Hirostar Andromeda 25 Control 2025 specifications

Who is the Hirostar Andromeda 25 Control 2025 for?

It suits you if you prefer placing the ball to hitting it flat out, like getting to the net quickly and want a racket that won't tire your arm over long matches. If you want raw smash power, look at the Horizon or the Alien; if you are just starting out, a fibreglass racket will be more forgiving.

Strengths and things to consider

Strengths

• Manoeuvrability: the 345–360 g weight and medium balance let you react quickly on volleys and in defence.
• Comfort: the EVA Black Soft core cushions impact and gives easy ball exit on slower shots.
• Precision: the 12K carbon faces give a firm, stable response for directing bandejas, volleys and lobs.

Things to consider

• Limited punch: being light and soft, flat smashes and x3 or x4 kills demand more arm than with a diamond.
• Less mass: against very fast balls at the net, a heavier racket blocks with a little more solidity.

Andromeda 25 compared with Radical Team 2026 and AT10 Genius Ultralight 26

The Head Radical Team 2026 is also a teardrop, but it weighs around 360 g, has a low balance, fibreglass faces and soft Control Foam. It is more forgiving and defensive, while the Andromeda 25 offers a more direct feel thanks to its 12K carbon. Choose the Head for maximum forgiveness and the Hirostar for precision with a carbon response.

The Nox AT10 Genius Ultralight 26 by Agustín Tapia is lighter still, at 310–325 g, with 3K fibreglass faces and soft HR2 rubber, aimed at beginner and intermediate players. It is ideal if you need a very light racket; the Andromeda 25 gives more stability and carbon response to players who have mastered the basic strokes.

Questions about the Hirostar Andromeda 25 Control 2025

What changed between the Hirostar Andromeda 25 and the Andromeda 26?

Both keep the teardrop shape, 345–360 g weight, 12K carbon faces, EVA Black Soft core and 38 mm profile. For the 26 version, Hirostar lists a 100% carbon tubular frame and a medium-high balance, against the medium balance of the Andromeda 25.

Is the Hirostar Andromeda good for all levels?

It is a comfortable, light racket, but its 12K carbon faces work best once your technique is settled. It fits intermediate and advanced players; complete beginners will get more out of a fibreglass racket.
