ProKennex serves up the perfect entry point into the ultra arm-friendly world of Kinetic technology
ProKennex adds another chapter to the lightest member of the Black Ace family. Featuring the legendary engineering of one of the game's most experienced racquet manufacturers, the Black Ace 285 is ideal for the intermediate player who wants spin-friendly targeting and outstanding feel. As with the previous generation, this racquet packs an ultra-flexible RA stiffness, making it one of the most arm-friendly members of its class. For 2025, the layup gets updated with a groundbreaking Aurealian carbon weave, resulting in a more consistent response while also enabling tighter manufacturing tolerances. Complementing this innovation is FlexLogic, allowing the racquet to bend in ways that enhance dwell time, pocketing, and feel. This racquet also benefits from ProKennex's legendary Kinetic System, which places movable mass at 3 and 9 o'clock in the head to boost stability and comfort. This racquet also features a Kinetic Comfort Cap, a handle technology that minimizes harsh impact vibrations. These time-tested Kinetic technologies offer one of the most arm-friendly hitting experiences available. Ultimately, with its outstanding control and feel, the Black Ace 285 is an obvious choice for the improving intermediate player who wants to hit a more accurate ball.
