Dunlop tennis racquets have a long and proud history in the world of tennis, having produced their first tennis racquet in 1917. With past champions such as John McEnroe and Steffi Graf in earlier years and current players such as James Blake and Tommy Robredo using Dunlop tennis racquets, a tradition of top quality tennis has continued.
TECHNOLOGIES:
AEROGEL 4D: four directional braided material is used at key points on the racquet frame to significantly increase racquet stability - at 5 and 7 o'clock to minimise frame torsion and increase control and at 3 and 9 o'clock for increased stability and enhanced touch and feel
AEROBRIDGE: Dunlop’s new Aerobridge system is an injection molded polymer
sleeve that encloses the bridge of the racket and incorporates a
specially engineered mix of braided carbon fibers combined with Dunlop
Aerogel technology.
This polymer helps soften the frame in the area of the main strings
that make up the sweetspot of the racket, helping to dampen string
vibration to enhance touch and feel.
AEROGEL: Dunlop AEROGEL racquets incorporate the world’s lightest solid,
which has a strength of up to 4,000 times its own weight. The
three-dimensional nanometer-sized molecular network delivers an
unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased
power.
Dunlop’s AEROGEL technology delivers enhanced stiffness and
increased power without increasing weight. This combined with M-FIL
across the hitting zone to ‘soften’ ball impact means that AEROGEL
frames deliver the perfect balance between power and control.
M-FIL (Multi Filament): a combination of three materials that are
incorporated into the hitting zone of the racquet head to enhance the
touch and feel of the racket where and when you need it most - at the
moment of ball contact.
The 3D braided structure at these key points enhances torsional
stability at ball contact while frame deformation is similarly reduced
and this helps to enhance dwell time on ball impact.
VIBROCORE: dramatically reduces frame vibration after ball impact. The
racquet is actually cut in half and then re-constructed using two
additional pieces. A sleeve portion is made from a thermal-plastic
resin system while the round core material is made of silicon rubber.
These combine to produce an unrivalled vibration damping effect. At
ball impact shock waves are absorbed in the shaft of the racket into
the silicon rubber core and are therefore not allowed to travel down
the handle. This significantly reduces the risk of tennis elbow and
provides exceptional comfort. The sleeve portion also provides a
‘hinge’ effect which helps to provide exceptional rebound power while
allowing for the ultimate in player comfort.
