About this core

A EVA soft core. 44% of the rackets we have scored sit in this band. Read from the core until we rate firmness ourselves.

The review

Control 70 and tolerance 72 are fair. Face documentation is incomplete. Value 76 is honest. The recipe suits the usual light-frame constituencies: net-forward players, developing arms, shoulder-managers, and anyone stepping up who fears mass. Dunlop's quiet-competence pattern holds: nothing headlines, everything works, the invoice behaves. A sensible, undramatic answer to the light question.

Highlights

Top 17% for handling, and in the bottom quarter for control.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 32% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
