Pro Kennex is a graphite specialist with the head office in Taiwan, since its inception in 1978, has been dedicated to manufacturing technically innovative products for tennis, squash, badminton and racquetball. In 1980 Pro Kennex developed the first mid-size graphite tennis racket in the world, in 1983 the first graphite squash racket. The company had a long heritage of building sports equipment that creates a symbiotic connection between science, creativity and the human body. This leads to a certain differentiation in the market with high quality products in different concepts. An example of a unique technology is the Kinetic Technology.

• Because of the better dampening qualities they offer an outstanding comfort of playing. • As high frequency oscillations are in suspicion to be the origin of tennis injuries (e.g. of the tennis arm) it may be presumed that rackets with kinetic mass will have a positive effect.

COUNTER BALANCE TECHNOLOGY Pro Kennex has developed a unique Counter Balance technology which allows models to have different balance properties. By placing a kinetic mass in the end-cap the racket can be made head light or head heavy, to suit different types of player. The kinetic end-cap has advanced vibration and shock dampening properties.

Constructed from a winning 80%/ 20% combination of Spiral Tech Carbon and High Modulus Graphite the Wave Superlite is super manoeuvrable. It features a larger, slightly lighter head for controlled power and accuracy. An excellent choice for intermediate and advanced players.

In this model the Kinetic mass in the handle is used to create an even balance, maximising control whilst reducing vibration. The hot melt construction and exceptional shot dampening properties of this racket will put you in control.

The Destiny CB 20 II is a premium control squash racquet that has an arm-friendly feel. The head heavy balance of this racquet counters its lack of power and can deliver strong consistent length in the right hands.

Pro Kennex manufactures badminton rackets for everyone in the game, starting from beginners to international top-ranked professionals. Models differ in specifications on the player’s level of proficiency and playing intensity. We are established in our international quality products, competitive pricing and introduction of new technologies in improving the product value for money. Our badminton rackets incorporate the latest technologies, like the Nano Autocure Technology, to enable powerful shot-making, improved accuracy, excellent handgrip and reduced discomfort index to the player’s wrist, elbow and shoulders. Pro Kennex

As you swing the racket forward, micro bearings load to the back of 100 precision-engineered chambers integrated into the frame.

badminton technologies are unparalleled, protected, and patented.

As the racket impacts the ball, the loaded bearings explode forward to the front of the chamber and transferring the resulting kinetic energy into the ball.

For many years now, Pro Kennex offers, as the only manufacturer in the world, a racket with a technology that provides shock damping. This unique, patented Kinetic technology contributes to the prevention of arm injuries. When the ball hits the strings, kinetic energy makes sure that a great part of the shock is absorbed and that unwelcome vibrations in the frame are reduced. Less energy has to be invested by the squash player to gain the same results in impact pressure and precision.

After impact, a shock wave is released into the string bed from the ball and is immediately absorbed into the kinetic chambers which eliminates vibrations to the arm.

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TECHNOLOGY Kinetic rackets tested by the Sporthochschule Köln in Germany and the Sports Dynamics and Technology Laboratory at M.I.T. by Rudrapatna V. Ramnath, PhD Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Conclusion: • The tested rackets with kinetic mass had distinct better dampening effectiveness than equal rackets without kinetic mass.

To further increase stability, the Kinetic Pro features an ultra-stiff Octagonal head shape unique to the Kinetic range. With an ultra-stiff, high kick point tapered shaft this is ideal racket for the aggressive, attacking player.

Featuring the same Octagonal head shape for increased stability, the head and high kick point tapered shaft are stiff, but with a little more flex than the Pro, making the Speed the perfect racket for the all-round player.

The hexagonal head design allows to racket to cut through air like a sword. It increases aerodynamics and provides faster swing speed.

All five top of the range Pro Kennex squash racquets feature hot melt construction, using treated Spiral Tech Carbon and High Modulus Graphite, combined with pure Nano Epoxy resin. Removing air and impurities from between the carbon layers to create a totally seamless graphite increases stability and strength. The technology creates rackets with ultimate power, feel and control, offering exceptional dampening qualities and maximizing playability. Spiral Graphite: Exceptional dampening qualities maximize playability. High Modulus Graphite: Delivers the needed strength and power.

Conventional Graphite production

Nano Autocure The only autoclave process in the world that is used in racket sports technology. The Nano Autocure process removes air and impurities from between the graphite layers to create a totally seamless racket for strength and flexi-bility. 14

The Nano Microcarbon reinforced HC2 placed at the two sides in the top of the frame, combines the MOI acceleration principles and generates higher repulsion. This creates the uniqueness of the head weighted effect that puts 6% more speed into smashes. In addition, the HC2 system creates bigger sweet spot and pinpoint precision even in off center hits.

Spiral Tech Carbon production

Muscular Wave System This unique wave design in the frame creates a stronger frame that allows a higher string tension for the player to generate more power in the smash.

Power Groove System The unique concave power design with 40T high modulus carbon matrix has doubled the restitution force of traditional 24T graphite. This creates superior resiliency and converts the torsion into high repulsion power and stability.

Kevlar Joint A special Kevlar matrix material inserted in the T-joint reduces torque and twist in the racket and gives increased control. Allows more forgiveness on off-center shots.
