Starvie Aquila Speed Soft 2024

Players who favor an attacking style but don’t want a harsh, unforgiving face will find this model appealing. The Aquila Speed Soft suits those who want to turn defensive exchanges into attacking opportunities and who value a softer contact that reduces arm strain during long sessions.

It’s a good match for competitors who need a balance between power and comfort—people who want easier handling in quick exchanges while still having reach and punch on overheads and smashes.

The teardrop shape and medium-high balance give the Aquila Speed Soft noticeable attacking capability, particularly on overheads and finishing shots. Its game type is listed as versatile, and in practice that translates to a racket that can generate pace when you put your weight behind the swing, rather than relying on pure head-heavy momentum.

Expect reliable punch on drives and smashes without the blunted feel that comes from excessively soft designs; the Ultra Soft Speed EVA core tempers impact while the 3K carbon faces keep response crisp enough to convert intention into power.

With a 350–385g weight range and a medium-high balance, the racket balances stability and swing speed. Lighter setups in that range will be nimble at the net and easy to redirect in rapid exchanges; heavier builds add inertia for cleaner power but remain controllable thanks to the teardrop outline.

The Aquila Speed Soft doesn’t sacrifice feel for speed—control is solid on volleys and on placement shots, and the softer core helps absorb unwanted shocks that can otherwise make precision harder to manage.

Only the materials explicitly provided are mentioned: the faces use 3K carbon and the core is Ultra Soft Speed EVA with an overall medium-soft hardness. Those inputs point to a blend of responsiveness and comfort rather than an ultra-stiff, power-only configuration.

In practical terms, the 3K carbon face offers a predictable rebound and a tactile response on contact, while the Ultra Soft Speed EVA core softens impacts and helps produce a more forgiving feel across varied shots.

• Face: 3K Carbon — predictable rebound and tactile response
• Core: Ultra Soft Speed EVA — softer impact feel and comfort
• Hardness: Medium-Soft — balances touch with enough firmness for driven shots

On court the Aquila Speed Soft reads as comfortable and confidence-inspiring. Ball contact is softer than many teardrop rackets, which reduces harsh feedback on off-center hits and helps maintain control when accelerating through shots.

Players will notice a forgiving impact combined with enough face stiffness to keep attack shots from feeling dull; the result is a racket that encourages forward play while keeping arm comfort high during long practice sessions or match play.
