Why are they going with the wrap grip? The one thing that people always say to be about PK is that they love having a rubber grip stock.

I think the wrap grip will allow for an easier transition for players who are not accustomed to the typical PK grip. However, if a player does not like the wrap grip, he/she can replace it with the rubber grip.

It says they adopted a smaller hour glass, looks like a head racquet grip.

I hate rubber grips. I always had to cut the rubber grip off & put on the wrap grip. This will save me a step.

I had the chance to view this new model several weeks ago. It is one of the most impressive racquets I have seen from PK. The balance is incredible and I was very amazed by the new grip size. Pro Kennex is poised for a great season. I see a return to the glory years.

I agree with ocrb. This racquet is the best looking stick I've seen from PK in a long time. Really looking forward to seeing how it does this year. BTW, Kane is changing his colors to Black/Red this year just like the racquet.
