Ratings, shape, weight, balance, feel and prices side by side — and which one suits your game.
In short: the Star Vie Shade 2027 is the more controlled racket (9.5 vs 8.8); the Star Vie Shade 2027 is more forgiving thanks to a bigger sweet spot; the Star Vie Shade 2027 is cheaper today (from €125).
Both are round rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.
Faces: Carbon + Glass versus Aluminized X-Glass.
The Star Vie Shade 2027 is heavier (350–370 g vs 355 g), adding stability and power at the cost of manoeuvrability.
