Queen 500 is an entry-level about 78 g racket in the Kawasaki Queen range with a head-heavy balance (302 mm) and a stiff-leaning shaft. Aimed at players who want to hit down hard and can swing it fast.
- Head-heavy balance puts extra weight behind smashes and clears
- Stiffer shaft gives a crisp, direct response on full swings
- Light frame cuts arm fatigue over long sessions
- Head-heavy and stiff, so it is tiring and unforgiving over a long session
- Max tension only 30 lb, which limits stringing choices
- Basic finish and fewer shaft/frame technologies than the pro lines
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £25.
