StarVie Drax + vs StarVie Drax + 2026

The verdict

On paper they play much the same, so price and feel decide.

From the Drax + 2026 to the Drax + 3 specs changed: face Carbon 12k became 12K CARBON HYPER; core Eva became M-EVA BALANCE; surface 3d became rough.

Better buy now: the Drax + 2026. It plays at least as well on paper and costs € 62.95 less in Netherlands.
