    I am using the Pro Kennex Dynamic 800, pretty good and light racket for the price point. But quality is not as good my Yonex or SOTX rackets.;)

    What do you mean by quality? The paint? The performance? Or, something else???

    I am using the C700, and have to say the performance vs. price ratio is just as good as my cab30ms purchases. The D800 is a gift for a friend, can't comment too much. However, I did use it for like 2 games, and the overall performance is not bad, consider myself is never an ISO fan. ;)

    Yes, the paint in particlar, is not very durable. Also I have noticed a rattle noise near the grip.

    But it does perform very well and I like the colour and design too.

    well guys bought 2 pro kennex rackets and a nine racket holdel for like £40 thats all brand new baby :p :D

    so anyways i bought the "Ti Destiny 747 " two of them and well imo they are great some great control and power i have the added unfortunate of moving from a prince Y frame so its strange going back for me but seriouslly this thing is amazing it out performs imo alot of yonex rackets and is head heavy for pure power

    The 787 is a great racquet!! You can't find them anymore. My friend that I play with has 3 of them and he wants to buy mine also. Mine looks new.

    I've never used ProKennex racquets. But I've seen some team players in China use them. Their design is pretty nice I must admit.

    I am using the pro kennex tri-flex 666, its the weapon of choice. I like the way it plays and have been using it quite a while now. It is still strung on its original tetra 66 string and only now is it starting to widen after some smashes.

    I am playing about 3/4 times a week so it has been a good warrior. I have a few paint chips but would more put that down to me.

    Recently decided to get some better spare rackets just incase the inevitable happened, i would have chosen the ProKennex Nano HC2 9000 Badminton Racket (2009 model).

    But considering i am not wanting to replace my racket just carry some spares i opted for a couple of cheaper rackets from a different manufacturer.
    I will be sticking with pro kennex although they are hard to find in the uk, delivery is only a shipment away.

    Lagigolo should be using the same model pro kennex model tri-flex nac 6666 as me and i myself also own/ use pro kennex tri-flex 6000. The ProKennex Nano HC2 9000 series is good:D
    But if you have used to 6666; u may not like 9000 as if u were to get a 3U HC2 9000 racket, u will find it very heavy compared to 6000 series. I myself not used to whip 9000:) I m used to 6000 series. 6000 series are still available and should have no problem getting them.
    Once used to Pro Kennex ,we may not like other brands; it is just like for those who like yonex, they may not like other brands or clones:D
    I personally think, no one racket company make a racket same feel with another brand but only close to. Even clones are only close to.:)
    I like Pro kennex because it is light for me and easy for me to whip the racket with little effort:D Almost all other brands all quite heavy for me.
    DO correct me if i m wrong.:)

    are they still even in business ?

    In Hong Kong, its very hard to find them now. I don't think Canada carries them anymore. A few places still have them in the USA.
