The Dunlop Explosive Speed 16G in Blue is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament designed to prioritize ball velocity and surgical control. Unlike the "Explosive Spin" variant, which uses a textured surface for ball bite, the Speed version features a smooth, rounded profile to maximize "snap-back" and clean energy transfer.
Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel is the most cost-effective solution for frequent stringers and competitive players, providing enough material for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings.
Performance Profile
- Maximum Velocity: Engineered for aggressive players, the smooth outer surface reduces friction between strings, allowing them to slide and snap back with extreme efficiency. This "snap-back" effect results in a faster, more explosive launch off the stringbed.
- Low-Powered Control: As a firm co-poly, it offers a "dead" response that allows big hitters to swing at 100% power while keeping the ball deep in the court. It is designed to turn fast swings into heavy, penetrating shots.
- Crisp Feedback: The string provides a firm and responsive feel. This high level of feedback is favored by advanced players who want to feel exactly how the ball is interacting with the racquet.
- Tension Stability: The premium polyester blend is designed to hold its tension better than basic polyesters, extending the "peak performance" window of the string job.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Baseliners: Players who dictate rallies with high swing speeds and want to maximize the "speed" of their flat or moderately-spun groundstrokes.
- Big Hitters: Those who generate plenty of their own power but need a string that provides enough control to prevent the ball from flying.
- Flat Hitters: Because of its smooth, round profile, it is particularly effective for players who hit a flatter ball and want a consistent, predictable launch angle.
- Frequent Stringers: Competitive players and coaches who go through strings quickly and benefit from the consistency and value of a full reel.
