ALIEN CORE 2026Description & technology

The Hirostar Alien Core by Tolito Aguirre 2026 is the more measured, control-led member of the Alien line. It keeps the diamond shape and attacking DNA, but the 12K carbon face and EVA Black core make it easier to manage in defensive transitions, slower exchanges and point-building phases. The medium-high balance still gives enough weight behind smashes and volleys, while the sandblasted surface helps creative players use spin as a weapon rather than relying only on raw power. A strong choice for players who want Tolito-style aggression with cleaner control and less punishment than the Alien Pro.

  • Weight: 365–380g — a solid match-weight build for players who want stability through volleys, blocks and overheads.
  • Texture: Matte sandblasted finish — adds extra ball bite for viboras, kick smashes, sliced lobs and controlled spin work.
  • Balance: Medium-high — gives attacking leverage without feeling as demanding as the Alien Pro.
  • Sweet Spot: Enlarged effective hitting zone — Hirostar’s Smart Holes System is designed to improve manoeuvrability and expand the usable impact area.
  • Playing Style: Controlled attack — built for players who like to construct points with precision, then accelerate when the opening appears.
  • Player Ability: Strong intermediate to advanced — best for players with consistent technique who want a more forgiving Alien-family racket than the Pro version. Retail listings describe it around intermediate/advanced level, while Padelspeed positions it as ideal for advanced precision players.
  • Racket Shape: Diamond — offensive geometry with a more manageable medium-high balance.
  • Racket Material: 12K carbon hitting surface with a 100% carbon tubular frame for crisp response, durability and stable shot feedback.
  • Racket Core: EVA Black — offers a slightly softer, more comfortable response than the Pro’s firmer X-Treme setup.
