StarVie Basalto Osiris
The Osiris build of the StarVie Basalto. A teardrop head with a high balance, which loads the tip and is where the frame's output comes from. It is a power frame at advanced level. Read the build word before the model year when comparing two Basalto listings: the year moves every season while the build word is what actually changes the racket.

About the StarVie Basalto Osiris
The head is a teardrop, which keeps a usable sweet spot while still carrying weight towards the tip, so it works at both ends of the court. The balance is high, which is what loads the tip. The face is medium, firm enough to return pace without removing the margin a soft face gives. The core is EVA. Within the StarVie Basalto, Osiris is the build word that separates this racket from its siblings; a model year on a listing describes the season it was sold in rather than where it sits in the range. The Basalto takes its name from the basalt fibre in its face and is a teardrop frame built with a high balance and Soft 30 rubber, which StarVie positions for versatile power.
