Dunlop M-Fil 300

RedFlea. I think my local sports authority still have one 4 3/8 and one 4 1/4 M-Fil 300s on the shelf for $59.99. Check their website for locations, could be one near you.

I have four or five MF300s right now, so I'm good there, thanks. :)

Jonolau and I talking about the AG200 16x19, which is not available in the US from retailers.

Oh man...do NOT tempt me! (But I am tempted.) My birthday is coming up in a bit, but given that I've accumulated, what, 8 racquets in the past 8 months, I'm wondering if I need another racquet, or intensive counseling... :D I know what my generally very understanding wife would say...

You haven't hit the M-Fil 200 16x19, have you? I'd really like a comparison on maneuverability between the two. If the AG was a little more maneuverable, that would be towards what I wanted...they are both 7pts head light, and strung weight is almost the same (AG a few grams more), so I'm thinking they may be very similar in that aspect...

I haven't hit with the MF200 yet, so, you're right, I wouldn't be able to give a comparison between them both. But one of my playing buddies has the MF200, so I might just take his out for a spin in the next couple of weeks and will post my thoughts once I have the opportunity...

I see myself playing the devil's advocate here ... ;)

Really?! The 200 16x19? Cool...if you get to give it a hit, I look forward to your comparison. Lord help me... :)
 
I've been searching for the MF3s in 4 1/4 size...what if I can't find it? What's the next best Dunlop racquet? The Aerogel? I've heard many great things about it, and I've heard many not-so-great things...

The AG is over two times the cost of the MF...I'd look online to other vendors first.

Have you demo'd the MF300 or AG300? I would not buy w/out demoing unless you're happy to "eat" the cost of a racquet (or have to sell it used) if you find out you don't like it.

Don't forget some rest to let your muscle heal, and consider some strengthening exercises.

Dropping tension and/or moving to a more forgiving string can help. Form is also important...make sure your mechanics aren't out of whack.

Coming back again to give an update on my status with my arm. I moved to using an Wilson NXT 16 sting on my M-Fil 300, feels much better. Also I added about 3g inside the butcap. This two things help with arm problem, but it was my mechanics on the serve that were giving me the pain. So I fix the problem and my arm isn't hurting anymore, and my gave as improved.

Thanks Guys for the advice.
 
Very good to hear, Frank, thanks for the update. Always nice to have a good recovery.

NXT is a very comfy string, but I've found it goes away too quickly for me. Some other comfy but durable options include:

- Technifibre X-1 Biphase
- Klip Excellerator
- Alpha Sphere (available on newtechtennis.com)

The Klip and Alpha are more durable than the X-1. All of them are very comfy, and will outlast the NXT.

I'd also encourage you to experiment a bit w/tension as well...I dropped all the way down to 50lbs on my MF300s, and found that the comfort, pocketing, and feel improved as I reduced tension.
 
I use the Dunlop M-Fil 300 at stock settings and I love it. It is very solid which was not expected due to it's weight but it's just awesome.
 
I bought a pair of mfil300s and the bag too and it plays awesome. The feel was impossibly good! I could control the ball and put it almost anywhere I wanted. I absolutely loved it. It's absolutely insane how I can be infatuated with a racket, but I really was...My two handed backhands down the line were unreal. I pulled the trigger anytime I wanted...

Same here. I don't really bother to play around with lead weights, but there is nothing wrong with experimenting around to customize the frame as you see fit.

It's definitely a very solid racquet stock and great for counter-punching too. What I like best about it is the low swingweight where I can swing hard and fast on groundstrokes to make use of my opponents' pace to blast the ball in return.
 
What are some really reliable outlets to buy these? I do not have any Sports Authority stores around me...and every site on the internet does not have my grip size. Thank you!
 
jonolau, how is the grip shape difference between dunlop and volkl..?
as i am looking for the substitude of dnx-10 mid after 2 hrs play.. looking for less demanding racquet, will the m-fil 200 16x19, m-fil 300 be a good replacement? how does it compre to the 10mid and dnx9 in power, sweetspot,swing weight.....?
thanks...

Hi Sam,

I find the grip shape on Volkl to be more rectangular.

I've not really played with the M-Fil 200 but I have the Aerogel 200 16x19. The AG200 sits very nicely between the DNX10 Mid and DNX9. The AG200 is 95 sq in, and the swingweight is not too bad, heavy enough to get plough through and stability on volleys. It is also light enough with a lower swingweight than the DNX10 mid to swing about and not feel tired.

Sweetspot of the AG200 is definitely much bigger than the DNX10, and surprisingly, also slightly larger than the DNX9. Off centre hits also aren't as jarring, and there is a nice amount of vibration absorption with the AG200.

Hope this helps.

