Kuikma Speed Pro

The Kuikma Speed Pro (the 2026 evolution of the TB930) is specifically engineered for players who crave pace, aggression, and a 'lively' court experience. In the modern game where points are often won with explosive serves and penetrating groundstrokes, the Speed Pro provides the aerodynamic efficiency required to hit through the court. The ball is constructed with a high-rebound natural rubber core that is pressurized to the upper limits of ITF specifications, ensuring a crisp, fast response even on slower surfaces or in humid conditions. The felt is a premium blend of 75% natural wool, which is the highest wool content in the entire Decathlon range. This high natural fiber ratio is crucial because it allows the ball to maintain a high level of grip for spin generation without the excessive drag that usually comes with lower-quality felt. In practice, the Speed Pro is the fastest ball in the Kuikma lineup, designed to zip off the court surface with a low, skidding bounce that is difficult for opponents to defend against. For players who participate in indoor tennis on carpet or polished hard courts, the Speed Pro is the gold standard, as it resists the 'deadening' effect that cold or indoor air can sometimes have on standard balls. Throughout its lifespan, the Speed Pro maintains its internal pressure remarkably well, thanks to advanced core-bonding techniques introduced for 2026. While the felt is designed for speed, it is also surprisingly durable; it tends to wear down evenly rather than 'exploding' into a fluff-ball, which preserves the ball's speed through the air for 2–3 full sets of high-intensity play. Advanced players will appreciate the 'pop' the ball provides on serves, often finding it easier to hit aces or force weak returns. However, the trade-off for this performance is a slightly firmer feel on impact. Players who suffer from arm fatigue may find the Speed Pro more demanding than the Comfort Pro. For the competitive athlete who plays an attacking style and wants a ball that rewards big swings and powerful serves, the Kuikma Speed Pro is the definitive choice for 2026.
