How Does the Kuikma PR990 Power Soft perform?

Kuikma’s PR990 line targets intermediate and advanced players with six rackets made in three shapes with two foam cores.
Shapes:
- The Precision rackets are round-shaped
- The Hybrid rackets are hybrid or teardrop-shaped
- The Power rackets are diamond-shaped (this model)
Cores:
- The Hard rackets have medium-high density EVA
- The Soft rackets medium-low density EVA (this model)
Kuima’s PR990 Power Soft is the medium touch diamond-shaped racket of the Kuikma PR990 line.
It’s semi-elastic surface made from three layers of fiberglass and one layer of 12K carbon fiber creates a generous sweet spot for a racket that excels at defending not power, despite its name.
It is not a truly power-oriented racket - it is a more versatile tool with a comfortable style of play.

Simone Mazzola Padel

I really liked this racket. “Power” in the name is incorrect - it is great instead for a right-side point constructor

El Chini Consejo

Very good quality-price ratio, but compared to other rackets, e.g. the Kombat Black 12K, it felt lacking some things. Recommended for intermediate or advanced players. Beginners will have problems maneuvering this racket.
