Dunlop LX 1000 Tennis Racquet

The Dunlop LX 1000 is the flagship "super-oversize" model in Dunlop’s luxury line. It is designed specifically for players with shorter, slower swing styles—typically seniors or doubles specialists—who want the racket to do the heavy lifting in terms of power and comfort.

Core Technologies

1. Flex Touch Resin: A high-performance thermoplastic resin integrated into the frame to increase flexibility and dampen harsh vibrations, resulting in a much "softer" feel on the arm.
2. Hybrar Grommet System: This system utilizes a soft, vibration-absorbing material in the grommets to further reduce the shock of impact, making it one of the most arm-friendly frames on the market.
3. Straight String System: The grommet holes and strings are aligned in a straight line to expand the hitting area, creating a massive, forgiving sweet spot that minimizes "dead" zones on the string bed.
4. Dual Bridge System: A unique bridge construction that enhances both power (through string compression) and comfort (by absorbing frame shock before it reaches the handle).

Performance Characteristics 

1. Massive Power: Between the 115-square-inch head and the head-heavy balance, this racket generates significant depth on the ball with very little effort.
2. Extended Reach: The extra half-inch (27.5 inches) provides better leverage on serves and extra reach when stretched out for volleys in doubles.
3. Ultra-Lightweight: At 255g, it is incredibly easy to maneuver at the net, though it may feel pushed around by very heavy hitters.

Best For:

• Players looking for maximum arm protection and comfort.
• Doubles players who want a large surface area for volleys.
• Players with limited swing speed who need help getting the ball deep into the opponent's court.
