Dunlop updates player frames with Biomimetic Tech

The two rackets use Dunlop’s three signature Biomimetic technologies: Aeroskin, HM6 Carbon and Gecko Tac grip. (To read more on those technologies, see accompanying press release). Here’s a breakdown of these two new rackets:

The Biomimetic 100 is the perfect racket for advanced players who require the utmost in control and maneuverability from a 90sq. inch head size. The 100 allows players with a full swing to attack the ball while maintaining accuracy.

The racket is constructed with 100% premium Aerogel enhanced graphite and features Dunlop’s Biomimetic technologies: HM6 Carbon, which enhances the racket’s feel; Aeroskin, which reduces aerodynamic drag making the racket faster through the air; and Gecko-Tac grip, which greatly reduces slippage in the most challenging of conditions

At 349 grams (strung), the 200 Tour delivers a solid and stable feel for players with long swings, capable of generating their own power. The racket features an open string pattern (16x18), which helps generate spin on a variety of shots. The racket’s sky blue accents stand out beside the chrome cosmetic.

Hunter Hines, Tennis Product Manager for Dunlop Sports Group Americas, said, “Throughout the years, Dunlop has always had a core group of advanced players who are true aficionados of our 100 and 200 Tour models. For 2011, we’ve updated those rackets with Biomimetic technologies that give players access to greater racket head speed, added power and a more stable feel, without sacrificing the legendary control for which they’re known.”
