An ideal racquet for serious club players looking for slightly added comfort in a player’s frame.

Dunlop M-Fil 3Hundred

HOW IT TESTED
Say you’re a good player but you don’t want a racquet with too much heft and a tiny sweet spot. The Aerogel 3Hundred might be for you. It doesn’t have the control of a traditional player’s racquet, but it’s easier to handle and has a smaller learning curve. The addition of Aerogel, the world’s lightest solid material, provides stiffness, stability, and plenty of pop without making the racquet cumbersome and head heavy (the traditional way of beefi ng up a racquet’s power). This keeps the weight more than manageable, allowing you to take big cuts at the ball. If you’re a high-level player who must return big power shots, keep in mind that the frame can be unstable on off-center hits. Those looking for a little extra sturdiness might want a touch more weight, which makes the Aerogel 3Hundred a good candidate for some lead tape.

BOTTOM LINE
If you want a racquet that’s player-oriented, but you need more juice and less weight, this is an excellent option.

Dunlop Aerogel 300 Tennis Racquet is the ideal racquet for advanced/good club players seeking exceptional touch from a lighter weight, control oriented racquet.

Dunlop Aerogel is a truly space age material.  It is the world's lightest solid and has a strength of up to 4,000 times its own weight.

The combination of Aerogel for increased stiffness couple with M-Fil across the hitting zone to soften ball impact means that Aerogel frames deliver the perfect balance between power and control.
