The new Dunlop FX 2026 has landed, and Jack Draper is the face of its next chapter. Built for the modern power game, this racket gives players more pace, feel, and control from every part of the court. It is the latest step in a partnership between Dunlop, the LTA, and Pro:Direct Tennis, who joined forces at the National Tennis Centre to celebrate its launch.
On February 21, 2025, Pro:Direct Tennis spent the day courtside with Draper and Dunlop to explore what the FX 2026 really means for his game. Hosted by tennis coach Ashley Neaves, the session looked at how small technical choices can shape a player's entire style.
Tension, Touch, and Adaptability
Draper's control does not come by chance. His approach to string tension is methodical and responsive.
"I usually play between 52 and 54 pounds," he says. "If it's cold, I'll drop it a bit to get more bounce. At altitude, I'll go higher to keep the ball down. I'll have seven rackets in my bag, each with slightly different tension. It's about having options."
That constant fine-tuning gives him confidence in every condition. Despite all the precision, Draper keeps his philosophy clear. That mindset reflects what Dunlop builds into the FX 2026 series. Reliability, not noise. A frame that rewards consistency and encourages progression.
