The Dunlop Rapid Control 4.0 is the control version of Dunlop’s Rapid line: a graphite frame, an EVA core, a 38 mm profile, a weight of 360 g (12.7 oz) and a medium balance in a black and gold finish. The US listing places it in the Dunlop Performance Series and aims it at beginners and occasional players, and it costs about $79.
It is the sibling of the teardrop Dunlop Rapid Power, and the US listing showed three units left at the time of writing. This review covers the build, the specs, the shape question, how it should play, who should buy it and what to buy if it sells out.
