DUNLOP Biomimetic F 5.0 Tour Tennis Racquet

ATP world no. 11 Nicolas Almagro has chosen the Dunlop Biomimetic F 5.0 Tour to be his weapon of choice on Tour in 2013, and it’s everything a fast-swinging topspin player could ask for. A 100 square inch head size and open 16x19 string pattern give ample space both to brush the ball and grab it between the strings for maximum topspin. A tweener-perfect 10.65oz. unstrung weight allows for high racquet speed potential, but is still heavy enough for a maneuverable head-light balance. The racquet flex is strong, and the beams are a great 22-25-25mm taper for power without added shock or diminished feel. Dunlop’s new technologies help increase the comfort and control properties of the F 5.0 Tour. Biofibre in the racquet shaft increases shock absorption by 18% for top-level comfort. Aeroskin Cx is placed strategically on the frame according to the demands of the F 5.0 Tour player type, providing increased racquet speed through reduced aerodynamic drag. MoS2 grommets allow for reduced string friction within the grommet holes and a 27% increase in string movement for enhanced power and spin. Fast-swinging players looking for great power and spin with outstanding tweener playing characteristics should put the F 5.0 Tour on their demo list.
