4D Braided™: 4D stands for 4 directional braiding. It is constructed using four braided fibers of superight S-glass fiber wrapped in an aluminum alloy sheath. The fibers are aligned at 0, 90, 22 and -22 degree orientations which enables stresses to be supported in multi directions whereas standard carbon sheets are only oriented in one direction. This means that one layer of 4D material has the equivalent properties to four layers of standard carbon layed up at four different orientations. Consequently 4D material is four times more effective than standard carbon. Furthermore, by using one layer, 4D is also softer and less bulky than 4 layers of carbon.

At 5 and 7 o'clock the multi-directional properties of the 4D braided cloth help stabilize the torsional twist at key points of the racquet providing enhanced stability and increased control.

At 3 and 9 o'clock one layer of 4D braided cloth provides the torsional stability previously only achievable with several layers of carbon fiber. As a result of only one layer being used instead of several, this softer material also provides superb touch and feel at ball contact.

Aerogel Technology: The world's lightest solid and has a strength of up to 4,000 its own weight. The three-dimensional nanometer-sized molecular network delivers an unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased power.

        Comments about Dunlop Aerogel 4D 500 Lite (5Hundred Lite):

        I like this racket for serving because it is so light I can get lots of racket speed. Do not get tired after playing and serving for 2 and a half or 3 hours. The lightness is good for quick racket movement while volleying and other times but does not pack as much of a punch as a heavier racket. Great feel and touch on slices and drop shots. I am a guy who does not like to make unforced errors so this racket works well for me.

            Comments about Dunlop Aerogel 4D 500 Lite (5Hundred Lite):

            I bought this for my 9 year old girl. She plays in tournaments and needed a good racket but she is only 9. the 500 lite is perfect and will be for a couple of years. If you are not young, a small woman or give clinics I think this racket would be too light. If not at first you would out grow it too fast. If you are one of the above I highly recommend it. Also I had it strung at 53 lbs and I'm very pleased with it. You should order spare bumper guards with it because they dont make it anymore.
