The Hurricane Pro 16mm by PIKKL is a standard-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. Its swing weight of 109 is considered low, potentially making it easier to maneuver. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate all-court players seeking a balance between power and control. The combination of core and face materials may offer a blend of power and control, while the high twist weight rating (6.2 out of 10) and high twist weight percentile (81st percentile) suggest good stability on off-center hits. The relatively low swing weight could be beneficial for quick exchanges at the net, but might limit power for some players. Spin potential appears to be a strength, with a spin rating of 8.5 out of 10 and a spin percentile in the 93rd percentile. However, drive and volley speed ratings and percentiles are comparatively lower, potentially indicating less power and pop than some other paddles.
