Finally! As a pro kennex user, this is what I’ve been waiting for
I love my Q+ 15, stable and easy on the arm, easy power and spin, easy to hit through the ball.
I always thought tennis technology was hocus pocus. I used the pure aero, and even more flexi Wilson blade 98 but still had forearm issues. I switched to ProKennex Kinetic 315g and wow! Made such a difference. It reduced the pain so much.
very good to know its not marketing hype!
That's your problem right there. If you have arm problems, never ever play with the Wilson Blade 98. I don't have tennis elbow at all, and I got horrible tennis elbow after playing with the blade 98 for 5 minutes, like my entire elbow was in sharp pain. Not just some parts, the ENTIRE elbow. It's also not like I can't handle heavier racquets. I've played with Clash 98, Pure Drive, Pure Drive +, Prince Graphite 107G, Pure Aero, Q +15 Pro, and I was fine with all of them. Also, since the time I played with the Blade 98, that type of elbow pain never came back when I was playing with any other racquet.
The 16x19 315g prokennex ki tour is my favorite, not only arm friendly but does well everywhere. I also own the Ki 5 PSE (pro special edition) it's a beast at 12.9oz strung and 345 swing weight.
I’m leaning to buy it. What were you using before? What’s the feel?
I remember the kinetic technology on their rackets already existed around 1986. I remember my friend having one of those. Btw, you should have also cut the other ball to depressurize both of them. The pressure adds to the extra bounce. But yes, having an object moving inside will somewhat counteract the bounce, as it will present opposing forces. That's also why in an airplane you'd always want the pallettes tied down. Same reason F1 cars have fuel bladders cells that deflate instead of rigid tanks, so the liquid doesn't slosh around - also for crash safety reasons. For kinetic, they are doing the opposite and taking advantage of the moving mass and center of mass. Btw, you shouldn't be "shaking" that handle like "that" (@6:03) close to your chest without soft instrumental chikibawbaw background music.
Yup.. Great racquets... Extremely Underrated. Love the Q15.
Is the Q+ 15 maneuverable around the net?
Pro Kennex makes amazing racquets. I started as a junior using Pro Kennex and just found a Ceramic Ace 90 and a Silver Ace Prophecy at a thrift store for $7. Both of these racquets have more feel than most modern racquets and are fantastically arm friendly-without resorting to soft strings. The Ceramic Ace also has an interesting proprietary option to load lead shot around the head (in the grommets) to weight it up. Super informative video about a lesser known brand. I also appreciate that you are highlighting options for those of us with arm issues. Keep up the stellar reviews!
Yeah the ceramic ace was ace. I didn't have one .. played with a black ace 90 but gf had a ceramic
Switched to Pro Kennex Ki5 315 several years ago. Solved my tennis elbow trouble. The newer version of it is the 320.
Pro Kennex was HUGE in the 80's. I remember the Silver Ace 90.
The good one was the PK black ace. I think they re-issued it a few years ago but I don't know if it's any good.
@@msalvs The new is a perfect racket. Incredibly comfortable, but not soft, jelly like Clash.
@@bb1984forever The clash bends in a way (throat) that makes you feel it's soft but the hoop of the racquet is very stiff. It's a strange racquet, I don't think "jelly" translates exactly my feelings on that racquet. It's soft yes but also crisp. I played with it twice, strung with element.
@@msalvs I used a Clash 100 before the PK Black Ace 300.
I can compare these 2. The Black Ace 300 much more serious and precise racket.
I still own the black ace 90 ... that is a steely stiff sword ... thin like a blade. But I also have the first kinetic that he shows in the vid ... got it 20 years ago ... very nice racquest
This make of racquet was the most popular in my country ( South Africa ) when I was a junior. It disappeared for ages and seems to be making a comeback.
Thanks for the video... Would you please create a video comparing ProKennex Black Ace 300 and Wilson Clash 100? I am an intermediate player that always have tennis elbow and looking forward to replace my PURE AERO after watching all your videos. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this request, thanks a lot and more power to you!
I m one of the first your follower.. Tell me.
What are the best simple rackets for us (50 years) amator club player? We believe your words.. With no doubt
Next video: Why Head MXG FAILED. like si he can see this
Hi, love your insights. Looking forward to your ProKennex Black Ace review please? Thank you. Merry Christmas!!!
Please a tutorial from the pro kennex q30 in black race design. You are the best racket speaker ... ;o)) From Germany best wishes
I play with the original kinetic rackets that are shown in the video and I personally like how the chambers transfer the weight.
Thank you. I am also curious about Donnay :)
I have a Donnay pro cystic one used by Pro Jimmy Arias. It is modeled after a Sampras 85 sq inch and some say it was made in the same mold. Anyway, it is one of the best hitters stick ever made. And, it is fun to hit balls with it.
I have both the ProKennex Ki 15 PSE and the newer Ki 15 (300). I like the Ki 15 PSE 105 sqin head its 27 in length and 11.5 oz weight. The Ki 15 (300) was made lighter and I got a shock down my arm from hitting the ball, I added 9g of lead tape to the throat. The only con I would say is that you loose some feedback when hitting the ball.
