Playing characteristics
Where they differ
| Characteristic | Siux Diablo Pro (2024) | StarVie Basalto Soft (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| WeightA heavier racket is steadier and carries more of its own power but asks more of your arm; a lighter one is quicker to swing and gives less free power. | 365–378 g | 350–385 g |
| Core | EVA mediumA medium core gives some rebound for power and enough flex to stay comfortable. | EVA softA softer core flexes and holds the ball a moment longer, so less shock reaches your elbow and a swing gets less free power. |
| FaceWe do not hold this yet, and a guessed value would mislead you more than none. | Unknown | Unknown |
| Sweet spot | SmallA hit that misses the centre loses more, so it asks for precise contact. | UnknownWe do not hold this yet, and a guessed value would mislead you more than none. |
| Vibration absorption | LowMore of the shock of each impact reaches your arm. | MediumSome of the shock of each impact is damped before it reaches your arm. |
| Arm-friendly | NoThe catalogue does not mark it as gentle on a sore elbow or shoulder. | CautionThe catalogue marks it as one to approach carefully if your elbow or shoulder hurts. |
- Shape
- Teardrop — The face is widest through the middle, between the narrower top of a round racket and the broader top of a diamond.
- Balance
- Medium — The weight sits in the middle of its length, between the head-heavy and head-light feels.
- For a level
- Advanced — The least experienced player the catalogue judges it suits — it is not a limit on anyone above.
- Surface
- Rough — A textured face grips the ball on a brushed shot, so it can put more spin on it.

Which one fits you?
Being torn between two rackets on the same scale still leaves open whether either fits your game. The finder asks five questions about how you actually play, plus one optional question about the racket you use now — six questions, and up to two more only if your answers leave something ambiguous. In about five minutes it narrows the whole catalogue to the rackets that actually fit you — and explains why.
