With the 2023 edition of the FX 700, Dunlop has improved the key characteristics bringing even easier power and forgiving feel to a racquet for anyone with a short to medium length of swing or those who prefer a larger head-size for a big sweet spot.
The headsize at 107 square inches favours power generation and forgiving feel with its large sweet spot. For the 2023 version of the FX 700, Dunlop made the string pattern even more open for an even livelier feel and easier access to spin. The weight, being a light racquet, should prove very easy to maneuver for comfortable serves, quick net-play and fast adjustments in the heat of a point. Its slight head-light balance (unstrung) provides a mostly balanced frame-feel that will further enhance its maneuverability and should feel lighter on the wrist. The beam thickness varies along the frame providing optimized power and comfort characteristics.
Enhancing the above physical characteristics of the frame are the core technologies Dunlop has implemented into the materials that make up the racquet. With the 2023 edition, Dunlop has enhanced the flexibility of the frame thereby providing a more forgiving and comfortable feel. Dunlop has also adjusted the grommet system to enhance the power characteristics to increase overall energy return across the string bed. This combination of updates should also balance out the slight power reduction from the additional flexibility of the frame. For enhanced comfort, Dunlop has maintained their Sonic Core technology strategically located at the 2 and 10'oclock areas of the racquet's hoop for reducing unwanted shock at impact when hitting in the upper area outside of the sweetspot. Additionally, Power Grid String Tech optimizes the string layout for a larger than usual sweet spot with enhanced spin potential.
Combined with the core technologies, the FX 700 is a racquet built to assist the player in generating pace and hitting the sweet spot with fantastic comfort while striking the ball. This racquet should continue to prove popular among players who are looking for their racquet to do some of the work for them.

- Sonic Core: Located at the 2 and 10 o’clock areas of the racquet. Super-elastic, super-light material, offers rebound properties significantly higher than other materials. Reduced vibrations mean reduced impact and more comfort.
- Power Boost-Groove: Grommet Structure- A wider and deeper precision groove engineered into the racquet frame creating more pull-back of the strings at impact, resulting in more power.
- Power Grip String Tech: Put control in the palm of your hand. Re-designed string bed is larger across the main & cross strings, providing more even power distribution, particularly at the racquet top. String movement generates more power & spin.
- Power Boost Frame Geometry: Increased power and stability. An aerodynamic power head shape provides a sharp, modern looking shaft. The wider throat provides more stability.
