Dunlop takes the all-new FX 500 Lite to the next level for 2023! Powered by Srixon technology, the FX Series has been updated to deliver a new and improved racquet series with the focus on ultimate power, enabling players to swing at full force while providing more touch, more feel and more comfort.
Dunlop improved on their Power Boost + Groove grommet technology in which they engineered a precise groove into the frame under the grommet strip. As a result, a wider and deeper groove creates more deflection of the frame and strings at impact resulting in additional power. Dunlop continues the use of Sonic Core which is located at the 2 and 10 o’clock areas of the frame. This super-elastic, light material, offers rebound properties significantly higher than other materials. All of this adds to a reduction of vibrations at impact creating a more comfortable feel and lower risk of injury.
Additional tweaks include a power redistribution, decreasing the stiffness of the racquet at the throat and the face – making it more flexible and a soft hitting feel. The FX series features Power Boost Frame Geometry creating a more aerodynamic power head shape with a sharp modern looking shaft. Dunlop also widened the throat of the frame for more stability. Dunlop re-designed the string bed with Power Grid String Tech, making the string bed larger across the main and cross strings giving you even more power.
Specifications of the FX 500 Lite include a 100 sq. in., head, a super light 10 ounce strung weight with a 16x18 string pattern, deploying this version as the lightest model with the all-new FX series. Reach every shot with the lightest 100sq inch racquet in the power series. Game improvers, intermediates and advanced juniors will find it easier to hit crisp, powerful shots thanks to the lightweight maneuverability of the FX 500 Lite.
