i like the jungke green colour but what the crap with xenon and krypton, we are talking rackets not lasers
and yonex names are oh-so-much-better? arcsaber? armortec? nanospeed? last batch of bk racquets i tried were impressive, definitely want to give the radon a try.
i wouldnt mind giving the radon a try actually sounds like it would be a racquet that i would use. hum now im going to go look into that. thanks for sharing.
The vortex are available right now, we have them in stock. So you can just go at a Black Knight dealer and place an order with him, if they do not have them in store yet. The suggested retail price is: KryptonXL: $300 CAD Xenon: $270 CAD Radon: $250 CAD Usually they sale for less than that in stores ($10 off, even more sometimes) If you have questions about our Knight to Remember demo nights, please feel free to contact me at: alex@blackknight.ca for more informations.
Alex, how would you compare the Xenon to the Nanofire? And what's those KtR Demo nights? would love some info!
Has anyone tried the Xenon and/or Radon and is willing to write a review??? I'm thinking of switching from my C2C shadow to one of these.
The Xenon is very similar in terms of balance to the Shadow, (both are headlight racquets) The Xenon has a more flexible shaft but not by alot, very similar. The main added benefits for switching to the Xenon would be the stronger head structure for increased stringing tension (up to 30 pounds) and torsion resistance for a better control. Radon is a heavier head heavy balance racquet with a stiff shaft. A racquet dedicated to hard hitters and with the same xTension frame and Power Matrix system as the Xenon. In regards to demo nights, like I mentionned before, those interested just need to send me an email and I will send them the infos about those it will be a pleasure!
Usually retail stores will shave off $15 to $20 from the suggested retail price. Some stores even more. I am sure someone will be able to find Kryptons at $270 pretty easily.
I agree. Although sometimes I wish they had the Radon with the Krypton's extra length. Would've made a mighty singles stick.
Sorry but those prices are kinda ridiculously expensive, even more than Yonex/Li Ning top range models, which are: 1. Have way more pros/players using 2. Have way steeper discounts
hey it's their pricing model who are we to teach the big corporations how to do their business... but seriously, if you want market penetration, it's all comes down to pricing things properly with the current perception/position of the company/brand, it's very difficult for players to justify the high price
