      Find models for your game

      Illustrated models are examples from each brand, not the profile winners. Shop availability depends on your country.

      We counted every Nox and StarVie racket in the index: 46 and 17. Nox has more rated 65 or more for power (7 against 3) and for control (17 against 5). That is a lean of the catalogue, not a verdict on any one racket.

      Models to compare, by what you want

      How the picks are chosen. For each playing profile, the racket of each brand with the highest PadelTrue rating for that profile, among the brand's rackets in the index that have a live shop offer in at least one country, publish at least 3 of the five rating inputs and are not junior models. A tie goes to the cheaper racket. The rule is applied on every build. A commission rate is never part of it.

      Questions

      Is Nox or StarVie better?

      Neither, as a brand. Both make power, control and all-round rackets, and the PadelTrue model rates each racket from its published specification, not the badge. In the index today Nox has 46 rackets and StarVie has 17. Pick the profile you want and compare the highest-rated eligible model of each brand in our calculation.

      Which brand has more power rackets, Nox or StarVie?

      Counting rackets rated 65 or more for power: Nox 7 of 46, StarVie 3 of 17, so Nox has more. The rating comes from shape, balance, core firmness, face material and weight as each maker publishes them.

      Which brand has more control rackets, Nox or StarVie?

      Counting rackets rated 65 or more for control: Nox 17 of 46, StarVie 5 of 17, so Nox has more.

      Which is cheaper, Nox or StarVie?

      By median price in euros in the index, Nox: Nox €180, StarVie €230. Both brands span a wide range, from €65 to €390.

      Which brand is easier on the arm?

      Counting rackets rated 65 or more for comfort: Nox 14, StarVie 4. The comfort rating describes feel and physical demand from the published build. It cannot predict your pain response, is not medical advice and does not prevent injury.

      Where can I buy Nox and StarVie rackets?

      Nox: Spain 37, Italy 34, Portugal 33, Germany 33, Austria 33, Belgium 33 and 29 more countries. StarVie: Spain 17, Portugal 17, Germany 17, Austria 17, Belgium 17, Bulgaria 17 and 29 more countries. These are rackets per delivery country with a live offer from an approved shop when the page was built.
