The Dunlop FX Team 285 (2023 edition) is Dunlop's most affordable intermediate racquet, suited to everyone from novices to experienced players who want a competitive frame. It weighs 285 g unstrung, has a 325 mm head-light balance, a 100 in² (645 cm²) head, 27 inches and a 16x19 pattern, which gives a lively response and more access to spin. The variable 23/26/24 mm profile optimizes power and comfort, and the frame is more flexible, for a comfortable touch.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
