The Dunlop Explosive Speed 17G in Yellow is a premium co-polyester monofilament designed to maximize ball velocity and offensive power. This thinner 17-gauge version offers a more lively and responsive feel compared to the 16G, providing extra "pop" and energy return for players who want their shots to penetrate the court with pace.
Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel provides enough material for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings, making it the most economical choice for high-volume players, stringers, or coaches.
Performance Profile
- High Velocity: The string features a smooth, rounded outer profile that minimizes friction between the strings. This enables efficient "snap-back," where the strings slide and spring back into position rapidly, adding extra speed and rebound to every shot.
- Enhanced Feel & Bite: Because it is a thinner 17G (1.25mm) string, it allows for deeper ball pocketing than the 16G version. This results in a softer feel at impact and improved touch, while still maintaining the control associated with polyester strings.
- Offensive Control: While it is geared toward power, it remains a firm monofilament. This allows aggressive players with fast swing speeds to swing freely, knowing the string will help contain their power through precise, consistent feedback.
- Vibrant Visuals: The high-visibility Yellow color adds a bold aesthetic to the racquet and is a popular choice for matching bright frame cosmetics.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Offensive Players: Those who like to dictate points with pace and deep, penetrating groundstrokes.
- Intermediate to Advanced Levels: Best for players who have developed a full swing and need a string that can handle high-velocity impact without losing control.
- Junior & Transitional Players: The 17G version is often a great transition for players moving toward polyesters, as it is slightly more forgiving and powerful than the thicker 16G.
- Flat & Moderate Spin Hitters: The round profile is ideal for players who hit a flatter ball but still want the durability and control benefits of a co-poly.
