The Hirostar Alien Core is a diamond-shaped power racket for advanced players who want aggressive attacking shots with more control than most diamonds deliver.
- Shape: Diamond, with the mass and sweet spot high in the head for maximum power in attack.
- Level: Suits advanced players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: High, head heavy, putting real weight behind your smashes.
- Weight: 365-380g, a sturdier build with more stability and weight behind the ball.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: Developed with Tolito Aguirre, the aerodynamic bridge and smart-hole layout shift the sweet spot and handling closer to an all-round racket while keeping diamond power.
- Value: This is not a beginner's racket. Below advanced level, the head-heavy balance and firm core will punish inconsistent technique more than they reward power.
- 12K Carbon Surface: Woven carbon fibre face that is lighter and more responsive than standard carbon. You get crisp feedback and explosive power on overheads without the racket feeling sluggish or overly stiff in hand.
- EVA Black Core: High-density EVA rubber foam that stores and releases energy quickly. Firm rebound for powerful smashes, and the medium feel (softer than the Alien Pro) takes some sting out of off-centre hits.
- Aerodynamic Anti-Vibration Bridge: The bridge design improves airflow through the racket and dampens frame vibration. Faster swing speed on overheads, and more comfortable feel when you block or defend under pressure.
- Smart Holes System: Hole pattern distributed to balance the sweet spot across the face. Better accuracy and control on volleys and off-centre contact, which is rare for a diamond racket.
- Sandpaper Surface Finish: Matte roughened texture that grips the ball on contact. More spin on slices, lobs and angled volleys, giving you better touch and control when you drop the pace.
- 100% Carbon Tubular Frame: Full carbon frame tube for rigidity and long-term durability. The racket holds its shape and response through hard use, and the stiff frame channels energy into the ball rather than flexing.
The Hirostar Alien 2026 is pure class it feels powerful without sacrificing the control. The control is exceptional, especially on volleys and counterattacks, and the anti-vibration bridge gives it a smooth, connected feel.

How can I guarantee next day delivery?

Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day.

How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
