How Does the Starvie Triton Pro perform?
🔔 Review of 2024 model: Triton Pro 2024.
With a very high balance at around 28cm, Javi Garrido's teardrop-shaped Triton Pro is made for aggressive smashers looking to shoot holes in the ground during their aerial game without any fear for difficulties that may come while defending in the back of the court.
Note that Starvie's teardrops have at least as much weight in the head than most manufacturers' diamonds.
The racket is a best buy for a physically fit advanced player looking for a medium-hard touch.

Expert Reviews of the Starvie Triton Pro
In summary, this racket has a medium-hard touch and is totally a demanding, technical power-focused racket. It needs an advanced level. It has the pro of its aerial game is great. Cons: dead balls if contacting outside of the sweet spot (outside of aerial shots), it tires your arm
In smashes, this racket has decent power, but doesn't give me the same nice sensations as other rackets of similar hardness because the rubber is medium density and doesn't recover as rapidly, you feel the absorption and you have to hit right in the sweet spot, or the racket will have this "tabla" table wooden dead feeling, so you need to have a really good smash technique. This is a technical racket in all aspects.
The maneuverability is quite challenging
in the back - this is an aggressive racket, not made to be defensive. It feels very technical and can lead to mistakes with the low ball output and small sweet spot but feels strong in an aggressive shots, such as the bajada.
Powerful racket that is quite difficult to play with due to its high balance and small sweet spot.
I loved this racket in the smash. It is easy to transmit weight to the ball thanks to its high balance and long handle. In the front of the court, it is a canon. If you like to smash, try itout.
In the back of the court, it feels feels heavy and hard to maneuverable
The hard touch not reactive can help control the ball, but it's not a comfortable racket
There is a big difference in hitting the ball well centered and not. The bad sweet spot is my biggest problem with the racket.
This teardrop-shaped racket feels like a diamond with its high balance and high power. I consider it a best buy for an aggressive racket at a street price of ~€200.
At the net, this racket blows holes in the ground. The player has to manage the power when you want to push. It pushes much better at a medium, medium high speed...not too high.
In the first 2 hours of playing with it, it will feel like a plank of wood, but you need to accustom yourself to playing with it over multiple days. Otherwise you won't find it's true character.
Smashes and hard flat volleys are very strong, but the require a bit of technique to control it because the ball shoots out
It has a small sweet spot located pretty high in the racket face.
