ratio in the Kennex line. Head light balance and standard 27 inch length mix
well with the unique 100sq. inch head size. It all adds up to a
"players" racquet with a little more power than most control
categorized frames. Mix in the solid feel of Kinetic Technology and you have
the most popular Kinetic racquet Kennex has produced. A nice choice for 4.0
to 6.0 level all-court players with fast swing types or hard hitters with
joint/elbow problems.
Pro 5G Tour
Same balance (9 points head light), head size (100), length (27inch), construction (22mm beam width), composition (100% Ultra High Modulus Graphite) and Kinetic Technology as the Kinetic Pro 5g Standard. So what distinguishes the Pro 5G Tour from its near identical brother? The clear answer is weight and stiffness. The Pro 5G Tour comes in at a hefty 13oz. (to the 5G Standard's 11.6oz.) While some maneuverability is sacrificed, the heavier weight produces a more solid feel with a touch more power thanks to increased frame stiffness. An exceptional, and often overlooked, choice for 4.5 to 7.0 advanced level players with fast and full swing types.

Non-Kinetic Racquets
- Black Ace Tour
The Black Ace Tour is the "black" sheep, in a manner of speaking, of the ProKennex family line. Thinner (20mm) and more flexible than any of its cousins from the Kinetic lineage, the Ace Tour compares well with such competing models as the Wilson ProStaff 6.1, Yonex RD-7 and Prince Precision Approach. The smaller, more traditional head size (95) and 12.8oz. weight lend the Black Ace Tour pure control/feel qualities that bode well in the hands of advanced 5.0 + level players with an appetite for hard hitting. If you like a heavier feeling "players" frame, with exceptional control, the ProKennex Black Ace Tour is worth a look.
