Dunlop Explosive Spin Black 17G Tennis String

The Dunlop Explosive Spin 17G in Black is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament engineered for players who want to dominate with spin and precision. By combining a hexagonal profile with a thinner 17-gauge diameter, this string offers a more "aggressive" and responsive feel than the thicker 16G version.

Performance Profile

1. Extreme Spin Potential: The hexagonal (6-sided) shape provides sharp edges that bite into the ball's felt at contact. The thinner 1.27 mm gauge allows the string to sink deeper into the ball, generating massive topspin that "dives" into the court and kicks high.
2. Increased Snap-Back: The 17G diameter is more elastic and has a lower friction surface compared to thicker gauges. This allows the strings to slide and snap back more efficiently, adding a significant boost to both ball speed and rotation.
3. Crisp Feedback: This string provides a very direct and clear sensation at impact. It is designed for players who want to feel exactly how the ball is interacting with the stringbed, providing the confidence needed for aggressive targeting.
4. Moderate Power: While still a control-oriented polyester, the 17G gauge is livelier than the 16G, offering a slightly higher launch angle and "free" depth.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Baseliners: Players who stay back and dictate points with heavy, high-velocity topspin groundstrokes.
2. Modern Tournament Players: Advanced competitors who need a string that won't "mush" out during high-intensity rallies and maintains a predictable response.
3. Denser String Patterns: A perfect choice for 18x20 racquets, where the thinner 1.25mm gauge helps open up the sweet spot and increase playability.
