Jack Draper is a rising star from the United Kingdom. But what is Jack Draper’s racquet? He endorses the Dunlop FX 500.
In 2024, Draper is having the best year of his career and truly showing his potential as a tennis player.
Draper’s racquet
Jack Draper’s racquet looks like a Dunlop FX 500, but as for many pros using pro stock racquets, there is something else underneath the cosmetic. I got the chance to take a closer look at his racquets at the Boss Open in 2024 and this is definitely not the Dunlop FX 500 or Dunlop FX 500 Tour you buy in a store. But that is not saying these racquets are bad, it is just what the player gets used to early on in his career. You can check out the Dunlop FX range at Tennis Warehouse, Tennis Warehouse Europe or Tennis Only.
According to the Tennis Warehouse forums, it is a Dunlop Revo CV 3.0 F Tour. He has it customized with lead tape in the throat and under the grommets to 320 grams unstrung and strings it with Luxilon Alu Power 1.25. I am unfamiliar with his swing weight or other specifications. If you know, please comment below.
The retail specs of the Revo CV 3.0 F Tour are listed below.

The main difference between the Revo racquet and the FX 500 Tour that Alexei Popyrin uses, is that the string pattern is more open the new 500 Tour. Pros tend to like denser string patterns to achieve more control.
