    Around 2018-2020, Pro Kennex had a racket called the "Extreme Speed". Not to be confused with the "Kinetic Extreme Speed"; that's a different series. I managed to pick one up roughly three years ago and it has definitely become my go-to. It's mildly head-light and extra stiff. I have since scoured the internet looking for more. And it appears this model isn't produced any longer. I've also written Pro Kennex several times to no answer.

    I managed to find one more from the original seller (based in Southern California), and found two more from Taiwan. I've cleaned them out of their stock. But I can't help but think there's a few sitting in a shop somewhere.

    I know this is a quirky and obscure request. But it's rare to find a racket that I click with. If I manage to get my hands on a couple more, I'm set for life. So if you come across this model, please inform me where and how to contact them.

    thanks,

    Congrats on being able to find a few more of the racket. It’s not often that one finds a racket that ‘clicks’ with you…like an extension of yourself. I’ve a few ProKennex myself but these are somewhat vintage models from the mid to late 80s. They’re part of my vintage collection.

    That's exactly right. I've tried a boatload of rackets, and none gives the level of feel, while being pretty decent all-round. It's a shame ProKennex isn't as big in the game in recent years. But I suppose whatever rackets we find as "the one", they always go out of production and get replaced by a newer model, regardless of manufacturer. I would still love to get my hands on another couple as backups if I can.
