Skill level: Intermediate
The Kuikma PR Comfort soft is designed for intermediate players whose playing style revolves around precision and control. It's a racket that, right from the first rally, will astound you with its excellent handling and comfort, all thanks to its low balance, large sweet spot and good ball exit.
Technologies
- Soft EVA foam: moderate speed and high forgiveness of off-centre hits.
- Glass Fibre: comfort and ball speed at a moderate intensity.
External material: Fibreglass
Fibreglass is the most flexible external material. The more flexible the fibre, the easier the ball will come off the racket and the more comfortable the shot. A less flexible fibre delivers more power to the racket.
Internal material: Soft EVA
More elastic foam for maximum comfort with every shot.
Balance: Low
This is the racket balance point, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the racket handle. 260 mm for this model
The higher this value (head balance), the greater the power and stability of the racket. You'll also get the impression that it's heavy (even if it's not that heavy). However, you'll have to give up some manoeuvrability. The smaller the number (grip biased or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle, but the less power you'll get.
Datasheet
Weight: 350 g.+/- 7 g.
Shape: round.
Balance: Low (260 mm.)
Thickness: 38 mm.Frame composition: 2 layers of glass fibre
Core composition: Soft EVA.
Playing style: Control.
This version's round shape creates a larger sweet spot so you can hit faster, more precise shots to give you more control on defence.
Weight: 350 g.
Just like the balance point, the weight impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.
