Who this racket is for

The Dunlop Aero-Star targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its diamond shape moves the sweet spot to the top of the face, giving more leverage and power at the cost of some tolerance. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The hard build favours explosive shots, especially bandeja and smash, but demands more technique. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

Cons

✗Reduced sweet spot demands precise contact point — little margin for error
