Hirostar Alien
The Alien is Hirostar's signature line, built with Argentine professional Tolito Aguirre and printed with two of his tattoos. It is the aggressive end of a catalogue that already leans aggressive: dense carbon over firm EVA, with the balance towards the top for players who finish points at the net.
It is also the only Hirostar line with builds beneath it. Alien Pro is the full signature frame in 24K carbon over an EVA Black X-Treme core; Alien Core softens the specification for a player who wants the shape without the demands; Alien Junior is the child's frame. The 25 and 26 suffixes on a listing are model years, not levels.

Questions about the Hirostar Alien
Who plays the Hirostar Alien?
Tolito Aguirre plays the Hirostar Alien on tour. Sponsorships move between seasons, so this reflects the racket they are carrying now rather than their whole career.
Which Alien should I buy?
The Pro if you play at a level where a 24K carbon face over a firm X-Treme core returns more than it costs, and the Core if you want the same line without a frame that punishes a late swing. The Junior is a child's racket rather than a light adult option. All three share the family's attacking character, so this is a question of how much frame you can use.
What is the Alien collection actually about?
It is a genuine collaboration rather than a signature sticker. Hirostar built the line with Tolito Aguirre and reproduced the alien and the phrase tattooed on his arm, so the design belongs to the player. For a company without decades of history that is a faster route to recognition than a heritage it does not have.
Does the number on an Alien mean a level?
No — 25 and 26 are model years. Hirostar releases the line each season, so an Alien Pro 26 is the season after an Alien Pro 25 rather than a step above it. The build word (Pro, Core, Junior) is what tells you the level; the number tells you the year.
