Biomimetic Technology |
|
Biomemitics means "imitate
life". It is the science of incorporating features
from nature in products we use.
|
|
Aero Skin
Like the skin of a shark, Aeroskin features tiny riblets that reduce
aerodynamic drag by up to 25% for increased racket head speed and
power.
Also used in modern swimming speed suits.

HM6 Carbon Fibre
A newly designed carbon
compound that mimics the hexagonal structure of a honeycomb, one
of nature’s strongest and most efficient structures.
The HM6
carbon is placed between Aerogel*-enhanced carbon to reduce racket
vibration by up to 10% for ultimate energy return and feel.
This retains the exceptional control and stability of 4D
braiding. (see below).

Gecko Tac Grips
Gecko Tac - the name given to Dunlop's new grip surface
treatment. Muck like the pads found on a gecko's feet, which
can cling upside down even to wet surfaces, Gecko-Tac grip
provides 50% more grip and tack than previous Dunlop models.
This gives players greater feel and precision with their racquet.

4D Technology |

|
Dunlop 4D
Taking Tennis to the next Dimension
4D stands for 4
directional braiding. It is constructed using four braided fibres of
superight S-glass fiber wrapped in an aluminum alloy sheath.
Four directional braided material is used at key points on the
racket frame to significantly increase racket stability.
- at 5 and 7 o'clock to minimize frame torsion and increase control
- at 3 and 9 o'clock for increased stability and enhanced touch and
feel
The results are exceptional racket control without sacrificing the
Dunlop racket feel. 4D braiding has been implemented across the whole
Dunlop Aerogel line, offering outstanding benefits to players of all
abilities.

Dunlop AeroGel Technology
|
|
|
AeroGel is the new breed of racquet material - Light
and Strong:
AeroGel (like Head MicroGel and Wilson K Factor) is
extremely light, strong and rigid. It has an
unmatched strength to weight ratio.
Now a racquet can be designed for great strength and
stability without adding undesired weight. There
can be special shaping of the head, yoke, and
connector sections that was not possible with older
materials.
Try an AeroGel, you will see that balls go exactly
where you want, you have great feel, and you also have
good comfort and low vibration.

Dunlop M-Fil Technology
|
|
|
M-Fil is a three dimensional braid that is infused into
the racquets carbon-fiber frame. This stabilizes the frame in all
dimensions to provide control and stability.
|
|
|
|
Dunlop VibraCore Technology |
|
Vibracore Technology dramatically reduces frame vibrations. At ball
impact, shock waves are absorbed into a silconnerubbercore in the shaft of the racquet
and are not allowed to travel down to the
handle. This provides exceptional comfort and significantly reduces the risk of tennis
elbow.
Virbacore, like Babolat Cortex, is especially effective in more
powerful frames.
