Badminton racket Kawasaki KING K9 II

The Kawasaki KING K9 II is an all-round, Professional-class racket (5 stars) — for players who want one racket for everything: powerful attack, solid defence and fast play.

The Kawasaki KING K9 II sits at the top 5-star tier of the KING series, designed for players looking for a complete, all-round racket with no compromises. Its neutral balance combines the strengths of attacking and speed rackets, so the KING K9 II is equally at home in a powerful smash, a lightning-fast net exchange or in defence. It's aimed at ambitious, advanced and competitive players who expect Professional-class equipment and versatility in every part of their game. The racket comes in a striking Purple Gold colourway.

The KING K9 II's all-round character comes from its near-neutral balance with a 298 mm balance point. This weight distribution is the sweet spot: a head heavy enough to generate power on finishing shots, yet maneuverable enough to keep up with fast rallies and defend with confidence. It's a racket that doesn't force you to choose between power and speed.

Performance comes from a 30+40T high-modulus graphite frame combined with a 46T high-modulus graphite shaft with a stiff profile. The stiff shaft means precision and an immediate, controlled energy transfer — it rewards good technique and lets you place shots accurately. Together with the multi-material frame, this delivers head stability at contact and tournament-level shot consistency.

The KING K9 II excels in an all-round style of play — an equally strong choice for singles and doubles. It's a racket for the player who builds an edge through completeness: attack, control and speed in one.
