Dunlop FX Pro Team
About the Dunlop FX Pro Team
The diamond head shape keeps the Pro Team's attacking intent obvious, but the medium balance holds some of that weight back toward the centre of the frame rather than loading it fully into the head. That difference is what separates it from a pure power racket: shots off centre are still usable, and the frame does not punish a swing that is not perfectly timed every time.
Dunlop builds it around a medium-hardness Pro EVA core, described by one retailer as giving a firm response with durability rather than the harder, more reactive touch used in the Pro above it. Set behind a carbon face, it is stiff enough to reward an attacking swing while staying more forgiving on contact than a hard-core racket.
Within the FX range, the Pro Team is best read as the accessible route into the diamond shape's attacking profile: it offers a genuine power dimension without demanding the fully committed swing and small sweet spot of the FX Pro. A player who finds the Pro Team's power ceiling limiting, and who already has a consistent, established swing, is the one who should move up to the Pro; a player who finds it demanding is better served by the softer, teardrop-shaped Hybrid Team.
Questions about the Dunlop FX Pro Team
Who is the Dunlop FX Pro Team built for?
Intermediate and advanced players who want an attacking, diamond-shaped racket without the small sweet spot and hard core of the top-tier FX Pro. It suits a player developing a more offensive game who still wants some margin for a mistimed shot.
What core does the Dunlop FX Pro Team use?
A medium-hardness Pro EVA core, a dense foam giving a firmer, more durable response than a soft core while staying gentler on contact than the hard core used in the FX Pro above it. It suits a player who wants attacking pace without the stiffest possible feel.
Is the Dunlop FX Pro Team beginner friendly?
Not really. Its diamond shape and medium-hardness core are built for a player who already has some attacking intent in their game; a genuine beginner is better matched to the softer, teardrop-shaped FX Start or FX Hybrid Team.
What is the difference between the Dunlop FX Pro Team and the FX Pro?
The Pro Team uses a medium balance and a medium-hardness core, holding weight back from the head and softening the response compared with the Pro's head-heavy balance and hard core, which is built for players chasing the diamond shape's maximum power ceiling.
Is the Dunlop FX Pro Team good for control or for power?
It is pitched as a power racket that keeps some control: the diamond shape and carbon face favour attacking shots, but the medium balance and medium-hardness core hold enough back that it does not punish a shot that is not perfectly struck.
What shape and balance does the Dunlop FX Pro Team use, and what does that mean in play?
A diamond head shape with a medium balance. The diamond shape gives it an attacking profile, but the medium balance keeps weight closer to the centre than a head-heavy racket, so it is more forgiving of an off-centre hit than a pure power frame.
Should an improving player buy the Dunlop FX Pro Team or the FX Pro?
A player without a fully established, repeatable swing gets more from the Pro Team's medium balance and softer core; the FX Pro's hard core and head-heavy balance are built for a player who already generates consistent power and wants the frame to add to it.
