The Dunlop Tour 100 25 Junior Tennis Racket. This week we take a look at a Dunlop Junior Racket designed for advanced tournament playing juniors between 9-12 years of age.
On first glance this is a very stylish racket, its black and yellow colour scheme are extremely attractive and ooze cool especially if you are a 10 year old kid. The Dunlop design department have done a really good on this model.
The best way I can describe this racket is fun, it feels lovely in the hand and is nice and easy to swing. Ideal for tournament playing juniors who are not quite ready to move up to a full size full weight adult 27 inch racket.
This racket comes in at 225g unstrung which relative to my normal racket is a lot lighter than I am used to. Surprisingly it is very well balanced and at times I had to remind myself I was actually playing with a junior racket. I found power very easy to generate, even on short swings I was able to get plenty of weight in my shots. It was remarkable really that such a racket can deliver so much power and play so like a full size racket.
The racket is extremely manoeuvrable and its thin frame cut through the air quickly. I could really hit through the ball without losing control of the racket. Racket head speed was easy to generate and as I accelerated on my forehands and backhands I always made good contact with the ball without it losing stability upon impact. The string pattern on this frame is 16×19 and so provides good topspin without much effort.
Serving with this racket was easy as too were volleys. I was able to get plenty of power on the serve and hit the corners of the service box without much difficulty. I could put both spin and slice on the serve. With such a manoeuvrable racket volleying was easy but feel was one area that could be improved. I found that sometimes I couldn’t be as precise as I would have liked on my volleys.
So with great power, spin and manoeuvrability what else could a junior player want? I gave the Dunlop Tour 100 25 Junior racket to a talented junior in my club. Jack found the racket really fun to play with ‘light but powerful, really cool looking and easy to generate topspin.’ I noticed greater zip on Jack’s shots and improved depth. Take a look at my video below for further info.
Dunlop Fort Tennis Balls.
These are all court tennis balls designed for all courts surfaces and conditions and even on a dreary January day in Derry they still really impressed. Holding the tennis balls in my hands you could feel the quality and thickness of the felt. Even before one ball was struck I knew these were going to be good. The balls have plenty of life in them and bounced well on hard courts. Upon contact there was a lovely crisp feeling on my strings which didn’t diminish as my hit went on. For great quality balls with even better performance Dunlop Fort Tennis Balls are certainly worth a hit.
