Updated with a sleek silver cosmetic for 2026, the Ki Q+5 Pro continues to be one of the most arm-friendly members of its class. Like the previous generation, it pairs a classic 22 mm beam with the controllable power of a 16x20 string pattern. It also boasts 330+ swingweight, giving it the kind of stability and plow-through that advanced players crave. What sets it apart is ProKennex's time-tested Kinetic Quadfocus Technology, which places movable mass in multiple locations around the head to provide greater protection against vibration, shock and torque. The movable mass also multiplies the power of your stroke, making it easier for you to overpower your opponent. In conjunction with the arm-saving Kinetic technology in the head, this racquet's butt cap features a Comfort Cap, which extends Kinetic technology to the handle for even greater protection against harsh vibrations. The Ki Q+ 5 Pro also features a firm SpiralTech Carbon layup, which removes impurities and air pockets from the graphite layers in order to provide extra strength and dampening. Ultimately, for the experienced player who wants dangerous levels of power and precision in an extremely arm-friendly package, this one is hard to beat.
