A few years ago, when Kuikma launched their €99 carbon fiber PR990, padel players were shocked with the quality they were able to price for such a price. They quickly won over a skeptical public.
At the end of 2022, Kuikma announced that after a year of working closely with Maxi Sánchez and Lucía Sainz, they are launching the new Pro line, the diamond-shaped MS Pro and the teardrop-shaped for a price of…🥁…€200.
The two models integrate all of the top technology including some that our reviewers haven’t seen elsewhere. Here’s non-exhaustive list:
Surface: Textreme carbon fiber (18K) and 3 layers of fiberglass
Frame: double tubular, EVA-filled
Core: Double Foam: black lower density EVA in interior, with thin layer of white higher density EVA near the surface of the racket face
Vibration reduction: Shock Block system, certified by Testea lab
The MS Pro is left-side, ranked number 16 at the time of publishing, Maxi Sánchez’s new racket with a turquoise and black design in a diamond format. At roughly 370 grams, it weighs more than the average racket, but with its medium balance, it is not cumbersome to manage.
Reviewers loved it at the front of the court where they were able to easily add depth to their shots. Its price was deemed justified by its excellent sensations.
A new power monster has entered the court.

The International Padel Federation's acceptance as a World Anti-Doping Code signatory places the sport under the same rigorous testing standards as Olympic disciplines — a prerequisite for global legitimacy that required two years of regulatory overhaul with the International Testing Agency.

HEAD and the Spanish Padel Federation just extended their partnership to 11 years — a bet on continuity in a sport where infrastructure innovation, from MejorSet's "Full Panoramic" courts to FIP's youth tour expansion in Asia, is accelerating faster than ever.

As the World Padel League brings Paula Josemaría, Marta Ortega, and Carlos Daniel Gutiérrez to Mumbai in August, Britain takes a different path — backing community-driven events like PadelFest to expand its player base from the ground up.
