Key differences

Both are teardrop rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.

Feel: medium-soft for the Adidas RX Series 2026, medium for the Dunlop FX Hybrid Team 2026. Softer cores give easier depth at low speed and more comfort; harder cores reward fast swings with precision.
