Kuikma’s PR990 line targets intermediate and advanced players with six rackets made in three shapes with two foam cores.
Shapes:
The Hybrid rackets are hybrid or teardrop-shaped
The Power rackets are diamond-shaped
Cores:
The Hard rackets have medium-high density EVA
The Precision Soft is the easiest to play with model of Kuikma’s PR990 line.
Targeted toward right-side or otherwise defensive players seeking maneuverability and comfort. This racket is not targeted at delivering max power or control.
Its sweet spot is enlarged by the round shape and the relatively soft core. Its three layers of fiberglass enclosed by a layer of 12K carbon fiber gives the racket a medium ball output, which can help you passing the ball from the back of the court, but result in a minor loss of control at high speeds at the net.
With the semi-reactive core’s bounce effect, this racket suits a player who prefers slow strokes or blocking volleys.
This is a great inexpensive alternative to the Nox ML10.

"Very recommendable racket for those looking for a versatile racket, which will help in defense and be easy to handle. It doesn’t require much of us, it works well at low and high speeds. It can work for players of all levels. It only doesn’t suit those looking for power and aggression."
