Dunlop FX 500 Lite 2023

The FX 500 Lite is suitable to beginner and intermediate players who need a lighter racquet for easy access to power and spin with a standard headsize for uncompromised control potential.

The 100-square-inch head size is ideal for most players, offering a balanced combination of control and power. The open string pattern enhances spin and power generation with ease. At 9.5 ounces, this is a lighter frame, making it exceptionally easy to swing. Its head-light balance supports versatile all-court play, enabling quicker swings for effortless spin, rapid volleys, and swift reactions.

Enhancing the above physical characteristics of the frame are the core technologies Dunlop has implemented into the materials that make up the racquet. With the 2023 edition, Dunlop has enhanced the flexibility of the frame thereby providing a more forgiving and comfortable feel. Dunlop has also adjusted the grommet system to enhance the power characteristics to increase overall energy return across the string bed. This combination of updates should also balance out the slight power reduction from the additional flexibility of the frame. For enhanced comfort, Dunlop has maintained their Sonic Core technology strategically located at the 2 and 10'oclock areas of the racquet's hoop for reducing unwanted shock at impact when hitting in the upper area outside of the sweetspot. Additionally, Power Grid String Tech optimizes the string layout for a larger than usual sweet spot with enhanced spin potential.

Combined with the core technologies, the FX 500 Lite brings great spin potential with forgiving feel and explosive power for an all-around attacking game. With the 2023 updates, previous generation players will appreciate the additional comfort found during impact while maintaining its overall swing feel.
