Who this racket is for

The dunlop impact xtreme red intro carbon is a versatile racket that fits several player profiles. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys.
