Dunlop Iconic Touch Tennis String The Dunlop Iconic Touch is a premium multifilament string engineered around one overriding priority: maximum comfort for players who want the closest synthetic approximation of natural gut's plush, arm-friendly feel. PU-bonded construction, foil-coated inner filaments, and thick core fiber construction work together to produce a string with exceptional shock absorption and a soft, cushioned contact that reduces the impact transmission that causes arm discomfort during intensive play. For players recovering from arm injuries, players seeking to extend their active playing years, or players who simply prefer the comfort and power of a premium multifilament over the control-oriented firmness of polyester, the Iconic Touch delivers the standard in Dunlop's lineup. Maximum Comfort Multifilament Construction — Premium multifilament architecture prioritizes arm-friendly shock absorption above all else — the string choice for players with arm sensitivity, players returning from tennis elbow or shoulder injuries, and players who prioritize comfortable extended play over the control precision of co-polyester strings. PU-Bonded Fiber Construction — Polyurethane bonding holds hundreds of individual nylon microfibers together through their full working life, preventing the fiber separation and fraying that shorten lower-quality multifilament strings. PU bonding maintains the string's structural cohesion from stringing through extended playlife. Foil-Coated Inner Filaments — The distinctive foil-coated filaments within the string's inner layers enhance power transmission by reflecting energy back through the string bed at ball contact — adding a lively, spring-like quality to the string's response that makes it feel noticeably more powerful than softer multifilaments without the foil construction. Thick Core Filaments for Plush Feel — Larger-diameter core filaments provide the thick, cushioned feel that absorbs impact shock efficiently, reducing the harsh vibration at contact that synthetic monofilaments and even some multifilaments transmit to the arm during high-frequency ball contact in aggressive rally play. Natural Gut Feel at Synthetic Price — The Iconic Touch's comfort and power profile is specifically designed to approximate the feel characteristics of natural gut — the comfort standard that all multifilament strings compete against — at a price point that makes regular replacement practical for club players and competitive amateurs. Available in 16G and 17G — 16G provides durability and full-bodied feel for heavier hitters, while 17G's thinner profile delivers sharper touch and feel for players who prioritize the string's feedback response over extended playlife.
