Dunlop FX 500 Tour (2026)
Intermediate to advanced
The Dunlop FX 500 Tour (2026) is a 98 in² tennis racket weighing 305 g (10.8 oz) unstrung, with a 16x19 string pattern. Power is its strong point: the ball leaves fast and deep without you having to swing harder. That open pattern lets the strings bite into the ball more.
It is aimed at intermediate to advanced players (roughly UTR 6–8).
