Dunlop Renegade Soft

The Renegade Soft is aimed at intermediate players—specifically marketed toward men—who want a single racket that covers most match situations without demanding perfect technique. If you’re progressing from beginner level and want to improve shot placement, spin control and rally tolerance, this is a pragmatic choice.

Players who prefer control over pure power, who value easy maneuverability and who fall within the 360–375 g weight bracket will find the feel familiar and confidence-building during match play.

As a teardrop-shaped, medium-balanced racket, the Dunlop Renegade Soft offers modest offensive pop rather than explosive power. The profile gives enough punch to finish points when you time the swing, but power is secondary to placement and constructed points.

That versatile game type means the racket is best used for controlled attacking—setting up opportunities with accurate drives and using positional advantages rather than relying on raw smashes to win points outright.

Medium balance combined with a 360–375 g range keeps the Renegade Soft easy to swing and responsive at the net. The overall weight range is light-to-moderate for intermediate players, which helps recover between volleys and react quickly in fast exchanges.

The rough surface aids spin generation, which supports more controlled topspin shots and angled placement. In short rallies and defensive situations the racket feels composed, letting players redirect pace and locate shots consistently.

The Dunlop Renegade Soft uses a fiberglass face over an EVA Pro core. Fiberglass faces tend to offer a slightly softer, more forgiving contact compared with stiffer woven surfaces, while EVA Pro cores balance responsiveness with shock absorption.

A rough surface is included to enhance ball grip for spin. Hardness is listed as medium, which aligns with the racket’s control-focused intent—firm enough for a reliable response but not so stiff that it punishes imperfect strikes.

On court the Renegade Soft feels composed and predictable. The medium hardness and fiberglass face deliver a forgiving contact that encourages clean ball striking and steady control during longer rallies.

Maneuverability is one of its strengths: the balance and weight range let players change direction quickly and position for volleys without feeling overburdened. Expect a comfortable, confidence-building feel rather than a loud, impact-heavy sensation.
