Description of the Racquet

The Kinetic Quad 500 is the sequel to the Kinetic Quad 170 from last year and brand new for 2009-2010. This year they dropped it 5 grams for maximum power and since it's a very stiff racquet, there's plenty of control to match the power.. This racquet is designed for the younger player or the player with a very fast swing speed.

If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO Program.

These are available in 3 5/8 and 3 7/8 grip sizes

RacquetWorld's General Notes

I would recommend changing the grip to a Python (Our favorite), or Head TackiMac  for the added traction to prevent slippage.  The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($1) can save you $$ in the long run as sometimes strings break from the grommet being worn down.  For those who don't know what the grommet is, it's the plastic piece at the top of the racquet that the strings go through.  When you hit the wall and floor this gets worn down.

The Prince Premier string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Prince Premier string we suggest.  At the time of purchase, the Prince Premier restring upgrade is $21.95.  It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away.

If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Ektelon Silencer (Our favorite), Head Hydrosorb, Gamma Worm or the BBB (Big Bad Band).

The wristlacer black is the default wrist tether that comes on your racquet at no charge.  If you want to change colors, a small fee of $2.95 will be added for switching.

A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?"  It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet.  Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper.  For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!

We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

Technology - Manufacturers Features:

RacquetWorld Racquetball Racquet Technology Section - Technology/Ratings Section

• String Suspension Technology (SST)
• Kinetic Technology
• Modulus Graphite
• Long Frame Technology

Kinetic Technology...

It's all about kinetic energy. As you swing the Kinetic racquet foward, tiny elements of kinetic mass, housed in dozen of of chambers around the racquet head, are storing energy. When the ball hits the strings, the strings flex and the ball compresses. The ball speed drops to zero. The ball and string are now loaded with energy. Finally the racquet frame flexes backward as your swing continues. Going with the flow, the ball assumes the racquets's forward speed. Forces are now in place to set off a scientifically calculated Kinetic reaction. The ball and strings now start releasing their stored energy causing the ball to go faster than the racquet. At this moment, the energy release from the ball and strings triggers the kinetic mass. It explodes forward in all chambers. This activated mass joins with the mass of the racquet to increase the area of efficiency of the hitting surface and magnify the possibilities of a good shot.

String Suspension Technology

Single tube frame construction transitions into a solid head providing extreme power.

Long Frame Technology...

1" (22" total) longer to increase the hitting leverage of the racquet for faster head speed and increased power.

Exclusive RacquetWorld Racquet Ratings

Ratings and comparisons for all racquets can be found in Racquetworld's Technology/Ratings Section

Racquetworld's Durability Rating:  91.00

Racquetworld's Power Rating: Age 24-  95.00   Age 35  94.00   Age 45+  93.00

Racquetworld's Control Rating #1 (Front Court):  97.00

Control 1 (Front Court) represents how the racquet handles upfront in the court. We’re basically looking at how certain components stacked together produce good (or bad) racquet maneuverability. To figure this out we look at the weight, balance point, and shape of the frame. We throw all this info into Pat’s brain along with a couple hours of hit testing and out pops the rating. This value is useful especially for doubles players who find themselves covering the upfront court a lot. It’s also good to know if you’re a good server and find yourself quickly putting away returns off your serve without leaving front middle court.

Racquetworld's Control Rating #2 (Back Court):  95.50

Control 2 (Back Court) represents the traditional control rating when taking a full shot from mid to back court. Our goal with control is to redirect the Force of the ball. We again focus on weight, balance point, shape, string pattern and tension, frame stiffness and on court experience.

Racquetworld's Overall Rating: Age 24-  95.10   Age 35  94.60   Age 45+  94.10
