It pairs a soft EVA core with a fiberglass face and frame, low balance and a 341 to 360 g window. On paper that means arm-friendly control and quick hands, with limited power as the trade-off. Nobody has published a court test yet, so the specs have to speak for themselves. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 30 September 2026 Choose it if - you are a beginner who wants a forgiving first racket that can grow with you - you protect your arm and put comfort above hitting power - you defend a lot and win points by placing the ball, not by smashing it Skip it if - you want help finishing points at the net, because the specs point to low power - you prefer a firmer, crisper contact than a soft EVA and fiberglass build gives - you want a bigger hitting zone, in which case look at the StarVie Nyra or Babolat Counter Origin ## How it plays 8.0 **padell.io score 8.0** Play 9.0 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

The Kuikma PR Comfort Soft carries a level label you rarely see on one racket: Beginner / Advanced. That label suggests [Kuikma](https://padell.io/brands/kuikma/) aims at both ends of the sport. It is a bold positioning, and the spec sheet tells you what sits behind it. Everything here is chosen for softness. Soft core, soft face, light build, balance near the handle. Kuikma lists the player profile simply as control. ## Beginner / Advanced on one label: who that really covers A racket that fits both a first-timer and an advanced player usually leans one way. Here it leans toward the learner. The [round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), the low balance and the light weight all help someone who is still building technique. An advanced player gets something different from it: a calm, comfortable racket for long sessions, or for an arm that needs a rest. What no one gets is power. The profile meters put power low. If your game lives on smashes, this label does not include you, whatever the level tag says. ## Soft EVA under fiberglass, twice: the comfort recipe in full Kuikma lists the core as EVA and rates its density as soft. Both the face and the frame are fiberglass. That combination is the classic comfort recipe. A soft core deforms more at contact, which lengthens the time the ball sits on the face. Fiberglass flexes more than carbon, so vibration dies before it reaches your wrist and elbow. The comfort meter reads high, and every driver behind it points the same direction. The head measures 450 cm2, a normal round head. ## 341 to 360 g with the balance at the handle: quick hands by design The stated [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) runs from 341 to 360 g, with a nominal 350 g, and the balance sits low. A low balance puts the mass near your hand rather than in the head. You notice that everywhere. Blocks at the net come around fast. Low balls at your feet are easier to dig out. Changing grip mid-rally costs less effort. The maneuverability meter reads high, which matches. The other side of a low balance is real too. The head carries less momentum. Your arm has to supply the speed on overheads and bandejas. ## Medium sweet spot on a round racket: the one spec that holds back Round rackets usually forgive off-center hits well. This one lands on medium for sweet spot, the only meter that does not read high or low as expected for the shape. In practice that means a clean hit feels plush, but a ball caught toward the frame loses more than you would hope from a comfort racket. Beginners still grooving their contact should know that going in. It is not a dealbreaker. It is simply the honest weak point on an otherwise forgiving sheet. ## Nobody has published a court test: reading the meters honestly No independent review of the PR Comfort Soft is on record. No video test, no written court test. Everything on this page comes from Kuikma's own published specs and from the profile meters computed from those specs. That is worth saying plainly, because a spec sheet describes intentions, not behaviour. The soft core and fiberglass layup strongly suggest a dampened, arm-friendly contact. Until someone plays it and writes it up, that remains a reading of the numbers rather than a confirmed finding. ## PR Comfort Soft, StarVie Nyra or Babolat Counter Origin: picking a soft round racket The closest alternatives share the same idea. The [StarVie Nyra](https://padell.io/rackets/starvie/nyra/) is also round, low-balance and fiberglass-faced at 340 to 355 g. It rates high on sweet spot where the Kuikma sits at medium. The [Babolat Counter Origin](https://padell.io/rackets/babolat/counter-origin/) matches the comfort profile too. It runs 345 to 365 g with a head-light balance and an EVA core, and it also rates high on sweet spot. The [StarVie Nyra compared with this racket](https://padell.io/compare/starvie-nyra-vs-kuikma-pr-comfort-soft/) shows the difference is really that hitting zone. Choose the Kuikma if its weight window and soft setup suit you; look at the other two if forgiveness on mishits ranks first.

Round shape, low balance, a light 341 to 360 g range and a soft EVA core all make it forgiving and easy to swing. Just note the medium sweet spot, which is modest for a round racket. **Is it arm friendly?** On paper, very much so. The core is soft EVA, face and frame are fiberglass, and the balance is low, all of which dampen vibration. The comfort meter reads high. No court test has confirmed it yet, since no reviews are published. **How does it compare to the StarVie Nyra?** Both are round, low-balance comfort rackets with low power. The Nyra runs 340 to 355 g and rates high on sweet spot, where the PR Comfort Soft rates medium. If forgiveness on off-center hits matters most, the Nyra has the edge on paper. **Can an advanced player use it?** Kuikma labels it Beginner / Advanced, and an advanced defender who values control and comfort could enjoy it. The limit is power: the specs point low there, so players who finish points with smashes will miss punch. **What is the closest alternative?** The StarVie Kyra plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 108.14. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/starvie-kyra-vs-kuikma-pr-comfort-soft/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you want easy power for smashes (power 2.0/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 341 to 360 g. That counts as light. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
