Dunlop Explosive Spin Yellow 17G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Explosive Spin 17G in Yellow is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament engineered for players who want to dominate with heavy topspin and precision. This thinner 17-gauge version is more responsive and offers a more "lively" feel compared to the 16G, providing enhanced ball pocketing and even faster snap-back.

Purchasing the 200m (660ft) Reel is the most economical choice for competitive players, providing enough string for approximately 17 to 19 restrings.

Performance Profile

1. Hexagonal Grip: The string features a 6-sided (hexagonal) profile with sharp edges designed to "bite" into the ball’s felt. This mechanical grip allows you to generate massive amounts of topspin, helping high-powered shots dip sharply inside the lines.
2. Thinner Gauge Response: The 1.25mm (17G) diameter allows the stringbed to deflect more upon impact. This results in better "pocketing" sensations and a slightly higher energy return than the thicker 16G version, making it easier to generate depth.
3. Elite Snap-Back: The specialized co-poly material is designed for low friction and high resilience. The strings slide and snap back into position violently, which is the key driver for generating a "heavy" ball that explodes off the court.
4. Surgical Control: Despite its spin potential, this remains a firm, low-powered string. It provides the predictable launch angle and "dead" response that advanced players need to maintain control during high-intensity baseline rallies.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Baseliners: Players who rely on heavy topspin to push their opponents back and dictate the rhythm of the point.
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 Main String: A popular bulk choice for the mains when paired with a softer multifilament or synthetic gut in the crosses to create a high-spin setup with improved comfort.
