The Dunlop Iconic Touch 17G in Natural is a premium multifilament string designed to provide the ultimate in feel, shock absorption, and "pocketing." While the "Iconic Speed" focuses on energy return, the Iconic Touch is engineered with a softer material blend to mimic the plush, connected sensation of natural gut.
Performance Profile
- Maximum Comfort: This is one of the most arm-friendly strings in the Dunlop catalog. The multifilament construction utilizes high-quality polyurethane (PU) to dampen harsh vibrations, making it an excellent choice for players with tennis elbow.
- Superior Ball Pocketing: The 17G (1.27mm) gauge is highly elastic. Upon impact, the stringbed stretches and "holds" the ball for a fraction of a second longer, providing surgical precision and control over ball placement.
- Plush Feel: It offers a "soft" and dampened sensation rather than a crisp one. This allows for exceptional touch on volleys, lobs, and delicate drop shots.
- Smooth Power: While it is a control-oriented multifilament, the 17G thickness ensures easy access to depth, helping players generate pace without needing a violent swing.
Best Suited For
- Touch and Finesse Players: Those who win points through variety, placement, and net play rather than raw baseline power.
- Players with Arm Injuries: Its high vibration-damping properties make it a top recommendation for anyone needing a gentle, pain-free hitting experience.
- Hybrid Enthusiasts: An elite choice for the "cross strings" in a hybrid setup. When paired with a polyester main, it significantly softens the overall feel and increases the sweet spot of the racquet.
