Our verdict
The Tristorm Lite is a forgiving entry-level teardrop that prioritizes ease of swing over raw performance, making it accessible but unremarkable. The EVA core delivers a predictable, muted feel that suits absolute beginners transitioning from tennis or picking up padel for the first time, though the head-heavy balance at 365g creates a slight contradiction with its lite branding, adding fatigue on extended volleys. At its price point Dunlop faces stiff competition from Babolat and Head beginner lines that offer comparable or better sweetspot tolerance, keeping value squarely average.

Maneuverability is genuinely outstanding here, noticeably lighter and less fatiguing than heavier alternatives, and comfort holds up well in a teardrop build. Tolerance is forgiving enough on off-centre hits for real beginners. It's accessible without being remarkable. Power stays adequate but unimpressive, relying on technique rather than racket assistance, and the head-heavy balance may feel tip-heavy for players who prefer a neutral or head-light design.
