Dunlop Explosive Bite 16G Black Tennis String

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Excellent Durability: The 16G (1.30mm) gauge is the thickest available, providing long-lasting performance for heavy hitters and frequent players.

Best Suited For

1. 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.
2. Big Hitters: Players who have high swing speeds and need a durable, spin-friendly string to keep their power under control.
3. 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.
