Star Vie Exodus Gold

The Star Vie Exodus Gold is built for experienced players who want serious power without sacrificing too much control. At 400g, it sits at the heavier end of the spectrum, making it a racket that rewards players who already have solid technique and physical conditioning.

That weight tells you a lot about who this racket is designed for. Heavier rackets generate more momentum through the swing, which translates to harder shots from the back of the court and more punch on smashes. If you play an aggressive baseline game and rely on pace to put opponents under pressure, the extra grams work in your favour. If you are still developing your swing or you play long sessions and fatigue becomes a factor, 400g will start to feel like hard work by the third set.

The "Gold" designation in Star Vie's lineup typically signals a premium tier within the Exodus line, though without confirmed specs on balance point, shape, core material, and face construction, it would be misleading to go further on those details. What is clear from the weight alone is that this is not a beginner or intermediate racket. It is aimed at players who know their game, know what they want from equipment, and are ready to put in the physical effort to get the most out of a heavier frame.

If you are a lighter-framed player, newer to padel, or coming back from a wrist or elbow issue, a racket in the 355-375g range would likely serve you better and keep you injury-free.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the Star Vie Exodus Gold best suited for?

It suits advanced players with a physical, attacking style who want more weight behind their shots, particularly from the back court.

Is 400g too heavy for most players?

For recreational or developing players, yes. Most padel rackets sit between 355g and 385g, so 400g is noticeably heavier and requires a well-developed swing to use comfortably.

Can I use this racket if I have a history of elbow problems?

A heavier racket increases the load on your arm and elbow. If you have had elbow issues, consult a physio before committing to a 400g frame.

How should I store and care for this racket?

Keep it in a padded cover away from extreme heat or cold, as temperature swings can affect the core material and frame integrity over time.
