Kuikma PR 590 for tentative first-timers; Indiga CTR if you know you're sticking with padel.
Two genuinely accessible padel rackets, both built for the same buyer at slightly different price points. The Bullpadel Indiga CTR is £60-80, 360-375g, round shape, low balance, soft EVA core, fibreglass face at 38mm. The Decathlon Kuikma PR 590 is £45 and pitched at all levels.
The Indiga CTR is the choice if you want Bullpadel's brand quality and a frame that'll feel familiar when you walk into any UK padel club. The control off the round head is excellent for a learner, and the build quality genuinely holds up beyond a season. It's heavier than some beginner options at 375g top end, which catches some players out.
The Kuikma PR 590 is Decathlon's house-brand value play. It works, it's £45, and you can return it easily.
