Starvie's Raptor Evolution is a versatile racket that aims to provide the best of both worlds, the control and ease of play of a round racket with the power of a high balance racket, and reviewers report that it somehow manages to accomplish this, which makes this one of the most popular rackets the brand offers.
Versatile racket with strong control but not bad power. Suits intermediate and advanced players. Very strong roughness, it will remove your calluses :) Starvie improved the bridge - it transmits fewer vibrations and sounds than last year's. Handle slightly smaller than average, wristband without closure. Balance at 26.5cm with protector and one overgrip. medium touch, reminds me of the Pampa, harder than the MM2, harder than the Aidpower CTRL, a tiny bit softer than the Babolat Technical and the Kuikma PR990 Hybrid Hard.
The 2022 version of Starvie's Raptor is a little bit of everything, it is a high balance round racket that is a reactive bomber. It suits a left-side player with a more conservative edge or an aggressive right side player. Why buy: super powerful, good spin, comfort at the net, can play with a cool arm, always aggressive, top in all aggressive aspects of the game. Why to not buy: at the baselines its a bit exuberant and requires you to really pay attention. I like a racket that requires you to push yourself a bit more.
One of the most famous rackets, Starvie's Raptor Evolution has a high balance in a round racket to give you the best of both worlds: the control and sweet spot of a round racket with the offensive character of an attacker.
