Video overview
The Dunlop FX Team 2026 is a diamond-shaped power racket for intermediate players who want to develop an attacking game at the net and overhead.
- Shape: Diamond, with the mass and sweet spot high in the head for maximum power in attack.
- Level: Suits intermediate players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: Medium, an even feel between quickness in hand and punch on the ball.
- Weight: 365-380g, a sturdier build with more stability and weight behind the ball.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: Carbon construction at £109.99 is genuinely unusual - most rackets at this price use fiberglass - giving you a more stable frame and longer-lasting performance.
- Value: Carbon and a Pro EVA core at mid-price is a genuine step up from entry-level softness, though the diamond shape demands clean striking technique or you will lose accuracy.
- Carbon frame: A carbon (graphite) construction at this price is rare. It gives you a stiffer, more responsive frame than fiberglass, with better stability on powerful shots and longer durability. The trade is slightly firmer feel, though the foam core balances that.
- Pro EVA core: A medium-density foam that sits between soft entry-level EVA and very hard competition foam. You get consistent rebound and enough feel to control touch shots at the net, while still delivering pop on smashes and drives.
- Force Bridge technology: A reinforced bridge structure connecting the frame halves, adding rigidity through the hitting zone. This helps the racket stay stable during off-centre impacts and provides a solid base when you load up for power.
- SpinBoost textured surface: A roughened face that grips the ball during brushed contact, making it easier to generate topspin on drives and slice on volleys. Most effective when your swing path is already there - the texture amplifies technique.
- 38mm frame depth: A thicker profile than slim competition rackets, adding structural stiffness and a larger sweet spot. This helps with consistency and forgiveness at intermediate level, though it is not as manoeuvrable as thinner frames in fast exchanges.
- Power hole pattern: Drilling layout tuned for the diamond shape, concentrating holes toward the head for maximum trampoline effect on overhead smashes and aggressive volleys, while keeping enough structure for control on softer shots.

How can I guarantee next day delivery?

Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day. If you need something for a specific date, message us before ordering and we'll confirm it'll make it in time.
How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
