This very powerful and spin-friendly racquet is dangerous in the hands of an aggressive baseliner 

ProKennex updates the Ki 10 with a new cosmetic! Like the previous version, this racquet offers a dangerous combination of spin, precision and power. It also holds up well against higher levels of pace, making it great  against big hitters. Like previous generations of the Ki 10 this racquet benefits from Kinetic Technology which uses movable mass in the head to reduce the amount of shock that reaches your arm. Other arm-saving technologies include a Comfort Cap, which adds Kinetic technology to the butt cap to attenuate residual vibrations. This racquet also comes with a firm Spiral Tech Carbon layup to create fewer impurities and air bubbles. The result, according to ProKennex, is a more stable and powerful feel when striking the ball. With this update to the Ki 10, ProKennex keeps a good thing going. Intermediate and advanced players looking to hit heavy spin-loaded shots that drop hard and explode off the court will love this one.

Unique combination of power, spin and controlAn addictive, powerful frame that's hard to put down. The mold for this frame can be traced back 35 years, and in a way it certainly feels that way ... it's very raw, and the way it hits can be described kindly as industrial. Almost agricultural. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. This is a unique frame with a rare skillset that's tricky to find these days. If not outright unique. First of all, it's both very heavy, and very stiff (70 RA, as measured by several sources), which means it's double-dosing on power sources. You get the best of both worlds: the stiffness-based power that lets you reach out to tap a ball and watch it magically go over the net, as well as the mass-based plow-through power that transforms full groundstrokes into heavy weaponry. It absolutely devours strings, but while it's doing so it offers very high levels of spin, seemingly regardless of string. The mass encourages massive amounts of string movement, so even though you're not getting the whippy Pure Aero style RPM's, you're getting a lower trajectory ball that really explodes off the court (just as the Tennis Warehouse summary says). That lower trajectory is thanks to the (in my opinion) perfectly dialed-in string pattern, which has the same density at center as a Q+ Tour Pro. It's a really well thought-out compromise that prevents the Ki10 from becoming an unusable, unwieldy terror of a frame. That dense pattern in the center of the stringbed also allows you to blast flat shots if the point calls for it, provided you nail the right spot. That's a characteristic that's hard to find nowadays in an era where spin racquets spin like crazy and if you want a flat shot, well, go switch frames in the middle of the point. You won't be nailing dimes -- it's still a 100(ish) square inch 16x19 frame -- but if you're content to aim for somewhat larger targets, you'll get what you ask for here. It's consistent, and I have not had any issues with the frame spraying. It almost feels like it *wants* to spray and sail, but it just never does -- the trajectory height could not be more perfect. And I say that as a player prone to sailing and spraying. The Ki10 keeps its power inside the lines, thanks to the string pattern. There's really thoughtful design here. The string pattern really is the secret sauce of this frame, and I hope and pray that Pro Kennex resists the temptation to turn the Ki10 into a full-on spin racquet, sacrificing its incredible versatility in the name of chasing a market. So it's got all kinds of power, tons of easy spin, and good control for the type of racquet it is. And it does all that with Kinetic tech, which means that even with a sensitive arm, I can use this frame for 3 hours and feel nothing in my elbow the next day. In a 70 RA frame? Let's call that what it is: a miracle. Drawbacks? PLENTY. Prospective buyers would be extremely well advised to request spec matching, since these frames can get wild in their spec tolerances depending on the batch, and at these target specs (305g/305 swing weight unstrung, stated by PK themselves), if you get one even a little bit over, it can start to feel unusable. Several YouTubers have complained that their frames were swinging in the high 330's, which is too high for this frame. I have one that swings at 340 with a dampener (which it needs), which messes with the usability of the frame. Even if you can manage that swingweight effectively (you can't), it's not about that, it's about there being too much mass-based power relative to the frame's ability to moderate itself. Having recently sourced an on-spec frame from TW Europe, I can say that at target specs it's brilliant and balanced. A heavy, slightly unwieldy swing with its huge beam, but a balanced one. I weight mine up under the grip to give the Ki10 a more head-light balance, which makes it even easier to swing. With a 331 swing weight I believe the static weight really should be closer to 315g, but I understand why they didn't go for that. Finally, getting back to that "agricultural" feel, well ... the good part is, the Ki10 feels quite soft on contact -- no one would guess it's 70 RA -- and your arm is certainly substantially protected from shock thanks to the tungsten sand. But buyers should demo the frame to ensure they're comfortable with the feel on contact. It's a very unique, springy and wiry sensation off-center that's kinda like smacking a wooden bat into the side of a battleship. At the very center of its big (but vaguely defined) sweetspot, it gives a wickedly solid THWAP but otherwise it's a raw, unrefined and unfiltered sound and feel. You get used to it, and it's even possible to come to appreciate it, but it's certainly a thing. Overall this is the best kind of frame -- one with strong skills, clear drawbacks, but more than anything else, a unique and endearing personality that adds an additional dimension to its ridiculous power. Hoping PK refines, rather than overhauls, this special legacy frame.

