How Does the Kuikma PR990 Hybrid Hard perform?

Kuikma’s PR990 line targets intermediate and advanced players with six rackets made in three shapes with two foam cores.
Shapes:
- The Precision rackets are round-shaped
- The Hybrid rackets are hybrid or teardrop-shaped (this model)
- The Power rackets are diamond-shaped
Cores:
- The Hard rackets have medium-high density EVA (this model)

Expert Reviews of the Kuikma PR990 Hybrid Hard

7.6
Fabio Ferro

Good for both aggressive and conservative player but a little bit more for the aggressive bc rigid core, 12k carbon, reactive situation, but not too rigid in the back as without the oversized surface. Normally a racquet of this quality should cost 3x more.

This Hybrid Hard model is focused on advanced players, both attacking right side players and classic left-side players who want a hard racquet to finish points on a fast court. We were all surprised by Kuikma's launch of this high-end line, but they have also surprised us with the high quality of the racquets.
