Dunlop Explosive Speed Blue 17G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Explosive Speed 17G in Blue is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament engineered for players who prioritize ball velocity and surgical precision. This 17-gauge version is thinner than the 16G, offering a more "lively" feel, increased energy return, and a slightly softer response at impact.

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

Performance Profile

1. Maximum Velocity: The string features a smooth, rounded outer profile designed to minimize friction between the strings. This allows for an ultra-efficient "snap-back" effect, where the strings slide and spring back into position rapidly, launching the ball with explosive speed.
2. Controlled Power: As a firm co-poly, it provides a low-powered, "dead" response. This is a massive advantage for aggressive hitters with fast swing speeds, as it allows them to swing at full capacity while keeping the ball deep in the court without it sailing long.
3. Enhanced Feel: The thinner 1.25mm (17G) gauge allows for better ball pocketing and a more "connected" sensation. It filters out the "mushy" feel of softer strings, giving advanced players the clear, crisp feedback they need for shot-making.
4. Consistent Trajectory: Because of its round shape, the launch angle is incredibly predictable. This makes it an ideal choice for players who hit a flatter ball or those who prefer a consistent response across the entire stringbed.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Offensive Players: Those who like to dictate the pace of the rally with deep, penetrating groundstrokes and big serves.
2. Modern Baseliners: Intermediate to advanced players with long, fast strokes who need a string that can handle high-intensity play.
3. Flat and Moderate Spin Hitters: While it generates spin through snap-back, the round profile is specifically optimized for players who want to maximize ball velocity.
4. Hybrid Specialists: An excellent bulk choice for either a full bed or as a main string in a hybrid setup to provide the "speed" and control component.
