Best prokennex for comfort, control and stability

[Balaji_R]

Request someone who has tested all these Prokennex racquets to compare the pros and cons of:
1. Ki 5 320 16 20
2. Redondo mp 18 20
3. Q+ tour pro 315 16 19
4. Q+ tour pro 325 18 20
I live outside US and cant demo them unfortunately. I am a strong intermediate level club player and a racquetholic.

I have the ki5 320 and the qtour 18x20 which is basically the same as q+tour pro. Qtour swings faster, ki5 has a bigger sweetspot and more power. Ki5 also has a longer handle for 2 hand backhand, qtour has a short handle. Qtour a bit more precise but I have no problem with control in ki5, especially since I use 16g poly in the mains. Both are great.

Thanks a lot. I hear from few that prokennex racquets break a lot more than other brands. Is that true?
Have you also tested Redondo mp and q+ tour pro 16 19 ?

The ones that had breakage problems were the pro 5g and 7g. I have not tested the redondo because I heard it's underpowered. I have not tested the q+tour pro 16x19 yet even though I was a holic too. Now I am concentrating on my 2 prokennex racquets because I feel I will improve faster if I stick with only those. I am not interested in holicing anymore, I am satisfied with the prokennexes. The yonex duel g is too demanding for singles as I am 58 years old and slowing physically so I use it for doubles sometimes. Not slowing mentally though.

Thanks for the feedback. You think Redondo, duel g are low powered, demanding respectively but not the q+ tour pro 18 20?

No, duel g is pretty powerful if you can swing it fast through the whole match, Redondo has a very low flex rating so it's low on power. Q+tour pro is not as demanding as the duel g 330 because of its weight distribution.
