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
Cores:
The Hard rackets have medium-high density EVA
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.
