PRO KENNEX Kinetic Ki5 315 Tennis Racquet New Cosmetics

I suffered from severe tennis elbow and rested, rehabbed and had 2 cortisone injections over an 11 month period...on the verge of needing surgery. Did all I could medically. I read extensively about arm-friendly racquets and strings. Bought the new cosmetic KI5 315 and strung it with Babolat VS Team Natural Gut, 17 guage at 54. I found an excellent pro who is a great teacher of proper technique. I am on my 5th lesson no game play till my technique is just right. With all the ingredients in place, I am hitting not muscling the tennis ball effortlessly with proper form and pain free. Thank you to Tennis Express for doing a wonderful job in preparing the most arm-friendly racquet on the planet. The Kinetic System really works even on mishits. Stiff, light racquets will only make your arm worse. Anyone with elbow or shoulder problems should follow this advice!

Two summers ago, after a 5-year tennis layoff, I bought an Aero Drive Pro without doing any research. I figured, if its good enough for Nadal... Loved the way the racquet performed, but I began having elbow problems for the first time in my life Im in my mid-50s. After doing a ton of research, and going through many racquets, I can now play pain free. Some of that credit can go to the Ki5 315. It is weighted perfectly with great plow-through and feel. Sweet spot is nothing short of fantastic. I was a little worried about being able to hear all of the tiny lead pieces rattling inside the frame, but, not a chance. Its a resourceful design and great technology. And I truly love the graphic on the inside of the throat with the Red Cross symbol over the elbow diagram.

I suffered with golfers elbow pain for over 18 months and tried Prince, Wilson, Volkl, and Head racquests strung with arm friendly strings in an attempt to diminish the elbow pain. Nothing worked even after a 6 months hiatus from tennis. Internet research and the Tennis Express racquet review suggested using the Pro Kennex Ki5. I strung this racquet 2011 model with Babolot Excel French Open strings, and Ive had zero pain using this racquet and love everything about it. Consistent feel on ground strokes, pop on my serve, and the head light frame helps on volleys and overheads. I purchased a 2nd frame 2012 model, and I strung this racquet with a hybrid blend. Poly on the mains and Babolot Excel French Open string on the crosses. Again, no pain and the same great feel. 5 Stars. I can now consider playing competitive tennis again. W.
