The Carlton Kinesis X90 was designed for advanced players who demand speed and power, thanks to the Kinesis vortex-shedding design, which reduces drag and improves head speed and maneuverability. It weighs 86 g, has head-heavy balance, a stiff shaft, 675 mm length and a Japanese HM carbon frame. The Optimetric head combines isometric and circometric geometry, and the Xtreme Tension Frame accepts tensions 11% higher.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
