Dunlop AS-1

Advantages: Good balance between power and accuracy, large head size and durable.
Disadvantages: Power is limited when compared with other racquets that have a smaller throat.

...I have had this racquet for a few weeks now and must say that having got use to it now, it is an excellent racquet. I have swapped from using a 'Prince 03 tour' which was very different. The racquet I must say does not offer as much power as the Prince 03 however, if you were to restring the racquet this would no longer be an issue. This racquet is superb for drop shots! The wider throat really does help in making this a phenomeally accurate racquet. This is the technical specification of the racquet: Headsize: 500 cm sq Frame Weight: 140g String Pattern: 14x19 Construction: M-Fil/Aerogel Balance: Head Light String: M-Fil TS Aerogel is a truly space age material.

Advantages: GOOD RIDE
Disadvantages: WEAKNESS IN STRAIGHT LINE

...I HAVE FITTED THESE TYRES TO MY RENAULT MEGANE 6 MONTHS AGO. ORIGINALLY THEY WERE MICHELINS AND THEY LASTED 35,000MILES FOR THE FRONT AND 50,000MILES FOR THE REAR. I DRIVE OVER 1,000MILES A WEEK ON OVER 80% ON MOTORWAY. I FIND THESE DUNLOP TYRES WEARS SLIGHTLY QICKER THAN THE ORIGINAL MICHELINS. I HAVE COVERED 28,000 MILES SO FAR AND THE FRONT ARE ON THE LIMIT. I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT SET WITHIN THE NEXT 1,000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT FROM THE DAY ONE THAT ON THE FAST DRIVING THESE SETS OF TYRES ARE NOT VERY GOOD IN STRAIGHT LINE DRIVING. IT DOES NOT LIKE TO DRIVE STABLE STRAIGHT LINE THEREFORE IT MAKES DRIVING A LITTLE MORE TIRING. THE RIDE IS SLIGHTLY SOFTER THAN THE MICHELIN AS WELL. OVERALL I DOUBT I WILL BUY ANOTHER SET OF THESE DUNLOP TYRES.... Read review

...ok so you may think its a little sad or strange that im writing a review on plecs, but as a guitarist i have tried loads of different models, styles, thickness' and makes of plectrum. But i can honestly say nothing compares to Jim Dunlop NYLON plectrums, the series contains all different thinkness' of plecs for different purposes, it's completly up to you as to what you use each for, however heres what i would reccomend: 38mm- Strumming 46mm- General Strumming+light picking 60mm- Strumming, Picking-Multi Purpose (personal favourite) 73mm- Strumming+Picking-Multi Purpose 88mm- Strumming+Picking 100mm-Picking (Possibly strumming) You can pick any of these up for around £0.30-£1.00 from pretty much any local music shop, if not they should be shot, and the great thing about these plectrums is how flexable the series is, you can...
