This is one in a series of articles that review the current line of tennis racquets available on the market.  This article outlines the product line offered by Dunlop.  For more information or detailed racquet specifications, check out the Dunlop website.

Muscle Weave Series

  • 200G 108
    Not to be mistaken for simply an oversize version of its little brother (the Muscle Weave 200G midplus), the Muscle Weave 200G 108 is lighter, wider, longer and balanced head-heavy. Categorized more as a game improvement racquet than a player's model, its oversize head, 27.5-inch length and light weight (9.5oz.) make it easily maneuverable from the baseline and fun to use at net. Intermediate players with compact to medium swings are probably the best candidates for this racquet, however, the 200G 108 has enjoyed wider appeal, from a broad cross section of players, than most oversize frames at this weight and balance.
  • 200G 95
    The current racquet of choice for top 20 ATP Tour players Mark Philippoussis and Cedric Pioline. A traditionally weighted (12oz.) and balanced (head light) frame, the Muscle Weave 200G 95 offers full heft, medium flex and a dense string pattern, along with an elastomer/kevlar yoke in the throat to provide enhanced feel and comfort. A true player's racquet, the 200G 95 will perform best in the hands of big hitters who seek ultimate control.
  • C-Max 108
    Looking for ultra maneuverability (9oz.) in a medium powered, oversize racquet? The head heavy Muscle Weave C-Max 108 deserves a look. Surprisingly solid and stable for its weight, the C-Max 108 provides a well balanced mix of oversize power with midsize control. Added spin control is a welcome feature with the open 16x20 string pattern, while the concave profile provides the benefit of a greater hitting area for increased power. A nice choice for 3.0 to 5.0 level players, with medium swing speeds, who want more stability and feel from an oversize option in this weight class.
  • C-Max 98
    Same weight (9oz.) and longbody length (27.5 inches) as its bigger 108 brother, the Muscle Weave C-Max 98 is perfect for the intermediate/improving player who wants increased power, but with the precision and speed of a more maneuverable head size. The concave profile provides the benefit of a wider string area and larger sweetspot. Perfect for the rapidly improving 2.5 to 4.5 level player who wants the ultimate in leading edge technology without a major loss in control/feel.

Adrenalin Series

  • Rush
    Two unique head sizes (98 and 108) of the Adrenalin Rush accent the