Jon
 
oh my god, i dont believe it! i am back to the MF3 AGAIN!! i have been switching back and forth with this racket for ages! i play well with it, i love how it plays like a heavier racket, but in a lighter package, but always tell myself that it is TOO light! though i never actually feel the weaknesses of alight racket during play!? i guess i will try out a little lead tape, but i dont want to bump up the swingweight too much, or reduce the spin availability, i play with a fair amount of spin. will update as soon as i can!
 
You could play with different strings/tensions. I've been messing with mine and have found that strings I used on babolats act different on this one, of course that could be the string pattern 16x19 over 18x20.

Just strung two up with ashaway dynamite 17 @ 59 and 56
got one newly strung with mfil 16 tour @ 60 last night and
will get the other one strung either identical or with lower tension (57 or 56 not sure yet) for this upcoming weekend tournament.

Amazing how much i did like the mfil tour but now the racquet acts totally different with the dynamite! I LIKE IT! lots of power and spin, great combo!

thanks jon......
how about the m-fil 300....? compare to dnx-10 mid and 9
thanks again

The MF300 is so mcuh easier to play than the DNX10 mid and DNX9. If you've played with previous Volkl models before, the feel of the MF300 comes closest to the Catapult 10. In fact, almost identical.

The MF300 has a nice balance of control and power on groundstrokes. The lower swingweight also makes it so maneuverable with easy transitions between FH and 1HBH.

Serves are so much easier than the 9 and 10, can get pinpoint accuracy with good amount of pace.

Volleys on the MF300 are also more stable and doesn't really have the irritating pinging like the Volkls.
 
You're welcome, Sam.

I really think it's worth the money, and even if you find it unsuitable, it won't burn such a big hole in the pocket!!

Hey guys, I see you're still going strong. I think I liked the 60# better than the 55# I'm using now. I guess I don't like the power. :)

Good to see you're still around! Yes, I've also found 60lb is a great tension to play with, even with full poly. Gives a good amount of control.

No! ;)

Mark...you need to drop to 50lbs...that's nirvana. :)

Oh well, I guess everyone can't live w/me at the low end.

Just when I was prepared to have my sister (who's in the US now) buy me a couple M-Fils ...just for the fun of it ... and some lead experimenting ... there are no 3/8 grips left available at TW :|.
Anyway...with regards to the "pinging" in the Volkls...I played with the DNX 10 Mid's for more than a year, and (with a rubber band) I find it a "far from pingy" racket. In my experience it's quite "thumpy" actually. Never played the DNX 9 to compare though ...
Anyway ... since the M-Fil is no longer available at tw in my grip size ... I had my sister order a couple of Tour 10 Gen 1's which are apparently available again at TW for 99 bucks (it's all NBMJ's fault anyway ! ! ! :p ). Never played that "classic" and can't wait for her to get here with them :P ( I really need to stop this demo madness !)
Anyway ... this means I was ALMOST a member of your club ... but not quite :P (I have a feeling I would prefer the AG 200 16x19 that I already own anyway ... but there you have it :P).

Hello, everyone. Just purchased three M-fil 300's from my local sporting goods store for $60/each. Wow, what a deal!! Double bonus, they were already factory strung!! Do you still have room for me in the club? Thanks and take care.

Jonolau, as you know from our last board meeting, all discount memberships are sold out. We do have several Platinum memberships available, luckily, so (for an inordinate amount of money) I"m sure we can welcome Tim into the fold.

Oops...I meant to only think the part in parentheses... ;)

Welcome, Tim...lucky deal for you. Congrats, and I hope you like them.
 
Yesterday

Both Haas and Blake have Aerogels. Dunlop/Slazenger must have been ecstatic about that match. The MF3 has given me a .500 season in the 50's tourneys. No desire to change.

Hey boat. Way to go man, and welcome to the boards if you havn't been welcomed yet? I am not an MF300 user, but I always look around when it is mentioned..

Kindly add me to the list. I just bought two at a close out price from the local chain. Now, tonight I will be cutting out the stock strings and replacing them with Kirschbaum Proline 2 mains and Gosen Micro crosses both in 18G

Welcome to the club, mrw!!!
 
Just got me one of the mil fil 300

i absolutly love the racket since i got it,the only thing is i dont have that much power comin from it right now,it could be i just need some time to use it,but i was wondering whats the best place to place lead tape on the racket.
 
Read the TW rqcquet customization section - has info on adding lead. Generally, lead in the head will increase power, reduce maneuverability.

Strings/tension is the other option from an equipment perspective...lower tension and go to a multi or gut.

Flea, looks like the both of us balance this thread. You're an advocate of soft strings at low tension while I'm a proponent of stiff strings at higher tensions! ;)
