The Dunlop Black Widow 18G is the ultra-thin, high-performance variant of Dunlop’s famous heptagonal co-polyester. Designed for the ultimate spin enthusiast, the 18-gauge (1.20 mm) profile maximizes ball pocketing and "bite," offering a sharper, more aggressive response than the thicker versions.

Performance Profile

  1. Maximized Spin Potential: The signature seven-sided (heptagonal) shape is most effective in this thin 18G format. The thinner edges provide deeper penetration into the ball's felt, resulting in massive topspin and kick on serves.
  2. Enhanced Feel and "Pop": Because the string is thinner, it is more elastic and responsive. This provides a livelier feel off the string bed and better feedback for touch shots and volleys compared to 16G or 17G polyesters.
  3. Exceptional Ball Pocketing: The 18G gauge allows the string bed to deflect more upon impact, "wrapping" around the ball momentarily to provide a higher degree of control over the launch angle.
  4. Softer Response: Known as one of the most comfortable polyesters, the thin 18G construction further reduces the stiffness associated with monofilament strings, providing a plush hitting experience that is easier on the tendons.

Best Suited For

  1. Spin Specialists: Players whose entire game revolves around heavy, high-arcing topspin and extreme "dip" on passing shots.
  2. Touch Players: Competitive players who want the control of a polyester but miss the "connected" feel and responsiveness of thinner strings.
  3. Lighter Racquet Users: Because thin strings are lighter, they can help maintain a faster swing speed for players using racquets with lower swing weights.
  4. Non-String Breakers: Ideal for technical players who don't frequently break 17G strings and want to trade a bit of durability for a significant boost in performance and feel.
