Adidas RX Series for versatile intermediate value; Metheora Warrior if you want StarVie's artisan flagship feel.
Two intermediate-plus rackets with distinctly different brand DNA. The Adidas RX Series is £100-110, intermediate-rated, 360-375g, teardrop shape, medium balance, EVA Soft Performance core, carbon fibre face at 38mm. The StarVie Metheora Warrior is £190 and pitched at all levels.
The RX Series is Adidas at its most balanced. The teardrop and medium balance give you power without going head-heavy, and the carbon fibre face has the bite the cheaper Adidas frames lack. Versatile across play styles, premium-feeling without premium pricing. The 375g top weight catches some players out, and it's a step up in cost from beginner Adidas options.
The Metheora Warrior comes from StarVie's Spanish artisan tradition. The brand is known for hand-finished frames and a distinct on-court feel that loyalists swear by. £190 buys you that heritage and a flagship-tier construction.
