Buy the Kuikma PR 990 for cheapest hybrid versatility, otherwise the Bullpadel Indiga CTR for a forgiving round-shape brand-name beginner.
Budget beginner showdown, and an honest one. The Bullpadel Indiga CTR at £60-80 is the brand-name pick: round shape, low balance, soft EVA core, fibreglass surface, decent build quality. Comfortable grip and the Bullpadel name carries some weight if you ever resell.
The Decathlon Kuikma PR 990 at £50 is the value option. Hybrid shape, medium balance, soft EVA core, fibreglass surface. The hybrid shape adds a touch more attacking edge than the Indiga's pure round.
Things to be honest about:
Both are genuinely fine beginner choices. The deciding factor is whether you want a forgiving round (Indiga) or a more versatile hybrid (Kuikma) — and whether the Bullpadel brand matters to you.
