PIKKL Hurricane Pro
Our take on the Hurricane Pro
The PIKKL Hurricane Pro is a widebody model with a forgiving sweetspot and longer handle for a better grip on those two-handed backhand shots. Choose the Hurricane Pro Tyra Black Edition 14mm for a thinner core and more power and the Hurricane Pro 16mm for a thicker core and more control.
