The Dunlop Aerogel 500 4D combines AeroGel and new 4D Braided technologies as part of the next generation of lighter-weight 'tweener racquets. M-Fil technology with Aerogel delivers an unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased crispness. Expect the same great performance found in the M-Fil series of racquets, now with the improved feel and feedback provided by Aerogel. 4D Braided technology has been added at strategic locations on the frame hoop, improving stability and greatly enhancing touch and feel.
Geared to the intermediate to advanced player, the Dunlop Aerogel 5 Hundred 4D features specifications that would fall into the category of a 'tweener (in between power and control/in between midsize and oversize). A more-generous sweetspot than the AeroGel 200 4D and 300 4D, but without sacrificing feel. Ideal for a moderate to fast swing, the AeroGel 500 4D works well for the player looking for great spin potential, maneuverability, and a little more pop on their shots.
Aerogel is the world’s lightest solid and has a strength of up to 4,000 its own weight. The three-dimensional nanometer-sized molecular network delivers an unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased power. Combined with M-Fil (multi-filament) technology across the hitting zone to ‘soften’ ball impact, Aerogel frames deliver the perfect balance between power and control.
Dunlop has further enhanced its Aerogel technology by taking it to the next dimension with 4D braiding. Four directional braided material is used at key points on the racket frame to significantly increase racket stability. 4D braiding at 5 and 7 o'clock to minimize frame torsion and increase control, while 4D braiding at 3 and 9 o'clock for increased stability and enhanced touch and feel. The results are exceptional racket control without sacrificing the established Dunlop racquet feel.
