Dunlop FX500 (2026)

Redesigned for 2026, the new Dunlop FX 500 tennis racquet is built for explosive power from the back of the court. Featuring Power Boost + Frame Geometry, a brand new mold for 2026, includes a thicker beam width from 3 and 9 o'clock down to the mid-throat and wider front profile from 3 and 9 down to the handle. The extra stiffness provides more ball speed, while the carbon layup has been adjusted to decrease the side stiffness, providing a softer feel. The new Power Wave grommets increase the stringbed stiffness in the sweetspot for an even power level across the face and more consistent sweet spot. Power Boost + Groove continues to help create that extra wide sweetspot and extra comfort, while Sonic Core with Infinergy does its job in reducing vibration at impact for more comfort. With its lower 320 swingweight, the FX 500 will appeal to both bigger hitters looking for speed and intermediate players looking for a more maneuverable frame.
