Since Decathlon with Kuikma entered the market of padel upscale, offering palas for less than 100 €, it seems that some Spanish brands are aligning themselves with these prices to compete with the French firm. Wish the quality is always good. More affordable prices for players in demand.

I had fun visiting several Decathlon stores in Spain (I live in Tenerife). The Kuikma ray has been emptied. Only one pair of palas remain in stock. For less than 100 €, this style of pala has made people happy. Personally I have not tested this racket but one thing is sure is that the price attracts.

It seems that other brands feel the wind turning and that it may be time to lower the prices of palas to take market share; the top for us consumers. The latest to have announced high-end palas at 100 € and palas model pro at 125 € was Mystica.

Dear friends, is the era of more 200 € rackets over?
