Dunlop adds another chapter to the heaviest model of the FX family. Named the FX 500 Tour, this stick gives experienced players a seductive combination of power, spin and precision. In addition to having the thinnest beam in the FX family, the 500 Tour packs a compact 632 square centimeter head. As a result it has more control and feel than other members of the FX family but it still packs enough pop for finishing points. For 2023 the 500 Tour gets a new mold along with a more flexible beam, giving it a softer, more arm-friendly response than the previous generation. Dunlop has also reengineered the grommet system to further increase string movement, resulting in extra power and comfort. As with the previous generation, this racquet benefits from Sonic Core w/Infinergy which is added to the upper hoop to soften the feel of impact. Additional features include a Power Boost Frame Geometry which combines a speedy aerodynamic profile with a wider throat for stability. Ultimately, the FX 500 Tour is a great option for the experienced player who wants a fast and spin-friendly racquet that rewards full cuts with impressive accuracy. The boost in flexibility for 2023 is a nice bonus.
