The ProKennex Q5 280 tennis racket is a good option for club players and developing junior players. The racquet incorporates Kinetic technology which is designed to stop arm injuries by delivering great shock absorption and vibration dampening. This improves your control and feel, which is enhanced by the Spiral Tech Carbon system that optimizes the racket’s strength, maximizing power and playability and helping you take your performance up a level. The frame weighs 280g (9.9oz), the balance is even and the head size is 100in2 (645cm2), giving you a larger sweet spot and more forgiveness. The Q5 280 is supplied strung with a Polyfibre TCS 1.25 string in an open 16x20 string pattern. The graphite racket comes with a full-length cover to protect it off the courts.

TECHNOLOGY
KINETIC TECHNOLOGY
KINETIC SYSTEM As the racket swings forward, tiny elements of kinetic mass, housed in dozens of chambers around the racket head, move to the back wall of the frame, loading energy. Forces are now in place to set off a scientifically calculated Kinetic reaction. AREA OF EFFICIENCY When the racket strikes the ball, this kinetic mass transfers forward, releasing their stored energy to the racket. This new momentum stabilizes the entire hitting surface, increases the area of efficiency of the hitting surface, and magnifies the possibilities of a good shot. Your shot is more precise even if you hit the ball off-center. ACTIVE DAMPING SYSTEM You know your arm feels after you’ve hit the ball? That ripples of vibration? The Kinetic System virtually eliminates this sensation. Once the ball leaves the strings, the tiny elements of kinetic mass actively damp this now-useless energy. This vibration is absorbed as it attempts to work its way through layers of active kinetic mass. The vibration energy is efficiently quieted. You’ll notice a huge reduction in wear and tear on your body and an increase in efficiency as a player.
SPIRAL TECH CARBON
Spiral Tech Carbon: A unique space-age blend of treated Spiral Tech Graphite and High Modulus Graphite, combined with Nano Epoxy to maximize the benefits of the racket. It removes air and impurities from between the carbon layers to create totally seamless graphite increases stability and strength. The technology creates rackets with ultimate power, feel and control, offering exceptional dampening qualities and maximizing playability. Spiral Graphite: Exceptional dampening qualities maximize playability. High Modulus Graphite: Delivers the needed strength and power.
