Dunlop FX 500 Limited Edition Black

A limited black edition of Dunlop’s FX 500, combining the familiar 300g power-frame platform with a much more understated cosmetic. The frame itself is marked Limited Edition Series and features Dunlop’s POWER BOOST+ GROOVE construction.

Playing profile

The FX 500 is built for easy acceleration, controllable power and a modern all-court response. A 100 sq in head and open 16x19 pattern give it a forgiving hitting area and useful access to spin, while the 300g unstrung weight keeps the frame quick enough for aggressive baseline play and fast exchanges.

What it feels like

Fast, lively and powerful, with a more direct response than softer comfort-led frames. It suits players who want help generating depth without moving into an oversized or ultra-light platform.

Best suited to

• Intermediate to advanced players looking for a versatile 300g power frame.
• Baseline players who want easy depth and spin from a 100 sq in head.
• Players who like the FX 500 platform but prefer a clean, all-black limited cosmetic.
• Collectors looking for a less common Dunlop edition that remains fully playable.

Consider another frame if

Look toward a smaller or denser control frame if you want a lower launch and less free power. Players prioritising maximum softness may also prefer a more flexible platform.

Stringing direction

The FX 500 already provides easy depth, so a controlled polyester or a balanced hybrid is a sensible starting point for stronger hitters. Players seeking more comfort can move toward a softer poly or hybrid rather than increasing tension aggressively.
