Dunlop Aerogel 500 Tour Tennis Racquet The Dunlop Aerogel 500 Tour is part of the next generation of ‘tweener racquets that combines proven M-Fil technology with Aerogel to deliver an unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased crispness. Expect the same great performance found in the M-Fil series of racquets, now with the improved feel and feedback provided by Aerogel.
Geared to the intermediate to advanced player, the Dunlop Aerogel 5 Hundred Tour features specifications that would fall into the category of a ‘tweener (in between power and control/in between midsize and oversize). A more-generous sweetspot than the AeroGel 200 and 300, but without sacrificing feel. Ideal for a moderate to fast swing, the AeroGel 500 Tour works well for the player who prefers a ‘tweener with a slightly heavier heft. Great spin potential, maneuverability, and a little more pop remain strong features of the AeroGel 500 Tour.
Aerogel is the worlds lightest solid and has a strength of up to 4,000 its own weight. The three-dimensional nanometer-sized molecular network delivers an unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased power. Combined with M-Fil (multi-filament) technology across the hitting zone to soften ball impact, Aerogel frames deliver the perfect balance between power and control.

Customer Review: Great racket
Most people have varying playing styles and so there are different rackets to make the most of the way you play. Personally, the Aerogel 200 is my favorite by far. The string pattern can be rather tight, but you can make up for this, if you like, by using a string with a smaller gauge (ie: 17 gauge or 18 gauge, rather than 16 gauge). Great for flat hits for me, though, and my serves with this racket were quite satisfactory. As always, one should probably demo a racket before buying it. A similar racket I recommend to try, if you like or are considering this racket is the Babolat Pure Storm.
Customer Review: Frame of the Year
Dunlop added space age material, Aerogel to it’s new frames. The Aerogel is strategically placed to give lightweight stiffness at specific points on the frame. James Blake and Thomas Berdych both use this frame. Midsize head, great control with the 18/20 string pattern. A real solid players frame of the future.
