Dunlop FX 500 LS 2023

The FX 500 LS is suitable for a wide range of players from beginners, rising intermediates to experienced club players who prioritize lightweight performance.

The 100-square-inch head size suits most players, offering a balanced mix of control and power, while the open string pattern enhances spin and power generation. Weighing 10.1 ounces, the racquet provides excellent manoeuvrability while maintaining enough stability for powerful, deep shots from the baseline. Its head-light balance supports versatile all-court play, enabling quick swings for easier spin and rapid adjustments. The beam thickness varies along the frame providing optimized power and comfort characteristics.

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 LS 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.
