Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for players looking to improve their games through better equipment, the Dunlop Aerogel 800 oversized racquet generates extra power without compromising control. The 100-percent Hotmelt graphite racquet combines Dunlop's Aerogel, M-Fil, Vibrocore, and Aerobridge technologies. Aerogel racquets incorporate the world's lightest solid into the racquet design, with a strength of up to 4,000 times its own weight. This three-dimensional nanometer-sized molecular network produces an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, creating enhanced stiffness and increased power with every stroke. Dunlap then added Multi-Filament (M-FIL) materials across the hitting zone to soften the ball impact, generating a frame that expertly balances power and control. M-Fil technology incorporates a unique patented 3D braiding process, combining carbon, S-fiber, and magnesium into the hitting zone of the racquet head. This enhances the control of the racquet where you need it most--at the moment of ball contact.

The racquet also boasts Dunlop's Aerobridge system, an injection-molded polymer sleeve that encloses the bridge of the racquet. The system--which employs a specially engineered mix of braided carbon fibers--helps soften the frame in the traditional sweet-spot area, helping dampen string vibration and enhance touch and feel. Finally, Dunlop further reduces frame vibrations through its Vibrocore technology. At ball impact, the racquet absorbs shock waves into the shaft and its silicone rubber core, preventing the waves from traveling down to the handle. This significantly reduces the risk of tennis elbow and provides exceptional comfort. Overall, the Aerogel 800 is one of the most forgiving racquets on the market for game improvers.

The Aerogel 800 integrates the world's lightest solid into the racquet design.
