As the year draws to a close, Kuikma continues to highlight its Pro 2025 range, launched gradually over the months. Far from the promotional tone of its first videos, Decathlon's padel brand now places more emphasis on the technical construction of its models, developed around the same base of technologies.

The stated objective: to offer a coherent racket for regular and competitive players, without completely revolutionizing the segment, but by providing a structured response to the needs identified on the field.

A range organized around three models

La PowerPro, Hybrid Pro and Control Pro These form the core of the range. Each one caters to a different playing style.

La PowerProDeveloped with professional player Maxi Sánchez, this racquet represents the most attack-oriented option. With its diamond shape and head-heavy balance, it is aimed at players looking for a heavier shot.

La Hybrid Pro It occupies an intermediate position. Its teardrop shape allows it to be used in a variety of situations, with a more neutral behavior between restarting play, defending, and attacking. It is the preferred model of Lucia Sainz, who participated in its development.

La Control ProFinally, it adopts a round shape designed for players who want to control the pace, build points and maintain regular trajectories.

A common technical foundation

Beyond the shapes and playing profiles, the three models share the same basic technologies.

Le Air Foam FrameFirst, it combines a double carbon tube frame and injected foam that enhances stability. This construction aims to limit frame deformation upon impact and preserve feel over time.

Le Shock Block SystemNext, there is an insert placed in the handle to dampen vibrations. Adapted from a device used by Decathlon in tennis, this solution addresses a recurring demand from players exposed to heavy loads or experiencing elbow pain.

Carbon TeXtreme 18K This constitutes the outer layer of Pro rackets. Used in various industrial sectors, this material has the particularity of being light and rigid, which helps to stabilize the hitting surface.

The foam Dual-Foam It completes the set. Its dual-density structure allows for a different response depending on the intensity of the shot: softer in the short game, firmer when you need to accelerate.

Finally, the Custom Strap System It offers an interchangeable wrist strap and a reinforced handle cap, a practical detail for daily maintenance.

Kuikma accompanies its communication with simple messages, such as the recent "Just a regular day on the court with the new Pro." The tone reflects the main idea: to make this range a no-nonsense, everyday playing tool, emphasizing practicality rather than spectacle.
