Our TW University lab tests show that Black Widow is one of the softer polyester strings available, and I could confirm that even after my very first hitting session. The stringbed felt very lively at impact, and the ball seemed to explode off the stringbed, making it extremely comfortable.

The ultimate spin machine. Hit shots with maximum spin, thanks to seven-sided, premium co-polyester string. Despite the high levels of spin and power, the string has a soft and comfortable feel.

A stiff tennis racket is a racket that returns a lot of the energy from the ball when it hits the racket head (little bending). This gives you more power. A racket is classified as stiff when it has an Ra of 70 or more.

Two professional players on the ATP tour use the Dunlop SX 300, which is a topspin orientated racket. Miomir Kecmanovic is a young Serbian tennis player, who broke into the top 40 after winning at 2020 Kitzbuhel, his first ATP title.

Good strings! I've used Ernie Ball strings for years, but Dunlops are my new pick. My guitar feels like a whole new instrument each time I put on a pack of Dunlop mediums. They sound more clear and feel smooth.

FRAME STIFFNESS A flexible racquet or felxible frame provides more control and comfort but absorbs more power as it deforms more when hitting the ball. Conversely, a stiff racquet doesn't deflect as much on impact providing more power, but less control.

A higher tension will provide more power and control only if you can consistently hit the sweet spot. The downside is that the strings will break more easily if a mis-hit occurs because of how tight the strings are being stretched.

Our story began with a moment of innovation – when John Boyd Dunlop invented the pneumatic tyre in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1888. From that moment onwards, the Dunlop name has been associated with breakthroughs in car tyre technology – and the high performance that our customers expect.

History. Dunlop was established as a company manufacturing goods from rubber in 1889. The company entered the sporting goods market in 1910, when it began to manufacture rubber golf balls at its base in Birmingham.

Customize your racquet (add weight) As long as you can swing your racquet at the same speed, a heavier racquet will exert more force on the ball when you hit it. By adding weight at the top of the hoop (the 12 o'clock position), you'll the biggest boost in power with the least amount of weight.

High tension strings are often preferred by concert guitarists for more volume and projection, although they can be harder to play, and are sometimes not advisable to use, particularly if you have an older guitar with a more delicate soundboard.

Not necessarily. Because tighter strings produce less velocity, the ball will land shorter in the court. To make up for this, the player might swing harder generating more spin. In this case, it is not tighter strings that produce more spin, but the player's response to tighter strings.

John Boyd Dunlop (1840 – 1922) invented the pneumatic tyre in 1888, unaware that Robert Thomson had already patented a design for a pneumatic tyre in 1846.
