Dunlop Boost Power 2.0 2021

Introduction

The Dunlop Boost Power 2.0 is a heavy tear-shaped racket for strong, experienced players who want solid control and comfort.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives a balanced blend of power and control, but the high weight tilts it toward control. You'll feel the head weight on every swing, which adds stability but demands strength.

This balance makes it less agile at the net, so you'll need to be deliberate with your movements.

Grip

The standard handle fits comfortably in your hand, and the weight helps with stability. However, the heaviness can fatigue your arm faster in a long match.

You'll want a good overgrip for sweat, but overall, it feels solid and secure.

Power & Control

With power at 6.8, it's not a cannon, but you can still hit through the court if you swing properly. The control score of 7 shows it's more about placement than brute force.

You'll enjoy this racket if you like to set up points and finish with precision rather than relying on raw power.

Comfort & Speed

The medium-soft feel and EVA Ultra Soft core make it comfortable on impact, especially for your elbow. But the 5.9 maneuverability means it's slow to swing.

In defense, you'll struggle to react quickly. This racket rewards players who can prepare early and play a more measured game.

Materials & Durability

It's built with graphite on the frame and faces, which is standard and holds up well. The EVA Ultra Soft core is plush but won't break down quickly.

Durability looks good for regular play, but the soft feel might not suit everyone.

Analysis

This racket weighs up to 375 grams, so it feels heavy in your hand. You need good technique and preparation to swing it effectively. The low maneuverability score of 5.9 means it's not quick at the net, so you'll struggle in fast exchanges.

The sweet spot is small (6.1), so off-center hits will feel unstable. That's a real trade-off for the solid control and rebound you get. But if you can find the middle, the 7.7 rebound gives you decent ball speed without extra effort.

Power is middling at 6.8, which matches its tear shape—not a brute, not a noodle. Control is solid at 7, so you can place shots well. This racket favors a classic, patient game rather than aggressive smashing.

It's not for beginners or casual players. The weight and demanding nature will punish you. Only pick this up if you're committed to improving your game.
