This is one in a series of articles that review the current line of tennis
racquets available on the market. This article outlines the product line
offered by ProKenex. For more information or detailed racquet specifications,

Kinetic Pro Series
- Kinetic Charged Oversize
"Big brother" to the Charged Lite, the Kinetic Charged Oversize is
well rounded, offering some features of a game improvement racquet, such as
a 110 head size and wider beam, but at 11.2 ounces is weighted and balanced
more like a player's model. Players with medium to long swing types will
find a solid and stable offering with adequate punch and impressive
stability, thanks to its weight and reverse teardrop head shape.
- Kinetic Charged Lite
The first of two new racquets in the Pro Kennex Charged Racquet Series,
the Kinetic Charged Lite provides above average stability and leverage for a
frame in the sub 10oz. category. Its distinct reverse tear-drop head shape
and beam construction offer the advantages of an oversize frame without the
bulky feel; a perfect combination for the 3.5-5.5 level player looking for
substantial feel and comfort in an oversize yet maneuverable package.
- Ti 15G Reach
The Kinetic Ti 15g Reach comes close to offering the best of both worlds.
It's light and maneuverable, yet stable and comfortable. It offers a 105
square-inch head for a larger sweetspot but doesn't sacrifice control. It's
slightly longer for added reach and leverage without the "feeling"
of a longbody racquet. For players seeking a racquet in the medium-power
category, the Ti 15g Reach is a great alternative. For players seeking all
of the above and who suffer from tennis elbow, it doesn't get much better
than Kinetic System Technology; an integrated system using kinetic pellets
that's extremely effective in dampening frame vibration and shock.
- Pro 5G Reach
The Kinetic 5G Reach exchanges a little control and maneuverability for more
power and leverage than its shorter brother, the 5G Standard. A great match
for more advanced, faster swinging players who want the advantages of a
longer (28inch) frame in traditional packaging, such as 22mm beam width and
11.5oz + weighting. Players with joint/elbow problems, or hard hitters
looking for minimal vibration, will find relief in the soft yet solid feel
of Kinetic Technology. A great alternative for 4.0 to 6.0 level all-court
players. Available in midplus (100) and oversize (110) options.
- Pro 5G Standard
The Kinetic Pro 5G Standard maintains the best control/ maneuverability
