StarVie is a 100% Spanish brand that is proud of it. Her palas are handmade and handcrafted! allows us to go into more detail about what the factory is doing for 2020.

2020 is a sign of a big change made by StarVie: aesthetics. It was never really the strong point of the brand and the leaders were aware of it. Now it's over. 2020 offers attractive, colorful palas that are simply fashionable.

The new collection includes most of the palas we already know: the Metheora, Pala de Matí Díaz, the Raptor, Pala de Stupa, Aluminum, Brava, Titania, Aquila and… the Triton and Basalto.

Why this and ...?

Simply because these two palas undergo modifications which it is interesting to present. The novelty is of course these brand new molds with which the Basalto and Triton are fitted. Like all high-end palas of the brand, their construction is carried out by hand and by hand.

Triton

This pala made 100% in carbon changes shape to become diamond with the weight in mind for a gain of power. Also new, a handle one centimeter longer, a punto dulce widens to gain control, the installation of a piece in the bridge called “Star Balance” to slightly modify the balance of the pala and add more precision in shots.

Finally, the soft foam will promote quick play, and the rough surface with new patterns, the “Full Plane Effect”, will bring more effects to the ball.

In your research you will observe that the Triton also exists with the name “Pro”. This version is identical but with a denser foam to gain control.

Price: € 329.99

Basalt Gravity

New shape also for this pala which becomes diamond. Power research for this Basalto which is made with a mixture of carbon and basalt. Great resistance therefore for this pala that the big hitters should appreciate. Punto dulce on the top of the pitch to gain speed, a soft foam to accelerate the balls, and a rough surface in the shape of stars to print even more effects on your balls.

So that the Basalto is not a shotgun without control after each strike, the bridge receives the "Full Balance" which brings balance to the handle.

Price: € 309.99
