Until now, Kuikma, the brand padel from Decathlon offered two high-end models. It released a third this year: the Hybrid, which exists in both Soft and Hard versions.

We have told you a lot about Kuikma PR 990 Hybrid Soft, which we have you offered two tests. Focus today on the Hard version. An identical racket in terms of construction to the Soft version, shaped like water drop also but which includes a denser BlackEva foam.

And that's where all the difference is made, this Kuikma PR 990 Hybrid Hard, thanks to its harder foam, will more precise, and more powerful on the blows in force. In return, you will have less ball exit and comfort than with the PR 990 Hybrid Soft.

For lovers of not too soft foams, this pala is the perfect compromise between the PR 990 Power Hard and PR 990 Precision Hard models. In other words, a racket at the height of versatility, which provides an excellent blend of precision, power and maneuverability. The effects have not been forgotten with the rough surface.

Technology lovers will not be disappointed, carbon tubular double, carbon 12k on the sides, BlackEva foam: it is the security of having a robust and resistant racket over time. At Kuikma we take care of the details and in addition to the TPU protector we find a padded wrist strap, always pleasant.

Weight level we are average with 372 grams (+ -5). A racket therefore ideal for players of a good level, wishing a balanced racket and rigid feel. On the other hand if you prefer the absorption of vibrations, the comfort, and the exit of ball, we advise you rather to orient you on the Soft version.
