Aluminium Soft 2016. A racket that continues the model launched last year but which, as expected, introduces some new features compared to the Star Vie Brava 9.1 DRS Carbon Aluminium 2015.

TOP MODEL OF THE ALUMINIUM COLLECTION

It should be noted that the Brava 9.1 DRS Carbon Aluminium Soft 2016 is the top-of-the-range model belonging to the Aluminium DRS 2016 collection. A racket designed for advanced or professional players who are looking for a perfect balance between power and control.

It is a teardrop-shaped racket with a weight ranging between 360 and 375 grams. With a thickness of 38mm, its composition stands out for its aluminum fiber alongside carbon fiber. A combination that provides greater power, in addition to significantly reducing its weight. We can say that, along with the R 9.1 DRS Carbon Basalto, it is the best Star Vie racket in 2016.

And power is the main strength of this racket thanks to its aforementioned teardrop shape and the incorporation of aluminum. Something that we already verified in the 2015 model.

EVA RUBBER

Many of you are wondering, therefore, what is the main difference compared to last year's version. In this case, Star Vie has introduced a new EVA Soft rubber in its core as a major new feature in the Brava 9.1 DRS Carbon Aluminium 2016. The 2015 version, on the other hand, included a medium-density EVA rubber.

This new rubber provides an even more outstanding ball output and a softer feel. This has resulted in a more manageable and lighter racket with greater power, as major advantages over the previous model.

The racket maintains the roughness of the star-shaped surface (2 mm) to allow the player to execute shots with spin with greater precision.

Regarding its performance on the court, it is a racket that offers great performance in the backcourt. We will have no problem defending ourselves with lobs and flat shots. But where it performs best is near the net on volleys and smashes.

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

Star Vie once again introduces its most avant-garde technology in this Brava 9.1 DRS Carbon Aluminium 2016. One of its most outstanding systems is called DRS-6. A piece located in the heart of the racket that provides balance towards the handle. This allows the racket to be more aerodynamic and have a better weight distribution.
