How the Alien Core 2026 Padel Racket plays
Attack geometry with room to breathe. The forgiving Alien, for advanced players who build the point then finish it.
The Hirostar Alien Core 2026 Padel Racket is a diamond padel racket weighing 365–380 g with a medium-high balance, a 12K Carbon face and an EVA Black core. It suits advanced players with an all-round game that switches between defence and attack.
Our ratings are a buying guide based on each racket's build and how it plays, not lab measurements.
Pick it if
- You switch between defence and attack in the same rally
- Your technique is consistent and you generate your own pace
Look elsewhere if
- You need a big, forgiving sweet spot. Try a round racket
- You are new to padel. See rackets by level
- You prefer a light racket for long sessions
Description
The Hirostar Alien Core 2026 is the more controlled expression of the Alien family. You keep the attacking geometry and the power on overheads, but you get a wider usable sweet spot and better feel on volleys and counters. The Xeno Green finish gives it a bold identity that matches how it plays.

Specifications
Weights are nominal. Grips, overgrips and protectors add a few grams to any racket.
Questions players ask
Who is the Hirostar Alien Core 2026 for?
Advanced players who want diamond attacking geometry with more control and forgiveness than the Alien Pro, and strong intermediate players ready to move into a diamond shape.
Is the Alien Core easier to use than the Alien Pro?
Yes. The 12K carbon face and softer EVA Black core give a more elastic response and a wider usable sweet spot, so mistimed shots are less punishing than on the Pro's 24K construction.
Is the Hirostar Alien Core a power or a control racket?
It sits between the two. The diamond shape and medium-high balance deliver real power on overheads, while the softer face and core give you enough control to construct rallies and volley accurately.
Can a beginner use the Hirostar Alien Core?
No. Every racket in the Alien range is diamond shaped and built for developed technique. A beginner will get far more from a round or teardrop control racket.
