What players say
Independent player feedback on Dunlop Silk 17/1.22 is limited to a handful of customer reviews on Tennis Warehouse spanning 2012-2022. Most describe a very soft, comfortable multifilament with low power and good feel on groundstrokes, but durability is a recurring weak point and one reviewer found it stiff and unremarkable next to other premium multis.
Best for
- Arm-sensitive players wanting a soft multifilament
- Smaller, tighter string patterns (95 sq in or less)
- Players prioritizing feel over power
Pros
- Soft, comfortable feel that several reviewers compare favorably to natural gut
- Good touch and feel on groundstrokes
- Comfortable enough that reviewers recommend it for sore shoulders, elbows, and wrists
Cons
- Low power according to multiple reviewers
- Durability is inconsistent; one reviewer saw notching and movement after about 2 hours
- At least one reviewer found it stiff and mediocre in spin and power compared to Tecnifibre NRG2 17

Dunlop Silk is an excellent alternative to natural gut in terms of playability and feel.

This string is very soft. Great feel and low power.

Soft, less-powerful strings. Excellent for sore shoulders, elbows and wrists.

plays stiff and moves a lot ... for the money there are many better premium multis out there
