I recently purchased two Dunlop Hotmelt 300g's. I wasn't really looking to make a switch from my Babolat ASGT's but the 300g's were so cheap I couldn't resist.
I strung them both with Solinco's Tour Bite-Vanquish hybrid at 55 lbs. I left one bone stock and added 2.5 grams of lead to the handle, a leather grip, and a total of 6 grams of lead at 3 and 9 o'clock to the other.
I played 3 sets of doubles with the stock 300g and really liked serves and volleys with it. Groundies were a little off, the ball seems to launch a little lower and with increased spin when compared to my ASGT's; nothing I couldn't get used to though. The sweetspot is definitely smaller than the Babolat's. Due to weather, I haven't been able to play with the modified 300g yet.
Does anyone else have a 300g set-up to recommend? Has anyone else played both the ASGT and the Hotmelt 300g?
