ProKennex serves up the perfect entry point into the ultra arm-friendly world of Kinetic technology

ProKennex adds another chapter to the lightest member of the Black Ace family. Featuring the legendary engineering of one of the game's most experienced racquet manufacturers, the Black Ace 285 is ideal for the intermediate player who wants spin-friendly targeting and outstanding feel. As with the previous generation, this racquet packs an ultra-flexible RA stiffness, making it one of the most arm-friendly members of its class. For 2025, the layup gets updated with a groundbreaking Aurealian carbon weave, resulting in a more consistent response while also enabling tighter manufacturing tolerances. Complementing this innovation is FlexLogic, allowing the racquet to bend in ways that enhance dwell time, pocketing, and feel. This racquet also benefits from ProKennex's legendary Kinetic System, which places movable mass at 3 and 9 o'clock in the head to boost stability and comfort. This racquet also features a Kinetic Comfort Cap, a handle technology that minimizes harsh impact vibrations. These time-tested Kinetic technologies offer one of the most arm-friendly hitting experiences available. Ultimately, with its outstanding control and feel, the Black Ace 285 is an obvious choice for the improving intermediate player who wants to hit a more accurate ball.

Awesome, comfortable and customizableI am a Beginner (2 years of experience) NTRP 3.0 player. Took 1 year off from a tennis elbow problem (caused by technique, overtraining and racquet weight around 325g strung). Bought this racquet to restart my game. What a pleasant surprise. Racquet came strung with Solinco Mach 10, a tad less than 50 lbs. Not used to copoly, but the racquet is super comfortable with it. No problems whatsoever, not even a slight hint on my elbow, thankfully. Racquet is light enough to facilitate a swing, but packs a decent punch with its 320g swing weight. Kinetic system is real! Tinkered with weight around the handle and 3 and 9 position, works like a charm. Awesome racquet, thanks Prokennex and TW !
