Le 15k carbon mixed with fiberglass will offer you an excellent compromise between power and ball output. As on the other models of the brand, the sweet-spot is widened, for more control. So we are dealing with a high-end racket, ideal for attackers, rather rigid, and with very good handling.

 

- On the other, the Kuikma Hybrid Hard : with its foam Dense BlackEva, this pala in water drop shape, provides an excellent blend of precision, power and handling. The presence of a rough surface should delight fans of effects.

At the frame, the double carbon tubular, and the carbon 12k on the faces, will bring you rigidity and therefore more power, but also solidity. Weight level we are average with 372 grams (+ -5). A model therefore ideal for players of a good level, wishing a balanced racket and a rigid feel, with an excellent quality / price ratio.
