Dunlop Explosive Speed Black 17G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Explosive Speed 17G in Black is a premium co-polyester monofilament engineered for players who want to unleash maximum ball velocity without sacrificing surgical control. This 17-gauge version is thinner than the 16G, offering a more responsive, "lively" feel and slightly more power.

Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel provides enough string for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings, making it the most cost-effective option for competitive players, frequent stringers, and coaches.

Performance Profile

1. Maximum Speed & Power: The string features a rounded outer profile that minimizes friction between the strings. This facilitates rapid "snap-back," where the strings slide and spring back into position with extreme efficiency, resulting in explosive ball speed off the stringbed.
2. Firm, Low-Powered Control: As a firm co-poly, it offers a "dead" response that is highly valued by big hitters. It allows you to swing at 100% intensity while keeping the ball deep in the court, providing the confidence to go for lines on aggressive shots.
3. Predictable Response: Unlike shaped strings that can sometimes have an erratic launch angle, the smooth round shape of Explosive Speed ensures a very consistent and predictable trajectory, especially for players who hit a flatter ball.
4. Clean Feedback: Advanced players will appreciate the crisp, connected feel. It filters out the "mushy" sensation of softer strings, giving you clear feedback on every strike.

Best Suited For

1. Offensive Baseliners: Players who like to end points quickly with high-velocity groundstrokes and penetrating serves.
2. Big Hitters Seeking Control: Those who generate significant natural power but need a "firm" string to help contain their shots and provide precision.
3. Flat and Moderate Spin Hitters: The round profile is ideal for those who don't necessarily need the extra ball bite of a hexagonal string but want the snap-back speed of a smooth poly.
4. Competitive Players: Frequent stringers who want a consistent, high-performance string at a lower cost-per-job.
