Who is the Hirostar Blackstone 25 Attack 2025 for?
It suits you if you play on the backhand side, finish points overhead and have the technique to handle a head-heavy racket. The 360–375 g weight and 38 mm profile add mass to smashes, viboras and deep bandejas. If you prioritise defence or quick reactions at the net, the low-balance Redstone 25 will feel easier; if you are just starting out, choose a round racket.
Strengths and things to consider
Strengths
- Power: the high balance and diamond shape put the mass in the head for deeper smashes and viboras.
- Spin: the sandblasted 18K carbon surface grips the ball and makes slice and spinning bandejas easier.
- Stability: the anti-vibration bridge in the custom mould and the carbon tubular frame dampen off-centre hits.
Things to consider
- Demands technique: the high sweet spot of a diamond punishes low or off-centre contact in defence.
- More load on the arm: the head-heavy balance tires the shoulder sooner in long matches without good fitness.
Blackstone 25 compared with Redstone 25 and Alien 12k Attack 2025
The Hirostar Redstone 25 shares the diamond mould, 18K carbon, Black EVA 17 core and 38 mm profile, but it has a low balance and weighs 365–380 g. That weight distribution makes it easier to handle at the net and in defence. Choose the Redstone if you want fast reactions in exchanges and the Blackstone if you want maximum drive on the smash.
The Hirostar Alien 12K Attack 2025, Tolito Aguirre's racket, is also a diamond, but with 12K carbon faces, a medium-high balance and 365–380 g. Its weight sits slightly less towards the head, so it balances power and handling a little better. Choose the Alien for a middle ground and the Blackstone 25 if you want the most forceful shot in the range.

Questions about the Hirostar Blackstone 25 Attack 2025
What is the difference between the Hirostar Blackstone and the Redstone?
They are twins in materials: 18K carbon, Black EVA 17, carbon tubular frame and 38 mm profile. The Blackstone has a high balance and 360–375 g for attacking; the Redstone, with a low balance and 365–380 g, favours control and manoeuvrability.
Is the Hirostar Blackstone suitable for intermediate players?
Hirostar aims it at advanced players. A strong intermediate with a solid overhead game can make use of it, but the high balance and weight demand technique; if you are still building the fundamentals, a medium- or low-balance racket will be more forgiving.
