THE ONLY SHOCK ABSORBING TECHNOLOGY IN THE WORLD!

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 IMPROVEMENT effectiveness than equal rackets without kinetic mass. VS STANDARD NON 50% KINETIC RACKETS • Because of the better dampening qualities they offer an outstanding IMPROVEMENT 43% comfort of playing. IMPROVEMENT

• 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. 20% IMPROVEMENT 15% • The better dampening effect of Kinetic rackets can be considered IMPROVEMENT the reason for better stability at decentral points of impact.

• On account of the basic physical qualities, the Kinetic technology can be considered as a “raw diamond“ in racket production.

2 HOW IT WORKS

As you swing the racket forward, As the racket impacts the ball, After impact, a shock wave is released

The unique, patented Kinetic technology of

Pro Kennex is housed in four chambers on four

key balance positions of the frame. Because of

these strategic positions, the ball is surrounded

by Kinetic mass during ball contact.

This means improved shock absorption and a

reduction in torsional rotation.
