Launch Pad: Dunlop
Ground-breaking Technology Launched
Dunlop Sport has once again raised the bar with their latest Biomimetic product range – set for release this November.
Biomimetic means to “imitate life” and the concept is based around the study of nature and how organisms have evolved over millions of years to become highly optimised and efficient in their chosen environment. This has inspired the design of the latest range and has resulted in Dunlop producing 3 brand new racket technologies – Aeroskin, Gecko-Tac and HM6 Carbon – helping to create the ultimate range of performance rackets The Biomimetic range enables the best players in the game to continually perform at their peak with Dunlop’s heritage and quality products making them the brand of choice for some of the world’s highest ranked players - including Nikolay Davydenko, Fernando Verdasco and Jurgen Melzer.
Here’s a breakdown of the new technologies:

Biomimetic 500 Tour
Aeroskin technology is inspired by Sharkskin. A Shark’s skin is covered in microscopic riblets which create localised turbulence reducing drag. The Aeroskin technology is applied to the surface of the racket, reducing aerodynamic drag by up to 25%. The reduction in drag enhances both racket speed and power.
Gecko-Tac technology is inspired by the feet
of a Gecko. The Gecko-Tac grip provides up to 50% more grip and tack than previous Dunlop grips, giving players greater control and precision with their racket.
HM6 Carbon technology is inspired by Honeycomb. Ultra high modulus carbon fibres have been engineered in to hexagonal sheets and placed between layers of Aerogel enhanced

carbon. Forces are evenly distributed through the HM6 material on ball impact which reduces unwanted frequencies and frame vibrations by up to 10%. The performance benefit of this is enhanced racket feel
Ben Fell, Head of Marketing &
Communications for Dunlop, said, “We are incredibly proud of the new technologies used in the Biomimetic range. Dunlop has always been at the height of product innovation, and we believe that the new range goes beyond anything done before in the industry. We’ve had fantastic feedback from our sponsored players, and are looking forward to seeing the results of the improved rackets out on the court.”
