What players say
Dunlop Silk 16 is a multifilament that Tennis Warehouse customer reviewers describe as soft and comfortable, close to natural gut, with decent power and good touch on drop shots. Several players use it as a cross string paired with a poly main for a softer, more pocketed hybrid.
Best for
- Arm-sensitive players
- Cross string in a poly hybrid
- Players wanting gut-like feel at lower cost
- Touch and feel shots
Pros
- Soft, arm-friendly feel that several reviewers compare favorably to natural gut
- Works well as a cross string with poly, softening the stringbed and adding pocketing
- Good touch on drop shots and comfortable at the net
- Durable for a multifilament; one reviewer got about two months of play before it went dead
Cons
- One 4.0 player found it a little less powerful than expected
- Can feel harsh at first if strung at high tension
- No independent lab or editorial playtest found, only retailer customer comments
