For 2019, ProKennex updates the Ki Q+ Tour (300g) with a sporty racecar cosmetic but keeps the “best of class” comfort and arm-safety that has defined the brand.
With its thin box beam, headlight balance and low stiffness rating, the Ki Q+ Tour has a wonderfully classic and controlled feel. Like the previous generation, this light player’s racquet gives intermediate and advanced players impressive control and spin on full cuts. The Ki Q+ Tour features Kinetic Quadfocus Technology, which expands the existing Kinetic energy chambers to give you greater protection against vibration, shock and racquet torque.
This racquet’s moveable mass multiplies the power of your stroke, making it easier for you to control the point. In conjunction with the arm-saving Kinetic technology in the head, this racquet’s butt cap features a Comfort Cap, further enhancing protection against harsh vibrations. Other notable features include a SpiralTech Carbon layup, which removes impurities and air pockets from the graphite layers in order to provide extra strength and dampening.
From the baseline, the Q+ Tour feels fast, comfortable and surgical. Stability is high for the weight. This stick also has excellent pocketing and dwell time. The whippy headlight balance will give you the easy acceleration required for spin, and the open 16×19 string pattern supplies more than enough bite for gripping the ball. But the real payoff from the baseline is the arm-friendly feel and easy power. At net this racquet comes around fast on reaction volleys, but it also does surprisingly well against pace. The exceptional touch will have you dropping the ball maliciously short. This is a must hit for the player who wants an arm-friendly control racquet with truly amazing feel and impressive maneuverability. The fact that it also has decent spin-potential is a very nice bonus.
Finally, aggressive servers who like hitting flat bombs should love this racket. Experienced players looking for a classic combination of control and feel are encouraged to give this stable and very arm-friendly racket a serious look.
