Overview
Introducing the Dunlop Force 500 Tour! This racket is ideal for the experienced player who values speed but also wants a little extra stability. At just over 320 grams strung, this is the heaviest member of the Force line. In addition to providing a solid feel against higher levels pace, the Force 500 Tour whips around fast. As a result, experienced players should be able to hit a very powerful, spin loaded ball with this racket. To help soften ball impact the 500 Tour comes with SRX Shock Reduction technology in the handle. It also has Parallel Drilling in the head to enhance comfort and power. To increase stroke speed, Dunlop gives this racket an AeroProfile beam, allowing it to cut through the air faster. To enhance vibration dampening and increase power, this racket has an AeroBoost seamless grommet system. From the baseline, the Force 500 Tour doesn't get pushed around by your opponent's pace. Full swings deliver big power, and the open 16x19 string pattern provides the needed bite for adding heavy spin. At net, this racket feels stable, and it delivers easy depth on block volleys. Aggressive servers who can get this stick moving fast will find enough power to put their opponent squarely on defense. This racket also performs great on service returns, where it has enough mass for blocking and counter-punching big first serves. Offering and impressive combination of speed and stability, this is a great option for strong intermediates and advanced level players.
Additional technologies include a Glide Polymer on the grommets to optimize string movement for enhanced power; HyperFlare on the butt cap for greater leverage, along with a surface texture called AeroSkin CX, which was inspired by shark skin to cut down on wind drag and boost stroke speed.
