Dunlop Silk Pro 17G Tennis String Reel

The Dunlop Silk Pro 17G is a super-premium multifilament string designed to be the closest synthetic alternative to natural gut in Dunlop’s lineup. By utilizing a high-density construction of flexible microfibers bonded with a stretchy polyurethane (PU) resin, it provides a plush, arm-friendly hitting experience with a significant "pop" off the string bed.

Performance Profile

1. Ultimate Comfort: The "Silk" namesake reflects its primary goal—vibration dampening. The PU-saturated fibers absorb shock exceptionally well, making it one of the most comfortable options for players with sensitive elbows.
2. High Power: Because the multifilament core is highly elastic, it offers a powerful "trampoline effect," helping players achieve depth even on shorter swings.
3. Enhanced Touch: It provides a very "connected" feel, allowing for precise feedback on volleys, lobs, and drop shots.
4. Improved Durability: Unlike standard multifilaments that can fray quickly, the "Pro" version features a super bonded polymer outer coating. This reduces friction between strings to slow down wear and improve "snap-back" for better spin consistency.

Best Suited For

1. Players with Arm Issues: An ideal choice for those suffering from tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) or general joint soreness.
2. Natural Gut Enthusiasts: For players who love the feel of gut but want a more affordable, more weather-resistant alternative.
3. Hybrid Users: A perfect "cross string" to pair with a stiff co-polyester main string. It softens the overall feel of the racquet and opens up the sweet spot.
4. Touch & Feel Players: Specifically those who rely on variety and placement rather than pure baseline heavy-hitting.
