The Dunlop Predator 40. I think this is the predecessor of the Dunlop Fusion 70.

How we measure

Power and control scores derive from manufacturer 1–10 ratings when published, normalized to our 0–100 catalog scale.

Maneuver scores weight strung mass and balance point against the full catalog distribution.

Missing metrics stay blank — we do not invent lab numbers.
