Dunlop Explosive Spin Black 17G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Explosive Spin 17G in Black is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament engineered for the modern aggressive player. This 17-gauge version is thinner than the 16G, providing a more "lively" feel and enhanced snap-back for even greater topspin potential.

Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel is the most economical choice for tournament players and frequent stringers, offering enough material for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings.

Performance Profile

1. Hexagonal Ball Bite: The string features a unique 6-sided (hexagonal) profile. These sharp edges are designed to "grip" the felt of the ball upon impact, allowing players to generate heavy topspin and aggressive, diving slices.
2. Optimized Snap-Back: The 1.25mm (17G) gauge facilitates better string movement. The specialized polyester blend allows the strings to slide and snap back into position rapidly, which is the engine behind creating a heavy, deep ball.
3. Firm Control: As a co-poly, it provides a low-powered, "dead" response. This allows advanced players with fast swing speeds to swing at 100% capacity while maintaining surgical precision over the ball's trajectory.
4. Enhanced Feel: While it remains a firm control string, the thinner 17G diameter offers more ball pocketing and better feedback than the thicker 16G, giving you a more connected sensation during touch shots.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Baseliners: Players who rely on high-arcing topspin to push opponents back and dictate the rhythm of the match.
2. Tournament & Competitive Players: Those who need a consistent, predictable string that rewards fast swing speeds and provides elite-level control.
3. Dense String Patterns: An excellent choice for racquets with closed string patterns (e.g., 18x20), as the thinner 17G gauge helps "open up" the stringbed for more spin and power.
4. Hybrid Applications: A popular bulk choice for the mains when paired with a softer multifilament or synthetic gut in the crosses for a more comfortable, high-spin setup.
