The SX 300 Lite from Dunlop brings optimized access to spin and power in a light frame for very easy handling suitable for younger players who are looking for a lighter full-size racquet or adults looking for a lightweight manageable racquet with an average head size.
The headsize at 100 square inches provides a blend of control and power with a forgiving feel. Coupled with the headsize, the open string pattern has a lively feel with easier access to spin. The weight being quite light at 9.5 ounces (unstrung) favours enhanced maneuverability granting easier general movement for comfortable net-play, serves and quick returns. Its head-light balance (unstrung) increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power as well as being conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys or being able to swing fast for greater spin generation. The beam thickness enhances and optimizes the stability of the frame for greater energy transfer and power across the string-bed, something more common in the 100 square inch racquets of the modern era being developed for spin and power.
The racquet has even more "Spin Boost" than before with it's new spin-enhancing grommets that allow extra string movement which improves the "bite" on the ball for a higher degree of spin rotation. Similarly, wider string spacing further amplifies its access to spin. The racquet is a little more flexible than the previous iteration which modifies the feel to be a touch more arm-friendly. The string pattern has also also been made more open (now 16x18) which would further enlarge the sweet spot for more consistent comfort as well as bringing easier access to spin.
Combined with the core technologies and the updates, this racquet is fantastic option for many players who want to maximize their power and spin with a snappy and lighter-weight feel.

- 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.
- Spin Boost+ Grommets: a dynamic set of spin-enhancing grommets that work with the new spin boost string tech pattern to offer players more spin, power and control. The grommets allow more string movement, which creates ‘bite’ on the ball, thus generating a spin rotation. The extra movement makes the string bed more forgiving, effectively enlarging the sweet spot.
- Spin Boost String Tech: an innovative enlargement of the string bed that creates more even power distribution and spin generation.
- V-Energy Shaft: a unique V shape frame geometry in the shaft area of the racquet, which greatly enhances frame stability and racquet power.
