Dunlop's evolution of the M-Fil label has just arrived in Europe, and is still making the slow trek to the US and Australia. With the Aerogel, Dunlop decided to revert back to the feel of the Hotmelt series, that chunkier look, rather than the slim and flimsy, yet stiff, look of the M-Fil.
'Space-age-ness' aside, in our opinion, this has made the Pro GT (the main Aerogel racquet) one of the better racquets on the market. With a good technique, the Pro GT can deliver ball bursting speed, but in delicate hands can touch succulent drops into the nether regions of the court.
The handle is pretty standard Dunlop, nothing special there, and the racquet feels very very stiff to use. Head is the regular Tour shape oval. Out of the wrapper though, the the racquet doesn't do itself justice. The grip feels deceptively good, its actually bad, and the strings can best not be described at all. I cracked some Technifibre 225 on the one I tried and the racquet improved 5 fold!
This racquet is must get for anyone not sure what they want, or for fans of old school Dunlop Hotmelt Pro or C-Melt. If your looking for one in Europe, then you probably know where to get it, in Australia, try Racquet Force, and in the US, wait because its coming in August.