Thank You!
Anyone try the new pro kennex black ace 2020
315? Not selling in US yet.
Racket Aid the best tennis 🎾 stringing service in the US
To be fair, the ball which was cut to insert pennies lost its pressure and that's likely why it didn't bounce... Not saying the kinetic tech doesn't work but the demo with the balls is flawed due to physics
So the Q15 is for the older player with regular arm problems? It's relatively stiff and light, which I assume is bad news for your arm. Or does the Kinetic technology override those drawbacks? I'm a bit confused. I'm nearly 60 with arm issues and was considering the Clash Tour. but the Q15 is more suitable, right?
I bought the prokennex tour pro model 2021. weight 325 X 18/20. I would like to put as a string or a multifilament, or a natural gut and monofilament hybrid. which strings for both solutions do you recommend and how many kilograms? Tank Pino
Is it better than wilson clash? Anyone any experience? I do not like clash so thinking about this brand. Thanks.
I wish i started out with one because i did get tennis elbow after i put stiffer strings on a light stiff racket that i no longer use. I only use my pro kennix now with17 ga strings
Great video, how does the Pro Kennex dampening system compare to the VOLKL dampening system.
@habib...no comparison really,, although recent Volkl's feel rather muted due to the dampening in the handle.
PK with their method seem to reduce vibrations well before they reach the handle, although they also appear to have 'something' in the handle also.
Cheers.
Can you do one about Volkl Racquets
Hey tennis spin, so I commented a few vids ago that I have a 4 3/8 pure aero, and it fits my hand perfectly, but when I put a tourna grip on it, it gets too large for my hand. You recommended that I use a Babolat Skin feel and a Tourna to make the grip the same size as the stock grip on the handle. However, because the Babolat Skin Feel is discontinued, what else Do you recommend so that I maintain the 4 3/8 size and the same balance of my racket?
wilson featherthin
Or Prince Resithin
Pro Kennex were the best
I play a pair of very light 280g, 100 sq inch Volkl Tour 6 Mark II, and a Pure Drive 285g. All of them are really stiff and giving injuries. Can you recommend whether I should switch over to Q+5 or Q+15 ?
Sounds like you like stiffer powerful racket. I would demo the ProKennex Q Ki15 at 300g. It is 105sq inch but if you put it on top of 100sqin racket, you can hardly noticed the size difference
Biggest racquet manufacturer back then. Taiwan made
I don't use anything else. They need a better marketing team and a Pro in the top 10 to endorse them.
Gimmicks are for once a week recreational players. A good player doesn't need or look for gimmicks to improve their game. Good players focus on improving technique.
the kinetic is not a gimmick .. it makes perfect sense .. it is a whip within the frame ... feels great
Prokenniex needs a new marketing team for sure. Underrated
Thank you! Always great videos, can you tell the story of the Head MXG tennis racquets? What was the deal with them?? Thanks
I personally love Pro Kennex and always have. My first raquet ever was the old Pro Kennex Silver Ace 90. was around 1984ish Im guessing. Still have it - fiberglass and ceramic. I most recently play with the 2019 KI Q+5 Pro, and I freakin love it!! Its any absolutely beautiful frame. It actually sits right in the sweet spot for me. Its not a modern tweener - I hate all modern tweeners. But its not pushing into super heavy tour players raquet. 310 unstrung. 320 swingweight. String it up with some Gamma Pro multi - and this middle aged guy can still hit with the best of em. Pro Kennex doesnt get the following here in the States. But still has a huge following overseas. Give one a demo if you are looking at buying. You just may love it!
1 5 15 is just model number, the kinetic mass is at 10 and 2 and 4 and 8.
I have been using prokennex for over 10 years, only downside is it is heavy co pared to other racquets but most arm friendly racquet I have used
You should have mentioned the 5G and 7G. They were the original micro carbon filled frames >25 years ago. They are still producing these frames today new for $129. I bought my 7G in 2001 new for $115. Talk about inflation.
do you have a pro kennex Q+ tour in 4 1/4 size in stock somewhere...i like the black racing stripe paint job and my tennis elbow has turned into golfer's elbow pretty bad now...
Dampners don't dampen the vibration. That's a myth. They dampen the sound which we relate to feel.
Maybe for dampener. However the pro kennex ki system have been tested by MIT and proven to reduce vibration by over 40%

Correct
Thanks again. Very informative!
ProKennex Ki Q+ Tour and a soft poly solved my two years wrist problems! Nearly had to quit playing tennis. Can't tell how happy I am to be able to play tournaments again! Plus it's a superb racket as such for advanced players.
