Dunlop Explosive Bite 17G Black Tennis String

The Dunlop Explosive Bite 17G in black is a high-performance co-polyester string designed for maximum spin potential and "grip" on the ball. The 17G (1.25mm) version is thinner than the 16G, making it more responsive and offering a slightly softer, more elastic feel while maintaining its aggressive hexagonal shape.

Performance Profile

1. Massive Spin: The string features a hexagonal (6-sided) profile. These sharp edges physically "bite" into the ball's felt, allowing you to generate incredible topspin and sharp, dipping slices.
2. Enhanced Feel & Touch: Because it is a thinner 17G gauge, it provides a more connected sensation to the ball than the 16G version. This is particularly beneficial for touch shots and volleys.
3. Improved Comfort: The thinner construction allows the stringbed to deflect more upon impact, which dampens harsh vibrations and makes it more arm-friendly than thicker, stiffer polyesters.
4. Stealthy Aesthetic: The black color provides a clean, professional look that coordinates well with any racquet frame.

Best Suited For

1. Spin-Heavy Players: Ideal for those who take big, fast swings and want the ball to "dive" inside the lines with heavy topspin.
2. Advancing Juniors & Amateurs: Players who want the benefits of a shaped "bite" string but need a slightly more forgiving and powerful gauge than the 16G.
3. Players in Dense String Patterns: The 17G gauge is perfect for 18x20 racquets, as it helps increase the launch angle and power that can sometimes feel "choked" with thicker strings.
