Dunlop Explosive Bite Yellow 17G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Explosive Bite 17G in Yellow is a premium co-polyester monofilament designed for players who want the absolute maximum amount of "grip" and "bite" on the ball. This 17-gauge version is thinner than the 16G, offering a more responsive feel and increased snap-back for even higher spin potential.

Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel is the most economical choice for competitive players and frequent stringers, providing enough material for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings.

Performance Profile

1. Triangular Ball Bite: The "Bite" series features a unique 3-sided (triangular) profile. These sharp edges are designed to dig into the ball's felt more aggressively than round or even hexagonal strings, producing extreme topspin and heavy, dipping slices.
2. Thinner Gauge Response: The 1.28mm (17G) diameter allows the string to pocket the ball more deeply than a 16G. This results in a slightly softer feel at impact and a more "lively" energy return, helping you generate depth with less effort.
3. Elite Snap-Back: The smooth, high-quality co-poly material allows the strings to slide against each other and snap back into place rapidly. This mechanical movement is the key to creating the "heavy" ball that pushes opponents back.
4. Surgical Control: Despite being more responsive than the 16G, it remains a firm, low-powered string. It provides the predictable launch angle and "dead" response that advanced players need to swing at 100% power while keeping the ball in play.

Best Suited For

1. Spin-Oriented Competitors: Players whose game revolves around high-arcing topspin and aggressive, biting slices.
2. Modern Offensive Baseliners: Those with fast swing speeds who want a string that rewards their aggression with massive "dip" and control.
3. Dense String Patterns: An excellent choice for racquets with closed patterns (like 18x20), where the thinner 17G gauge helps "open up" the stringbed for more power and spin.
4. Hybrid Main String: A popular bulk choice for the mains to provide the spin and control, often paired with a softer multifilament in the crosses for added comfort.
