StarVie Arkos 2026
Pairs well with
StarVie make their rackets by hand in Spain, and the Arkos is where that shows at a price a club player can justify. Round head, low balance, and the S-EVA Flex core — the softest rubber they use.
Low balance means the weight sits toward the handle, so the racket feels lighter than its 358 g suggests and comes through quickly on the volley. Combined with a round head and a soft core, this is about as forgiving as a Spanish-made racket gets.
