Dunlop FX 500 Lite (2026)

Meet the 2026 Dunlop FX 500 Lite! Like its predecessor, this racquet gives improving players a user-friendly entry point into the easy power and heavy spin of Dunlop's FX family. The speed is also an asset at net where less advanced players will find it easy to spring into action when opportunity knocks. For 2026, with its Power Boost+ Frame Geometry, Dunlop introduces a new mold that increases the beam width in key locations to boost power and stability. Other updates include Power Wave Grommets, which deploy an innovative wave pattern to stiffen the center of the stringbed, creating a more even feel and power level across the hitting zone. As with the previous generation, Dunlop adds comfort by using Sonic Core w/Infinergy in the upper hoop, along with an anti-vibration compound in the grip and midsection of the head. Dedicated beginners and early intermediate players looking to hit a more powerful ball will love this one.
