The Megamax is Dunlop's beginner racket: the round head shape offers a large sweet spot, and the low balance makes it easy to handle. A graphite frame, fibreglass face and Pro EVA core add up to a soft, controlled feel. The smooth surface and the straight hole pattern are designed for precision.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; the low balance makes it feel more manoeuvrable than its weight suggests. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 4 and control 7 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 9.6 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 78% of the round models in our comparison. 5 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €50.21 to €59.98 – a €10 difference for the same model.

Our classification: Beginner. Its forgiveness is 9.6 out of 10 – very forgiving, large sweet spot.
The Dunlop Megamax Green weighs 365 g and has a round shape, a low (manoeuvrable) balance and a soft core (EVA Pro). The frame is made of Graphit + Fiberglas.
Not by our rule: 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
