Pro Kennex Smash Red Racket
X-Compare
Description
The Pro Kennex Smash Red, a soft and easy-to-play racket
The Smash is Pro Kennex's entry-level model: a teardrop shape, a graphite and fibreglass frame and a Soft EVA 16 core. Our measurements reveal its true profile: comfort among the highest we have recorded, very easy ball exit and excellent forgiveness. Red camo pattern.
Who is this racket for?
Beginners and intermediate players who want a soft racket that sends the ball without effort and forgives off-centre hits. Unlike Pro Kennex's description of it as light and manoeuvrable, our X-Compare measurements show mass placed towards the head and high inertia: it is stable rather than lively. Moderate control, limited spin: ease of hitting comes first.
The technologies explained
- Soft EVA 16 and soft face: a very gentle feel and very easy ball exit.
- Graphite and fibreglass frame: three layers, plus a carbon layer to protect the frame.
- Teardrop shape (74 in²): a large, forgiving sweet spot.
- Smooth face: little grip for spin.
- 38 mm profile and free racket cover.
The Extreme Tennis team's verdict
The Smash is the most comfortable racket in this Pro Kennex range and a great affordable entry point. For more precision and manoeuvrability, step up to the Turbo and Turbo Speed, which are much stronger on control. The Smash is also available in grey.
