Key differences

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

The Head Coello Team 2026 has a medium-high balance against medium for the Dunlop FX Team 2026, which changes how head-heavy it feels on overheads and how quick it is at the net.

Faces: Fiberglass versus Carbon.

The Dunlop FX Team 2026 is heavier (360–370 g vs 360 g), adding stability and power at the cost of manoeuvrability.
