Updated with a beautiful blue cosmetic, the Ki 15 (260g) is a great option for rising beginners and early intermediate players. Like the previous generation, it has a lightweight and forgiving 105 square inch head size, making it perfect for those who are learning the game. It's also a great option for the doubles player who wants a powerful serve and volley weapon. Featuring a 27.5 inch length, the Ki 15 (260g) will give you extra power on groundies, serves and overheads. As with previous generations this racquet gives you the benefit of Kinetic Technology, which deploys dynamic mass in the head to reduce the amount of shock that reaches your tendons and joints. Other arm-saving technologies include a Comfort Cap, which adds Kinetic technology to the butt cap to attenuate residual vibrations. The Ki 15 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 response when striking the ball. On groundstrokes the Ki 15 (260g) offers a comfortable and powerful hitting experience. There's also enough spin-potential to bring the ball down hard. At net, the generously sized head provides a very user-friendly hitting experience, with enough power to finish points with a bang. This racquet also shines on serve where the extended length translates into easier net clearance and massive power. Ultimately, the Ki 15 (260g) remains a seductive option for improving players who want an arm-friendly racquet with easy access to power.
