Dunlop Silk Pro 17G Natural Tennis String

The Dunlop Silk Pro 17G in Natural is the "tour-ready" evolution of the standard Silk series. While it retains the signature comfort of the original, it is engineered with a denser construction to provide a crisper feel and improved control for players with faster swing speeds.

Performance Profile

The Silk Pro is designed for those who want the arm-friendliness of a multifilament but find standard versions too "mushy" or powerful.

1. Controlled Power: Unlike the standard Silk, the Pro version has a firmer feel. It offers a more predictable launch angle, allowing you to swing bigger without fear of the ball flying long.
2. Enhanced Feel: The 17G (thinner) diameter allows for deeper ball pocketing and increased "bite," providing better feedback and responsiveness on touch shots and volleys.
3. Vibration Dampening: It utilizes high-grade polyurethane (PU) to filter out harsh frequencies, maintaining a high comfort rating while feeling more "connected" to the ball.
4. Durability: The "Pro" coating is specifically designed to resist friction and shearing, helping the strings slide and snap back more effectively than traditional multifilaments.

Best Suited For

1. Advanced/Intermediate Players: Those who need a soft string but want more "feedback" and control than a standard power multifilament offers.
2. Spin Seekers (for Multi): The thinner 1.27mm gauge provides better string snap-back and bite than the 16G version, aiding in topspin production.
3. Hybrid Setups: This is an elite cross-string choice for "Pro" players who use a stiff polyester in the mains but want to maximize the "sweet spot" of their racquet.
4. Control Racquet Owners: It pairs beautifully with thinner-beamed racquets (like the CX series) to add a touch of plushness without sacrificing the racquet's inherent precision.
