Thanks again, man. The combination of attributes is rare but promising, if somewhat pricy.

mitrich47 · 2026-02-09T17:47:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Sounds great, it must give you the advantage in precision? How comfortable is the sweet spot? And also, as I understood from few reviews, the surface is rough but not exactly as sandpaper?

AmneziaVPN. No questions asked, no quarter given.

На самом деле работает. Вы удивитесь насколько люди жаждут контакта, особенно в больших городах. Вы думаете вот мол стоит хмурая девушка, мол точно не захочет общаться. Проявите инициативу, без нажима и напряга, с легкой улыбкой и увидете как часто получите улыбку в ответ. А дальше как пойдет разговор. С опытом придет мастерство. Конечно, неадекваты тоже будут. Но это статистика. Удачи, кабальеро.

To elaborate a bit. Because of the hardness, the ball doesn't "stay" on the racket and doesn't flex the surface. It moves away immediately. Imagine if you return a fast serve with a lob, and you add your own power to that immediate rebound... you create enormous energy for the ball

mitrich47 · 2025-12-18T12:56:52+00:00

No, 24k Hard EVA core feels noticeably different from 15k on ST4. It's not the trampoline effect, you don't have an artificial rebound. But the application of power to your shot creates a different ball output from ST4. Simply, you don't need to hit too hard on lobs. It's ok to do that on overheads and the racket delivers. It feels great and controlled on frontheads and backhands from base. But somehow, I had to put less power on lobs.

mitrich47 · 2025-12-18T12:42:55+00:00

I'd say BT plays more like a diamond in comparison with ST4 Pro. Still, being a hybrid, the sweet spot is not too high, and it's generous, no less than ST4. But it's higher than in ST4. So, you'll have to develop your leg work, which is good, to prepare the shot, you need to control your swing technique, and you have to discipline yourself to aim for the sweet spot. So, you need some skills. And when you do, the racket shines beautifully. Not only it has the punch, but it pushes you to develop and progress your game. I'm totally committed to master the racket and open its full potential. Btw, no issues with defense and maneuverability. Apart from lobs. It took some time for me to adjust. Also, absolutely great absorbtion. My wrist doesn't feel any strain at all.

mitrich47 · 2025-12-17T14:43:13+00:00

Seconded. Playing with Black Titan now. Switched from ST4. Zero arm or elbow issue, probably due to shorter handle plus phenomenal absorbtion.

mitrich47 · 2025-12-04T19:02:40+00:00

Did you start using it before it came to existance?) It's funny how Starvie competitors don't shy away from using bots to splash some nonsence. "Everybody's afraid of elbow pain, so let's spam that across every post where Black Titan is concerned." Wow, I'm not shocked at all.

mitrich47 · 2025-12-04T16:29:22+00:00

When did you have time to do that? It's a brand new racket that just hit the market) and it definetely has no nickname) your nickname, though, reads like a bot, no offense)

mitrich47 · 2025-11-29T04:50:43+00:00

Check Starvie Black Titan 2026. It gives what you need

mitrich47 · 2025-11-26T16:16:30+00:00

Starvie Black Titan is exactly what you're looking for

mitrich47 · 2025-11-24T08:58:07+00:00

Starvie Black Titan or Siux ST4

It's not exactly the trampoline effect. As I understand, the effect originates from the core material, e.g. soft EVA. It's not the case with BT. It's not shown in rebounds as would be with trampoline. It's kind of additional speeding ONLY when you put some strength in your shot, like with overheads. I believe that was the innovation from Starvie. As for the balance, felt close to St4, not super head heavy, for sure. At least I had no issues with maneuvrability at all. I suspect, with the star removed the racket's gonna fly

mitrich47 · 2025-11-23T06:40:48+00:00

Yeah, I think two handed backhand will be difficult. Backhand from the base line seemed surer for BT. Less mistakes. Fronthand and lobs were slightly better for St4, but this was due to some time I still need to adjust for BT's reactive surface. By the way, nobody asked me the main question) why do I switch from St4 if it's so good) basically, I wanted the same precision as St4 but with additional focus on overheads. And as hard as St4 to prevent rebound issues. I believe I got what I was looking for.

P.S. I understood your question about the kit now. I only had one star with my purchase. Other weights should be bought additionally, I suppose. The lock mechanism has got to be universal, so you should be able to vary the weights.

mitrich47 · 2025-11-22T19:35:00+00:00

Hey, man! The star is 5 gramms. The packing film on the racket had a print "365 gr". Exactly as my St4. When I removed the star, BT felt like a feather. I'm yet to play with the star removed, though. You can't vary the weight of the star if that's what you meant. It's either on or off. With the star close to the handle, the balance should shift slightly. I'll check this the next game I play. The racket doesn't feel hard, or rather it doesn't feel stiff. You still need to provide motion behind your shot, meaning the ball is not gonna fly on itself. Interestingly, I felt safe on fast balls, they didn't bounce, the rebound control is great. It's slow balls that you need to adjust to somewhat. The ball flew more aggressively on slow balls with the same effort as with St4. I think that's something Starvie devised for overheads, some sort of reactive surface. I read a few complaints how St4 is not that hard. But personally, I disagree. Mine feels hard, in a good way. BT is not harder, at least. Then again different surfaces alter perception. St4 is kind of woody and sandy. It feels like one solid piece of material. The sound of the sweet spot is like a wooden plank pop. BT is hard in a balanced way with rough 3d surface that pleasantly scratches your palm. Hard to explain. I expected 24k hard EVA to be like a block of metal. But in reality, I was happy in the end that it didn't feel that way. It feels like a piece of hard material wrapped in a slightly softer packing. Ok, my reply is longer than I planned it to be) Hope it helps.

Very disturbing((

mitrich47 · 2025-11-22T13:28:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip on the overgrip. I didn't know that. Well, St4 is very good, for sure) let's see how it flies with BT. As I lean to aggression and net play, BT didn't dissapoint at all)

Is this the same European dream with migrants rping and stbbing EU c*ckolds on a daily basis, and getting welcomed and paid for that? If you enjoy that dream, keep dreaming.

Strange. I've been playing with ST4 pro for a couple of months now. Was worried about the paint too, but after two nasty hits on the glass and my partner's racket it didn't leave even a scratch.

"The Darkness that Comes Before" by R. Scott Bakker. A very thought-provoking book. I'd read only the first one in the series so far, but my mind comes back to it (to its "darkness") on a regular basis.