ProKennex are indeed amazingly, comfortable plush racquets....BUT they are so comfortable that they almost absorb too much power, so stroke for stroke, gram to gram, its harder to hit winners with these than say an arm wrecking Babolat Pure Aero. Horses for courses I guess and each to their own!
the black ace absorbs absolutely nothing ... it is so stiff I'm surprised the cover wasn't designed to look like a coffin
How do those first 10g rackets play, are they any good in today game? from what I see the new versions have Kinetic mass at 3 and 6 , and the Q have at 2,5,7,10. and the handle. versus the old ones all around the frame 100 chambers plus the handle. any info greatly appreciated, suffering arm problems (cast on for 2 moths) handy man issues plus old age. seeking arm friendly rackets
My 11 year old uses a Pro Kennex with Nat Gut in the mains, Honestly this is a lovely racket and plays very nicely,
I guess they’re not popular cause no one on the pro tour uses them
Andreas Seppi does.
@@chuckfriebe843 Yes but he is not very popular.
I’m returning to the game and using two Kennex Bronze Ace rackets from around 35 years ago, and alternating those with a couple of cheap oversized rackets that are like slingshots. At 59 and with a sore arm it time for an upgrade. I plan to demo a couple of Kennex kinetic rackets.
I’m in Australia I just got the kinetic q15 a few weeks ago. Nil demo. I grabbed one of the last available. Seems to work pretty good. I’ve noticed it’s arm friendly . My arm wasn’t as sore as previously used a rf97. It’s a bit of a change... I used to have a composite destiny and cooper ace / silver ace in the past. Market here in Australia is dominated by Wilson head and babolat rackets. It was hard but managed to get a pro kennex racket.
I've used a 5g kinetic for over 10 years.. still love it. But since all i do now is feed balls to my kids any racquet will do:P
Just ordered Q+ 15 light with natural gut and Q 15 (260) for spare 😀
Hi what brand is that Neon Yellow/Green-ish overgrip? Love that color
You sound a little under the weather, hoping you’re doing well.
Great video as always though
Hopefully it’s not COVID
Anyone remember the Pro Kennex Type C that came out like 10 years ago? It was Graphite and Kevlar and was silver gray in color. Wow what a great feeling stick!
It's the redondo MP, I think it was burgundy. great racquet
Hi Tennis Spin
Martyn from England here.
Great video for someone who suffers from tennis elbow, would you recommend a lighter racket with a thicker grip and damper to try and reduce the vibration?
Thanks
From my experience lighter racquets cause more shock down your arm unless its a widebody with plenty of the trampolining effect. Lighter racquets may cause you to swing too early overextending your arm causing "boxer's arm" and "tennis elbow". You can try adding lead tape to the racquet as well as the shock dampener.
Gotta love the “ shake, shake, shake” routine!
great video agree the technology really works... will probably extend my tennis playing for many years...
Im in Australia I've just managed to get to order a kinetic Q15. Others are out of stock and nil in the country....
@@simonlau3670 tennis warehouse have them available...
Is that thing ITF/ATP/WTA legal?
Yes Andreas Seppi uses the 325g Q tour
Caz fai online
I bought my first ever ProKennex about this time last year (and I've used just about all brands, including those no longer seen from days gone by). It was the qi tour pro 315 (16x19). What a great racquet. Whilst it's not actually my racquet of choice, it still sits in my bag and gets used from time to time.
Part of the reason it isn't my stick of choice is that I could never get a pair, unless buying from overseas & they would be tough to match. A year later the distributor still hasn't brought in another. With only a handful of stores selling PK across the country, you'd think the distributor would make some effort to get some stock.
Aside from just lousy service I'd have preferred it 18x20 the same as it's heavier 325 brother.
I love the thin beam, never use a dampener in any of my sticks; it's a tad too muted in feel as is, so strings are important. For those without arm issues I'd suggest a crisp full bed of poly.
Otherwise, aside from the string pattern not being my preference in this particular frame, it plays well in stock, doesn't feel unstable against heavy hitters & is surprisingly powerful.
Perhaps I may buy another from you in the near future. I've just got some Angell's arriving very shortly; they just passed customs over the weekend.
Can you confirm whether the qi tour pro (315) is still current stock please? Seems so looking at websites overseas. However, distributor here reckons he's not/can't get more as stock isn't current. Seems a pile of doggy dooo to me.
Another top review Kojak talking about a brand that is barely thought about by most and all in all makes some good frames.
Cheers. 🎾🎾🎾
Where are you located? Prokennex ki Q tour still available in the USA www.tennis-warehouse.com/ProKennexracquets.html
I bought it from tennis express an year ago
Substitute the word "shock" for every time he says "vibration", and this video is mostly correct.
Vibration doesn't really cause arm issues, shock does. The Kinetic racquets absorb shock.
Agree that there are issues with the scientific correctness of his explanations, especially when he showed the example of the tennis balls. But in addition to shock, there are frame vibrations that contribute to arm discomfort. Stiffer frames exhibit both higher shock and higher frequency vibrations, whereas flexible frames undergo less shock and also lower frequency vibrations; the latter is generally more comfortable.
please, make a video about the right way to clean-up a racquet! Can I wash my racquet with soap and water? Should use alchool?
