Feels good. Familiar. Solid with very little flex. I'm partial to Kennex though. But definately think you should hti with it.

always hit before you buy. Do you date before you get married? :) I am getting 2 of them in july when they ship as part of the sponsorship package.

but then I haven't hit them either so I guess I don't date before getting married. I've heard great things about them though. Plus the string pattern is very easy unlike the some racquets (igs) I string my own so it should cut the stringing time down a lot which = more time drinking beer and eating tacos :)

That's a personal preference, to each their own. Based on the stats of the Kinetic Quad it is the same, in terms of weight and balance point, as the LM that I play with currently. So, I'm not too concerned about adjusting when mine arrive.

well the stats is a lot different for me. the o3 red is head light and looking at the specs for the kinetic quad its head heavy. I live less then 60 miles away from PK headquarters so I hope I get mine faster then you guys :) haha and get some practice.

Btw how many people on this forum got the package this year????

Once you adjust to the head heavy feel, I think you'll really like it. Just don't let the balance point of the racquet change your swing or mechanics.

This is my first year being sponsored by PK and my first sponsorship deal ever. I'm very excited about PK and what they are currently doing in the sport. Jman is such a nice leader for the team and such a great ambassador. Then, you add Kane to the mix and the buzz will be around for quite a while.

I can't wait to get my gear and start playing with the new sticks. When I get some play testing done, I plan on writing a little review of my own with a comparison to the LM's that I have been playing with, just so folks familiar with Head and the LM series of equipment can have a good reference point.

Seems like PK's been busy this year... I'm considering signing on with them under their offer to all college students. I want to look into the company a little more before deciding, but I really appreciate their effort to improve college ball. Besides, they've got Jason Mannino, how bad could they be? :)

I hear you. I'm playing with some Wraptors from Hi-Tec and I just bought them in Jan, so I don't mind to keep playing with them, they have some life left.

Me too. I am sure the Kane 175g with gold and brown paint and a wood core will play light-years different than my 3 year old Core Shadow 180 or Core Shadow 170 even though the frame, string, wood and grip are identical.
