Pro Kennex Turbo Speed Racket

The Pro Kennex Turbo Speed, a lighter Turbo for an all-round game

Pro Kennex's Turbo range is built on ease of play: a round shape, a large head and an immediate feel. The Turbo Speed uses this base at 355 g. In the lab it is the most versatile model in the range: high control, good manoeuvrability and comfort, reassuring forgiveness, and no marked weakness apart from spin.

Who is this racket for?

Beginners and intermediate players who want an easy-handling, comfortable racket. Pro Kennex announces a fairly neutral balance; our X-Compare measurements actually place it towards the head, offset by its modest weight. Power and ball exit remain moderate: you need to follow through, which suits a placement-based game.

The technologies explained

• Spiral Tech Carbon: three layers combining Spiral Tech graphite, high-modulus graphite and Nano Epoxy resin, for a stable frame that supports control.
• Soft EVA 16: a soft core for a gentle feel and pleasant comfort.
• Large head (77 in²): a generous surface that makes contact easier.
• Smooth face and variable hole diameters: the brand highlights the hole layout for spin, but with a smooth surface, measured spin remains limited.
• 38 mm profile and free racket cover.

The Extreme Tennis team's verdict

The Turbo Speed is an excellent compromise for improving players: manoeuvrable, comfortable and precise. For even more control and a little more power, the 365 g Turbo steps up on both. For maximum comfort and easy ball exit, look at the Pro Kennex Smash.
