Dunlop Explosive Tour Silver 16G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Explosive Tour 16G in Silver is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament designed for the competitive player who demands the absolute maximum in control and precision. Within the Explosive family, the "Tour" version is engineered to be the most "pro-spec" offering, providing a very firm, consistent response that holds up under the highest swing speeds.

Purchasing this in a 200m (660ft) Reel is the most cost-effective solution for tournament players and frequent stringers, providing enough material for approximately 17 to 19 standard restrings.

Performance Profile

1. Elite Control: This string is designed with a low-powered, "dead" response. It is specifically built for players who provide their own massive power and need a string that acts as a governor, ensuring the ball stays within the lines even on full-speed strokes.
2. Maximum Tension Stability: One of the hallmark features of the Tour version is its ability to maintain its tension over time. Unlike softer polyesters that can "bag out" or lose their playability quickly, Explosive Tour is designed to keep its "peak" feel for longer.
3. Crisp, Clean Feedback: It offers a very "connected" feel to the ball. There is no mushiness here—advanced players will appreciate the clear, direct feedback that allows for surgical ball placement.
4. Round Profile for Consistency: The smooth, round shape ensures a highly predictable launch angle. This is the preferred profile for players who hit through the ball with a flatter trajectory or those who want consistent snap-back without the erratic bite of shaped strings.

Best Suited For

1. Advanced & Tournament Players: Those with established, fast-swinging strokes who prioritize precision and a "dead" response over free power.
2. Big Hitters: Players who frequently overhit with softer strings and need a firm, low-elasticity stringbed to contain their aggression.
3. Frequent String Breakers: The 1.30mm (16G) gauge is the most durable version, offering excellent resistance to the friction and shearing forces of high-level play.
4. Hybrid Applications: A popular choice for the mains when looking for a rock-solid foundation that won't lose tension, often paired with a softer cross-string to add a touch of comfort.