Great Player's StickI have solid technique, 1h-backhand, and I am no more very quick on the court. I used to play heavy racquets to date, like Volkl PB Mid, Head Prestige Tour, even a short span Wilson Pro Staff RF A (what a club). Changed to a Head Radical MP Tour, which is a really excellent stick with the precision I need for my 1-hander (18x20!). Never had problems with Tennis Elbow, imho the trick being never to get one in the first place, even using poly strings all my tennis "career" at lower tension with regular restringing. Wanted a stick with a bit more forgiving head. This one is just perfect. The weight is not a problem, it plays first class, and there is very low shock and no vibration. Feel is just right, very similar to 12 oz racquet. Highly recommended, when you want high performance and TE protection. What better than Babolat PD Tour. Might even do for a beginner if he/she has the will and endurance to improve.

Great all around racquetI have been using Ki Racquets for many years. I am 73 years old and get decent power and spin with this 16x19 racquet along with get arm protection (one handed backhand). It feels like a extension of my hand.

Power without painI had been playing with a Yonex Ezone 100 that spec-wise was great, but I started having real trouble with tennis elbow. I play a 1HBH (and the drums), and the elbow pain prevented me from both. I did everything possible technique and gear-wise including padding the grip and natural gut strings - even tried going to a 2HBH - no luck. Bought the K10 with NRG2 string (I don't have the swing speed for polyester) and the difference was immediate. With the beefy 331 swingweight, this is not the easiest racquet to swing by any stretch, and a whippy forehand has been elusive. But it's got some real plow-through on groundstrokes and it's rock-solid at net. Most importantly, the anti-vibration technology is the real deal. Four hours of play and not a twinge of discomfort, even after some really bad shanks. Will never go to another brand of racquet again.

ProKennex technology is a winner!I originally bought this racquet for two reasons: 1) I’ve had some elbow problems and read this technology was very arm-friendly; 2) I was looking to match the racquet's specs of my obsolescent Wilson Steam 99S. The racquet has helped my arm, and it has a good swing weight for me: 330 with even head light / head heavy balance. I string it pretty loosely 39/36 pounds with RPM Spin Max. It has good control, and I’m able to generate good topspin and well as slice, with decent maneuverability at the net. I’m still figuring out how to serve with it (much of that is me since I lost some leg drive after Achilles rupture repair surgery a few years back). The microsphere (sand technology) is fun as I can shake the racquet and hear the sand (not during play however). Importantly, the moving mass in the chambers of the racket has made me much more aware of accelerating the racquet head as opposed to a constant swing speed. This is actually the third racquet I’ve bought as I play tournaments and like having a couple of spares. I recommend the racquet for medium to relatively advanced players — I don’t think it’s a beginner’s racquet with that swingweight and good technique is important.

Definitely Worth a Look!45 year old athletic 3.5 player in Illinois - Current Pure Drive user. Demoed a couple times and this is a comfortable (multi strings in demo) power frame. However, I never felt disconnected from the ball and could lock in targets. Great stability, directional control and maneuverability as well. Not for everyone with the higher SW, but it becomes an advantage when exchanging heavy balls in my experience. It's rare for me to find good power, comfort, control (directional control while I find it best to control depth by other methods), feel, maneuverability, and stability in one package, and this stick has all of these for me. The downside for me is the sub 70 RA, but this may be right for others. Hope this helps and good luck!

Too Stiff PK needs to drop RA to 64-65After trying this racquet for a month with various soft polys at 48lbs I had my first ever TE and shoulder pain ever in 40 years which is shocking and unacceptable. Played as a junior with the Destiny v1 from PK they were soft and heavy but as time went by Babolat improved on the Destiny design by PK by offering a soft drive which until just recently was finally replaced with Babolat's latest Alcaraz weapon. Unfortunately for Pro Kennex Babolat finally again offers all that PK does not a soft modern Destiny frame that PK has not offered since their first Destiny range. If PK offered something around RA64 range I would consider trying it but for now loving the Carlitos endorsed Bazookas.

Super StrokerThis is my current racquet and I love it. I play an all-court game and find that this stick excels at the baseline and on serve. Don't get me wrong, it is very playable at the net as well but like other stiff racquets, it takes a bit more effort to pull off touch shots. The KI 10 is stable, maneuverable, has nice feel a poly like Luxilon 4G and is a super value. If this racquet had the name Babolat written on the side, I think you'd see a lot of pros using it.
