Dunlop Explosive Tour Tennis String The Dunlop Explosive Tour is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament built for competitive players who demand the extreme spin, control, and durability that define the modern tour string category. Heat-treated during manufacturing to tighten its internal structure and increase tensile strength, the Explosive Tour goes beyond a standard co-poly in its ability to maintain tension through extended play while generating the sharp string movement and snap-back that produce tour-level topspin. The rounded profile reduces string-on-string friction for cleaner contact during aggressive topspin groundstrokes, and the silver-grey colorway reflects the string's premium positioning in Dunlop's performance lineup. Co-Polyester Monofilament Construction — Single-strand co-poly monofilament provides the firm, control-oriented response that modern baseline players build their games around — limiting power transmission to maximize placement precision while generating the string deflection that explosive topspin requires. Heat-Treated for Superior Tension Maintenance — The proprietary heat-treatment process during manufacturing tightens the co-poly's internal molecular structure, producing a string that maintains its tension significantly longer than untreated polyester — a critical advantage for players who restring infrequently and want consistent performance across extended playing periods. Explosive Spin Generation — Rounded monofilament profile reduces friction at string crossings, allowing main strings to move freely during ball contact and snap back rapidly to their original position after each shot — the string movement that generates the aggressive topspin modern baseline play demands. Tour-Level Durability — Co-poly monofilament construction resists the notching and breakage that shorten the life of multifilament and natural gut strings, particularly for hard-hitting players who generate significant string friction through aggressive topspin mechanics and frequent high-velocity groundstrokes. Available in 16G (1.30mm) and 17G (1.25mm) — The heavier 16G gauge increases durability and tension maintenance for hard hitters, while 17G's thinner profile enhances bite and spin for players willing to trade some durability for sharper topspin generation at the point of contact. Silver/Grey Colorway — Premium Tour Positioning — The distinctive silver-grey color gives the Explosive Tour a premium, professional appearance that reflects its positioning at the top of Dunlop's performance string lineup.
