Dunlop FX 500

When looking at the specs, the Dunlop FX 500 lines up very well with the Pure Drive. One difference does stand out, however. The FX 500's swingweight is a little lower, which means it should feel more maneuverable. Our playteters did pick up on that and found it to feel quick through the air, which helped them ramp up the spin.
