FAQs
Is the StarVie Kenta+ suitable for beginners?
This racket is designed primarily for intermediate players. While it is user-friendly, beginners may benefit more from rackets specifically labeled for learning basics.
What is the weight of the Kenta+?
Padel racket weights vary by unit, but the Kenta+ is built within the standard professional range to ensure a medium balance for versatile play.
How long does the rough surface finish last?
The Spin Boost Tech finish is integrated into the mold, but it will naturally wear down over months of heavy play and contact with sand/courts.
Can this racket be used for power-based play?
While it offers excellent control, its round shape and medium balance are optimized for precision rather than raw smashing power.
Does it come with a cover?
It is recommended to check your specific retailer's package inclusions, as some kits include a protective bag while others provide the racket only.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration during impact
Ensure the handle is properly wrapped with a fresh overgrip and verify the racket is not damaged around the bridge area.
Loss of spin performance
Clean the rough surface texture with a soft brush to remove ball fuzz and debris that may be obstructing the friction-enhancing pattern.
Feel becomes 'dead' or unresponsive
Check if the racket has been exposed to extreme cold; allow it to return to room temperature before play, as cold temperatures stiffen the S-Eva core.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kenta+, store the racket in a thermal-lined padel bag away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can damage the resin and rubber core. Use an overgrip to maintain a secure hold, replacing it every 5-10 matches depending on sweat levels. Periodically inspect the surface for cracks; while the 12K Carbon is durable, direct impacts against court fencing can cause hairline fractures. If the surface becomes clogged with dirt or clay, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry thoroughly before storage.
