Dunlop Fx Start

The FX Start Gun Metal is Dunlop's documented starter: a confirmed 360 g even-balanced EVA build scoring a gentle 68/66 split with civil terms (comfort 71, tolerance 71) and prompt handling (72). Value 82 is strong. Against the unbadged FX Start listing, this gunmetal edition carries the spec sheet and the dealer network, which settles the twin question in its favour at equal money. New players get Dunlop's quiet competence in starter form: kind, punctual, honestly priced. A thoroughly sensible first racket.
