Product Information

Full details

The Dunlop FX Start Jack Draper Tennis Racket is an official ATP TOUR-endorsed junior frame specifically designed for young athletes looking to transition into more competitive play. It offers an excellent balance of power, control, and comfort, helping developing players hone their technique with a forgiving, lightweight construction; however, parents should note that as a dedicated junior-sized racket, it will eventually need to be replaced with a full-sized adult frame as the player matures and grows.

FAQs

Is this racket suitable for a total beginner?

Yes, its forgiving design and lightweight frame make it an excellent choice for children who are just starting their tennis journey.

Does it come with a case?

Yes, each racket includes a dedicated head cover equipped with a carry strap.

Is the racket already strung?

Yes, it arrives pre-strung and ready for immediate play.

Who is the Jack Draper series intended for?

It is designed specifically for junior players looking for a professional-inspired frame to help refine their skills.

How do I know when it's time to move to a larger racket?

When the player outgrows the frame size or develops enough strength to require the added stability and weight of an adult-sized racket.

Troubleshooting

Strings feeling loose or losing tension

This is common with pre-strung rackets over time; consider a professional restringing with a mid-range synthetic gut to extend the playability.

Frame feels dusty or slippery

Wipe the grip and frame with a soft, dry cloth; if the grip has lost its tackiness, consider adding an overgrip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction prevents strain for junior players
  • Larger sweet spot aids in consistency and confidence
  • Includes a functional head cover with strap
  • Professional ATP TOUR branding increases appeal for competitive juniors
  • Ready to use immediately due to pre-strung setup

Cons

  • Limited to junior physical specifications
  • Requires eventual upgrade as the child grows
  • Designed primarily for skill development rather than professional adult-level intensity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Dunlop FX Start is sold pre-strung, so there is no immediate setup required. To maintain the frame's integrity, store the racket in the included head cover when not in use to protect the strings from temperature fluctuations and the frame from accidental scratches. Avoid leaving the racket in direct heat, such as inside a car, as extreme heat can warp the frame or affect the tension of the strings. If the racket becomes dirty after outdoor play, simply wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry.
