Independent testing conducted by Dr. Rudrapatna V. Ramnath, at the Massachusetts institute of Technology confirms that the proprietary ProKennex Kinetic System Technology offers unparalleled performance including 43% vibration reduction, 20% shock reduction and 15% larger power zone.

After several years of study and analysis, ProKennex has improved the performance of its patented Kinetic system.

“The Kinetic System is a unique approach in racquet design and a significant jump in technology because it reduces shock and vibration at the source,” says Dr. Rudrapatna Ramnath, a professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and director of its Sports Dynamics and Technology Lab. Dr. Ramnath tested the Kinetic and found that it reduced shock travelling up the arm by 20% and decreased vibration by 43%. It also enlarged the power zone by 12 to 15%, and elevated it about three quarters of an inch.

“By enlarging the power zone, the Kinetic system makes the racquet more forgiving, which is very useful to the average recreational player,” says Dr. Ramnath, who has been a technical advisor to the ATP tour. “At the same time, the moving kinetic bearings raise the power zone without permanently increasing the moment of inertia.”

This is beneficial to skilled players who can generate great power through faster swings and the larger, raised power zone.

Kinetic racquets are designed to provide the benefits of unsurpassed comfort & shock dampening and are the only racquets to provide a secondary energy source.

Of all the benefits of the kinetic system, clearly the greatest gift to tennis is its unique and proven ability to eliminate shock. Since “initial” shock is commonly believed to be the cause of Lateral Epicondylitis (commonly known as tennis elbow) - racquets with the Kinetic System have become the weapon of choice for any player suffering from this malady.
