The Dunlop Explosive Spin 16G in Black is a premium co-polyester string specifically engineered for aggressive baseliners who want to dominate with heavy topspin. Unlike the Silk or S-Gut series, which focus on comfort and feel, the Explosive Spin is a performance-driven tool built for control and maximum ball bite.
Performance Profile
- Hexagonal Shape: The string features a unique 6-sided (hexagonal) profile. These sharp edges grip the felt of the ball upon impact, dramatically increasing the "snap-back" effect and generating massive topspin.
- Firm Control: As a co-poly, it offers a firm, low-powered response. This "dead" feeling allows advanced players to swing as hard as possible while keeping the ball inside the lines.
- Predictable Launch: The stiffness of the string ensures a very consistent launch angle. You get out exactly what you put in, making it ideal for players with long, fast strokes.
- Durability: The 16-gauge (1.30mm) thickness provides excellent resistance to breaking and "notching," even for heavy hitters who frequently break strings.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Baseliners: Players who live at the back of the court and rely on heavy spin to push their opponents back.
- Big Hitters: Those with high swing speeds who need a string that won't "rocket" the ball out of the court.
- Competitive Players: Ideal for tournament play where consistency and the ability to "dip" the ball into small windows is crucial.
- Hybrid Main String: A popular choice for the mains when paired with a softer cross string (like Dunlop Silk) to create a setup that offers both spin and comfort.
