Dunlop Gravity 2019

The Dunlop Gravity 2019 sits squarely in the power-oriented end of Dunlop's padel range. Its teardrop shape and high balance signal a racket that shifts energy into the ball, while the glossy black faces and cobalt-accented logo give it a purposeful, understated look on court.

Beyond cosmetics, the Gravity's hole layout and compact contact point help extend usable hitting zones on the face, which supports more confident overheads and aggressive returns. With an expert rating of 8.3, the model reads as a performance option for players who want a lively, attack-leaning tool rather than an all-level companion.

This Dunlop Gravity 2019 padel racket is aimed at advanced and pro-level players who play an aggressive game and need extra punch on serves, smashes and attacking volleys. The combination of high balance and a 360–375 g weight range favors players who already have consistent technique and want to add power to their overheads.

It’s listed toward a male demographic and will suit adults comfortable with a slightly heavier, head-biased feel; beginners and casual players may find the profile less forgiving than more neutral rackets.

Power is the headline for the Dunlop Gravity 2019. The teardrop shape moves the sweet spot slightly higher on the face and, together with the high balance, concentrates mass where it helps generate speed and ball rebound on overheads and attacking shots.

The compact contact point and the multidimensional hole pattern increase the racket’s ability to produce sharp, punchy strikes on trays and volleys, making it a clear option for players who build points around fast, finishing shots rather than extended baseline exchange.

Despite its head-leaning balance and a 360–375 g range, the Gravity 2019 remains reasonably manageable through the swing. Experienced players will appreciate that it recovers quickly enough at the net to handle rapid exchanges, while the medium hardness keeps ball contact predictable.

Control isn’t its primary claim, but the textured face and compacted contact point help players place aggressive shots with authority. Expect a trade-off: the added power can demand tighter timing to keep aggressive strokes on target.

Face: Carbon and Graphite — the mixed carbon/graphite faces bring stiffness and snap, contributing to the racket’s lively rebound and power-oriented character. These materials also support a durable, stable hitting surface.

Core: EVA — the EVA core in a medium hardness offers a balance between impact response and some shock absorption; it helps turn face stiffness into usable punch rather than an overly harsh hit. Surface: Textured — the textured finish aids bite on the ball for sharper attacking spins and improved control on aggressive strokes.

On impact the Dunlop Gravity 2019 feels lively and direct. The carbon/graphite face gives a crisp response, and the medium EVA core reduces excessive vibration while still delivering a responsive, slightly firm contact.

Players will notice the racket’s tendency to amplify overheads and put more pace into volleys and serves; the textured surface provides a touch more grip on the ball, so aggressive spins and angled finishes come through with confidence rather than mushy feedback.

High balance and the 360–375 g range boost power but require good timing and shoulder strength to control over long sessions. Players who prefer a completely neutral, forgiving feel may find this racket less comfortable.

Medium hardness balances comfort and responsiveness, but it won’t absorb as much impact as softer cores—expect a firmer feel on harder strikes. Because the model targets advanced players, its window for error is smaller than that of beginner-friendly rackets.

• High balance favors overhead power but can feel head-heavy in extended rallies.
• Weight range (360–375 g) provides stability but may be heavy for some players.
• Medium core hardness delivers responsive feedback at the expense of some dampening.
• Best suited to players with consistent technique; less forgiving for beginners.
