Dunlop Tennis Rackets, Balls & Padel

Dunlop has been making tennis equipment since 1910 and its Fort ball is one of the longest-running tennis balls in the sport. The modern range spans junior rackets sized by age, bulk coaching balls, mini tennis nets and a growing padel line.

At McSport Ireland we stock Dunlop for clubs, coaches and schools — particularly the graded Nitro junior rackets that take a player from age 5 to adult.

Junior rackets — Nitro in 21in (ages 5 to 7), 23in (7 to 9), 25in (9 to 12) and 27in (13 and up)
Tennis balls — Fort TS tubes of 3, 60-ball training buckets, mini orange buckets and indoor foam balls
Nets and posts — 3m and 6m mini tennis and badminton net and post sets
Padel — Rocket Tour and Megamax padel rackets plus Pro padel ball tubes

Dunlop: common questions

What size tennis racket does my child need? Use age and height as a guide: 21in for ages 5 to 7, 23in for 7 to 9, 25in for 9 to 12, and a full-size 27in from age 13. The racket head should sit just off the ground when held at the side.

What is the difference between a padel and a tennis racket? A padel racket has no strings — it is a solid, perforated composite bat with a shorter handle. Padel is played on an enclosed court with walls in play, using a slightly lower-pressure ball.

How many balls does a coaching session need? A 60-ball bucket is the standard coaching unit — enough for a full feeding drill without stopping to collect. Compare mini tennis stages with the Zsig and Slazenger ranges.
