Kai Nitsche, Vice President and General Manager of Dunlop Racket Sports, said, “Since their launch at the U.S. Open, our Biomimetic rackets have been exceptionally well received by our dealers, consumers, and the Dunlop Tour Team. We have added a completely redesigned string line to complement the Biomimetic rackets, and based on the feedback we’ve received from playtesters, these new strings are far superior to anything we’ve produced before. With that in mind, we are eager to have consumers try them — especially in a new Biomimetic racket.”
