Dunlop FX 500 Tour 2026 (305g) racket

Dunlop FX 500 Tour (2026): Surgical Power

The Dunlop FX 500 Tour 2026 is the most technical and precise version of Dunlop's renowned power range. It has been designed for the competitor who hits hard but needs absolute control over their trajectories. By switching to a smaller head size and a thinner profile, it offers a significantly higher level of control and feel at impact, allowing you to aim for the lines with total confidence.

With its 305g weight and a balance of 315mm, this frame provides massive stability. It does not flinch in the face of the heaviest opponent strikes and allows you to counter with great assurance. This solidity gives you the ideal platform to unleash your power. It is the perfect weapon for the baseline attacker who wants to combine a heavy ball, pronounced lift, and maximum control.

For What Type of Player?

This racket is aimed at the tennis player of intermediate to expert level, who has good arm speed and is looking for a powerful yet precise frame. It is ideal for the baseline attacker (or aggressive all-court player) who wants to combine power, lift, and control.

Key Technologies

• Power Wave: The new design of the grommets. The ""wave"" design of the grommet strip allows the strings to stretch and move with more freedom. This increased movement maximizes the trampoline effect, generating explosive power and a larger sweet spot.
• Power Boost + Groove: In synergy with the Power Wave, this technology features a precision groove carved into the frame, under the grommets. It allows for greater frame deformation at impact, further amplifying power and comfort of the hit.
• Vibroshield: The major innovation for comfort. A high-absorption elastic material is integrated directly into the heart (the bridge) of the racket. It targets and neutralizes harmful vibrations at the source, providing an exceptionally pure hitting sensation.
• Sonic Core Tech: Complementing the Vibroshield, this high-reactivity polyurethane material (Infinergy® from BASF) is placed at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the racket head. It reduces shocks, improves energy return, and increases the stability of the frame against twisting.
• Power Grid: An optimized string pattern geometry (16x19). The strings are spaced further apart towards the top of the head (where modern players hit), which widens the ideal hitting area and improves ball grip for maximum spin.
