Dunlop Explosive Bite Yellow 16G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Explosive Bite 16G in Yellow is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament engineered for players who demand the ultimate level of ball "grip." This 16-gauge version is the thickest and most durable in the Explosive Bite family, making it the premier choice for heavy hitters who break strings frequently but refuse to compromise on spin.

Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel is the most cost-effective option for competitive players and coaches, providing enough material for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings.

Performance Profile

1. Triangular Ball Bite: The hallmark of the "Bite" series is its unique 3-sided (triangular) profile. These sharp, aggressive edges are designed to dig deep into the felt of the ball, providing superior friction for massive topspin and heavy, diving slices.
2. Maximum Durability: The 1.32mm (16G) diameter offers a robust cross-section. This added mass makes it highly resistant to "notching" and the shearing forces generated by aggressive baseline play, ensuring a long-lasting stringbed.
3. Low-Powered Precision: As a firm co-poly, it provides a "dead" response that is highly predictable. This allows players with very fast swing speeds to swing at 100% power while keeping the ball well within the lines.
4. Optimal Snap-Back: The specialized monofilament material allows the strings to slide and snap back into position with extreme efficiency, which is the mechanical engine behind the heavy, "kick" heavy shots this string produces.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Baseliners: Players who prioritize heavy topspin to push their opponents deep and dictate the tempo of the rally.
2. Frequent String Breakers: If you find yourself snapping 17G or 18G polyesters quickly, the 16G construction provides the necessary longevity for high-intensity play.
3. Open String Patterns: An excellent choice for racquets with open patterns (e.g., 16x18 or 16x19), where increased string movement typically leads to faster wear.
4. Hybrid Main String: A popular bulk choice for the mains to provide the control and spin, often paired with a softer synthetic gut in the crosses for a more forgiving feel.
