If you have tennis elbow, you might want to look at the PK5G instead.

The Q5 is a bit too stiff IMHO (at least the Q5 Tour I tried is)...they're trying to make it more like Babolats so the PK5G's...

If the Ki5 still bothers you, put on gut for string at lower than mid tension. And try a PK5G if the Ki5 is too stiff (I found the Ki5 to bother my wrist tendonitis more than the PK5G)...

I'm a 3-3.5 depending on the day. The PK5G and Redondo MP work fine for me.

Bad if you think PK frames are always good for your arm/elbow.
Good if you want more pop/stiffness in your racquet.

FWIW, I thought the BA98 (the old one, not the new 2012) ping'd more than my Redondo MP...some might call it "crisper" as a result, but I hated it. I was hoping it'd help out on serves more.

I'd echo what Ramon said about the 7G. It does have more power than the Ki5 (and better serves IIRC), but it was also harsher on the arm because of the extra torque. I tried it way back when I was...
