The Dunlop Impact PRO Hl Orange is aimed at advanced or pro-level players who value versatility. If you’re an experienced player who alternates between powering the point and constructing rallies with placement and spin, this racket will support that mixed approach.

The model is positioned toward men in Dunlop’s lineup, and it’s less aimed at total beginners who typically need lighter, softer entry-level frames to learn fundamentals. Expect it to suit players who already have a developed technique and want a single racket that adapts across roles on court.

The teardrop shape pushes the sweet spot slightly higher than a pure control frame, so it offers a touch more natural power when you accelerate through smashes and offensive volleys. Because balance is medium, that power is accessible without being unwieldy—hits feel controlled rather than launching wildly.

Overall the Dunlop Impact PRO Hl Orange leans toward a balanced offensive style: enough punch to finish points but enough modulation to play extended, tactical rallies when needed.

Medium balance helps the racket remain quick at the net and easy to redirect in fast exchanges. You’ll find the head isn’t so heavy that it slows down recovery or blocks quick hands, which helps on volleys and transition plays.

Control is reliable rather than surgical: placement is predictable, and the teardrop shape gives you a little extra margin on off-center strikes compared with high-pinpoint control heads.

Faces: Fiberglass — the fiberglass faces contribute to a softer, more forgiving contact than stiffer carbon surfaces, helping with touch and control during softer shots.

Core: EVA Medium — a medium-density EVA core strikes a balance between energy return and dampening, offering comfortable hits while still transferring enough force for effective attacking shots.

Hardness: Medium — combined with the materials above, the medium hardness keeps feedback pleasant without the sharp, firm response of harder cores.

• Fiberglass faces = forgiving touch and easier feel on softer shots
• EVA Medium core = balanced energy return and comfort
• Medium hardness = approachable feel for experienced players who don’t want a harsh contact

On court the Dunlop Impact PRO Hl Orange feels approachable and steady. The fiberglass face and medium EVA core combine for a pleasant, slightly damped impact that encourages confidence when placing shots and adding spin.

Because the balance sits in the middle, swings feel fluid and transitions from defense to offense are straightforward. You won’t get the very crisp, clicky feedback of a hard-core racket, but you do get a consistent, repeatable touch that helps in longer exchanges.

Being an advanced-level, medium-hardness racket means it won’t match the raw power of head-heavy or very stiff frames; players seeking maximum smash velocity might notice that difference. Similarly, players who prefer an extremely crisp response may find the fiberglass faces softer than they like.

Finally, while the model is versatile, that compromise approach won’t fully replace a highly specialized control or power racket for players who need a specific edge in tournament play.

• Less raw power than head-heavy, stiff competitors
• Softer face feel—not ideal if you want extremely crisp feedback
• Geared toward experienced players rather than complete beginners
