Dunlop Explosive Spin 17G Yellow Tennis String

The Dunlop Explosive Spin 17G in Yellow is a premium co-polyester monofilament designed to maximize spin and playability. By taking the hexagonal profile of the Explosive Spin line and applying it to a thinner 17-gauge diameter, Dunlop has created a string that offers a more "lively" and responsive feel compared to its thicker counterparts.

Performance Profile

1. High Spin Potential: The hexagonal (6-sided) profile provides physical edges that "grab" the ball's felt at contact. Combined with the thinner 17G gauge, the string sinks deeper into the ball, allowing for massive topspin and sharp, dipping slices.
2. Increased Power: The 1.25mm diameter is more elastic than a 16-gauge string. This results in a greater "trampoline effect," giving you more "free" power and making it easier to hit deep groundstrokes with less effort.
3. Responsive Feel: This string offers excellent feedback. You'll feel a more connected sensation to the ball, which is a major advantage for touch shots, volleys, and finesse plays.
4. Improved Comfort: The increased elasticity of the 17G gauge helps absorb more shock upon impact, making this a more arm-friendly option for players who want the benefits of a polyester string.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Spin Players: Ideal for those who play a modern, topspin-heavy game and want a string that helps the ball "kick" off the court.
2. Players in Dense String Patterns: If your racquet has an 18x20 pattern, this thinner gauge helps increase the launch angle and power, making the racquet feel more "open" and forgiving.
3. Intermediate to Advanced Players: Those who have developed their swing and want a string that rewards fast head speed with heavy, penetrating shots.
