Review of the Dunlop M-Fil Series
Remember, how we talked about Babolat changing the shape of their frames. Wee, Dunlop is using softer materials in theirs to make them more forgiving. That means, we can do more stupid things and make more mistakes and it doesn’t feel like we just grabbed a live electrical wire.
The new M-Fil series is the newest version of Johnny Mac’s Max 200G. This was obviously a 20 lb. war club used only by the top players. However, when I used it, it had remarkable touch. My arm was 3 inches longer at the end of the match, but great touch. They have added fiberglass and magnesium at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions to make the frame more flexible. Along with the multi-filament technology, they have made a frame that is really easy on the arm. This tends to give the player the feel of the older wood racquets.
The series has something for everyone in either the M-Fil 2 Hundred, M-Fil 3 Hundred, or M-Fil 7 Hundred. Knock it around for a few sets. For that person that is starting to feel that slight twinge in the elbow, only a few things you can do:
1.Take some time off.
2.Stretch, exercise, and ice.
3.Try this racquet plus 1 & 2
