The Dunlop Explosive Spin 16G in Yellow is a premium co-polyester monofilament designed for heavy hitters who want to dictate play with massive topspin and high-level control. This 16-gauge version is the most durable in the Explosive Spin line, making it a favorite for aggressive players who go through strings quickly.
Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel is the most economical choice for frequent stringers, tournament players, or coaches, providing enough material for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings.
Performance Profile
- Hexagonal Ball Bite: The string features a unique 6-sided (hexagonal) profile. These sharp edges act like teeth, gripping the felt of the ball upon impact to generate extreme levels of topspin and heavy, diving slices.
- Firm Control: As a co-poly, it offers a low-powered, "dead" response. This allows advanced players to take massive, full-speed swings without the fear of the ball sailing long, providing surgical precision on targets.
- Optimal Snap-Back: The specialized polyester blend is engineered for a high snap-back effect. The strings slide and spring back into position rapidly, which is the mechanical driver behind its elite spin potential.
- High Durability: The 1.30mm (16G) diameter provides extra mass to resist "notching" and friction wear, extending the life of the stringbed for those with high swing speeds.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Baseliners: Players who live at the back of the court and rely on heavy topspin to push their opponents deep behind the baseline.
- Tournament Players: Competitive players who need a consistent, reliable string that won't lose its "bite" or snap prematurely during a match.
- Open String Patterns: An excellent choice for racquets with open patterns (like 16x19), where the extra thickness of the 16G gauge helps mitigate the increased string movement and wear.
- Hybrid Main String: A popular bulk choice for the mains when paired with a softer cross-string to create a high-spin setup with a more forgiving feel.
