Description

Who this racket is for
The Dunlop Nitro Naranja suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. 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 medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. Its 355-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
