The Dunlop Explosive Bite 16G in black is a premium co-polyester string specifically engineered for players who want to dominate with heavy spin and a stealthy, aggressive look. It is functionally the same as the yellow version but in a classic black finish that pairs well with almost any racquet cosmetic.
Performance Profile
- Extreme Grip: The string features a hexagonal (3-sided) profile with sharp edges. These edges physically "bite" into the ball at contact, allowing for massive rotation and a higher launch angle.
- Controlled Power: While it is a "bite" string, the 16G thickness provides a very stable and firm response. You can swing out fully without fear of the ball sailing long, as the spin helps pull the ball down into the court.
- Firm Feel: The black version often provides a slightly "crisper" or firmer feel than the yellow version due to the pigments used in the manufacturing process, offering very direct feedback.
- Excellent Durability: The 16G (1.30mm) gauge is the thickest available, providing long-lasting performance for heavy hitters and frequent players.
Best Suited For
- Topspin Driven Players: Ideal for those who hit with a "windshield wiper" swing style and need the string to help generate maximum dip and kick.
- Big Hitters: Players who have high swing speeds and need a durable, spin-friendly string to keep their power under control.
- Hybrid Main String: Excellent when used in the mains with a smooth cross string to create a "slippery" surface that maximizes the snap-back of the sharp edges.
