Dunlop presents the new FX Power series – engineered for maximum power. The FX 500 is the official racket of the ATP Tour and Jack Draper's new weapon. From November 9th, all eyes will be on the FX series when it officially launches. These striking rackets, featuring purple, black, and blue accents, not only make a visual statement on the court but also deliver crucial power thanks to their technologically advanced features.
The series includes five premium rackets as well as nine models for the junior and mid-price range.
Matching racket bags and backpacks are also available.
The new FX series complements Dunlop's premium racket range – consisting of FX (FORCE), CX (CONTROL), SX (SPIN) and LX (LITE) – thus offering the technically suitable racket for every playing style and skill level. Tennis should inspire, improve the game and naturally promote health and enjoyment of life.
The new frame geometry consists of an adjustment to the carbon construction and additional reinforcement of the frame height and width from the 3 and 9 o'clock positions to the throat. The increased stiffness of the clubface generates higher ball speed, while the reduced frame stiffness – achieved through the modified carbon construction – allows for a softer feel.
The new Power Wave Grommets technology increases tension across the eight central main strings and improves string bed stiffness in the sweet spot area. This results in more consistent power and better energy transfer with every shot. Even force distribution across the entire racket creates a larger sweet spot. To help players unlock the full potential of this innovation, the FX series comes with a dedicated stringing guide.
A precisely machined groove in the frame allows for greater flex in the frame and strings upon ball contact. This deeper groove enlarges the sweet spot and delivers more power. It also improves ball control and feel.
Positioned at the 2 and 10 o'clock positions on the racket frame, Infinergy® – the world's first E-TPU (expanded thermoplastic polyurethane), developed by BASF – helps reduce vibrations upon ball contact. This advanced material technology provides a more comfortable playing experience, reduces the risk of injury, and improves the overall feel of the racket.
Strategically placed vibration-damping materials at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions on the frame – as well as in the handle – provide a smoother, more comfortable feel upon ball contact. This technology improves feedback and control for the player. On the FX 500 SUPER LITE, VIBROSHIELD is positioned only in the handle.
A revised string bed design with increased spacing between the cross strings, especially in the central striking area. This optimized pattern increases both spin potential and power, giving players more performance exactly where it matters most.
