What players say
The Ki Q+5 (300g) is the lightest step in ProKennex's Kinetic Q+5 line and reviewers single it out for punching above its weight: plenty of plow-through and stability from the baseline with a flatter, drivey feel similar to a Pure Drive-type frame. The Kinetic system keeps it noticeably arm-friendly despite a fairly stiff (65 RA) build, though a couple of reviewers found it less suited to one-handed backhands and not the spiniest option out there.
Best for
- Aggressive, flatter-swinging baseliners
- Players wanting arm protection without a soft/muted feel
- Two-handed backhand players
- Those comparing it to Pure Drive-style frames
Pros
- Strong plow-through and stability for a 300g frame
- Comfortable and arm-friendly despite a stiff (65 RA) rating, credited to the Kinetic system
- Good control and precision for driving the ball, especially on forehands and returns
- Solid, connected feel at net with enough pop to finish points
Cons
- Felt sluggish for at least one reviewer on the one-handed backhand
- Not considered especially spin-friendly compared to modern players' frames
- Limited independent review coverage of this exact 300g version versus the Pro/X variants
