All about the new Star Vie Basalto Carbon Oro

Boasting a fresh and elegant design

One of the first features we notice about a racket is its design. In fact, this is one of this racket's most characteristic qualities: a renewed image. The Basalto, which arrived with the launch of the 2020 collection, featured a very striking design, with yellow standing out. For this racket, it has changed completely. The Star Vie Basalto Carbon Oro has an all-black design, combined with very minimal gold details in the bridge area. This racket has a much more serious and elegant look.

A racket that retains its essence: versatility

On the outside, it's a completely different racket, but it retains the essence that has made it one of the most in-demand rackets: its versatility. The Basalto Carbon Oro continues to be versatile, meaning it offers a good balance between control and power. Star Vie's objective with this powerful weapon is to reach more players and allow them to develop a more complete game, regardless of their playing style. So, we can guarantee that it is a racket that will be fully functional for both aggressive and offensive players and those looking for more strategy and control.

Guaranteed quality with its 100% carbon construction

In addition to all of the above, the Star Vie Basalto Carbon Oro is a racket that boasts a solid structure, guaranteeing resistance and long durability. This is due to the materials used in its composition. For the frame, a 100% carbon tubular has been used, a solid component that will make the structure more stable and with a better response level. Meanwhile, the faces are made of carbon fiber. This fiber is rigid, ideal for aggressive players looking for a more solid feel. Additionally, it is resistant, extending the life of the faces. One of the main characteristics of this racket, and which is in fact reflected in its name, is the incorporation of basalt. This compound is added to the faces to improve durability and to increase stroke control, without sacrificing power.

The most advanced technologies for the Star Vie Basalto Carbon Oro

Technology will always be the best companion for the best rackets, as it provides additional benefits beyond those of the manufacturing materials. One of the most evident technologies is found in the racket's bridge, that vertical slit that fills the space. This is Full Balance technology, a piece whose objective is to shift the weight towards the handle to improve aerodynamics and maneuverability, but it also has a positive impact on vibration reduction. Another prominent technology of this racket is Full Plane Effect. This involves creating a rough texture for the faces. This increases the grip of the faces with the ball, which elevates the level of spin when executing sliced shots. This version features a unique technology: the incorporation of S2. This is a fiberglass that aims to improve the racket's resistance and durability, as well as enhance control and power.
