Design and build of the Kuikma MS Pro 2023
The channel puts the spotlight on the Kuikma MS Pro 2023, the Maxi Sánchez model, and immediately underlines a rare combo: a diamond shape with a low balance. It aims to pack power up top while remaining agile in defensive phases, something the reviewer confirms from the first rallies.
On materials, the face layers mix fiberglass (three sheets) with a single 18K carbon fiber layer. The surface includes a gentle 3D roughness with linear texture, more for grip stability than extreme spin. The core is a dual-density foam, and the frame introduces Kuikma’s new idea of EVA inserted in the head to increase rigidity and stability on impact. The heart has been redesigned, and the 13 cm grip plays into leverage and reach. There’s also an elastomer anti-vibration element in the handle and accommodation for custom weights in three frame positions, according to the guest tester.
Low balance diamond that stays maneuverable
The reviewer stresses how “manageable” the racket feels for a diamond, thanks to a balance point around 25.5 cm. Even at a measured 375 g, it swings easy, letting players reset quickly and defend with confidence from the back wall. Marcos Cambronero, the guest and a Kuikma-sponsored athlete, notes this low balance suits his own defensive needs, helping him keep the head stable and get the racket through the ball without fatigue.
Despite that maneuverability, the frame’s EVA insert adds structure, which the channel says can be felt when you speed up the tempo.
Sweet spot and feel across the face
Touch-wise, the MS Pro sits around medium to medium-hard. The creator highlights a dry, crisp impact without becoming harsh, which he found reassuring on blocks and counterpunches. One standout is the sweet spot size: for a diamond, the channel found it “above average,” making the MS Pro less punishing than typical power-centric shapes.
This translates into a progressive response: soften the hand and it absorbs; accelerate and it comes alive. The reviewer mentions the racket remained reactive without unexpected kicks off the face.
Net play, control under pressure, and volleys
At the net, the MS Pro feels rigid and linear. The creator could press volleys firmly, keeping height and depth under control. He points out that it doesn’t require a break-in period; stability is there from the start. Touch shots like drop volleys also came off cleanly, with that drier feel helping him “place” the ball.
When the pace goes up, the frame’s added stiffness and the handle’s anti-vibration piece improve comfort and accuracy, according to the guest.
Overheads and power when you hit high
The overhead chapter is where the MS Pro reveals its brief: controlled in the bandeja, livelier on the víbora, and explosive on flat smashes if you contact high on the face. The channel draws attention to the hole pattern that “starts lower,” leaving more mass and stiffness at the tip. If you strike above center—where there are fewer or no holes—the racket unloads significant power.
Spin is adequate via the 3D texture, and the reviewer even compares the overall comfort and maneuverability to the Bullpadel Hack 03, noting the MS Pro feels similarly manageable even if the exact hardness differs.
Insights from the channel’s guest, Marcos Cambronero
The creator is joined by Marcos Cambronero, World and European champion (2023) in adapted padel (wheelchair), who brings insider context as a Kuikma athlete. He explains that the brand has stepped up finishes and technologies in its Pro models, tuned to the preferences of Maxi Sánchez and Lucía Sainz. Marcos prefers Maxi’s spec because it blends control and power, with the low balance helping in defense.
He also highlights the handle elastomer for dampening and notes the frame hosts weight ports to tweak balance or add punch. The EVA insert across the head increases structural firmness, boosting power and durability on off-center hits.

Who should choose the Kuikma MS Pro 2023
The channel positions this as a power-oriented, yet versatile option for intermediate-advanced to advanced players who want an attacking racket that remains forgiving at the back. If you like to build points with control and then finish aggressively—particularly when you can take the ball high—the MS Pro’s low balance and stiff tip reward that style.
Players who struggle with head-heavy diamonds but still want top-end smash performance should shortlist it.
Key on-court takeaways from this review
- Maneuverable diamond with a low balance that aids defense.
- Medium/medium-hard and dry feel; stable under pressure.
- Sweet spot is larger than usual for this shape.
- Volleys stay linear and controlled; no real break-in needed.
- Overheads shine when contacting high on the face thanks to tip stiffness.
- Comparable in comfort/maneuverability to a Bullpadel Hack 03, per the reviewer.
