Do you attack the net at every opportunity? Then the Dunlop 400G is certainly worthy of your consideration. Its medium weight and head-light balance make the racquet exceptionally maneuverable, while the stiff construction adds punch to volleys. Advanced doubles players and serve-and-volleyers applauded the 400G's net assets. "It was so easy to swing I could get to my volleys a split second faster and put a lot more balls away," a 4.5 player said. The 400G also offered plenty of power on serves and overheads-- two staple strokes if you're going to be a threat at the net. Players said that the racquet had a nice blend of power and control from the baseline. But that's also where they noticed the 400G's one major drawback: It felt unforgiving on off-center hits.

BOTTOM LINE
A fine net-worker for serve-and-volleyers.
