The Aerogel 500 features an all new frame design for Dunlop. The 100sq. inch headsize and aero beam design are a perfect fit for this fast and responsive racquet. Well suited to aggressive players, the Aerogel 500 performs exceptionally well in the hands of players with aggressive swing speeds who like to hit with pace and spin. The 16/18 string pattern offers plenty of bite on the ball and combined with the light swingweight (306 RDC), the Aerogel 500 is a very spin friendly racquet. From the baseline the racquet feels very maneuverable with easy access to fast swing speeds. The feel from the stringbed is very crisp and clean with a comfortable response, overall. The maneuverable feel of the racquet translates well to volleying. At the net the racquet feels very fast - ideal for fast volley exchanges. The light weight and easy swinging nature means there's plenty of room to add weight for customization without making the racquet unwieldy. All in all an impressive racquet well suited to players who like to attack from a variety of court positions. Well suited to 4.0+ level players.
