[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Dunlop FX Hybrid Team 2026 is the fiberglass-faced model in Dunlop's FX family. It is a 360 g teardrop with an EVA Pro core and medium balance, listed for beginner and intermediate players. On paper every meter reads Medium, which makes it a calm, balanced racket. The catch: nobody has published a court test yet, and the balance in millimetres is not published. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 7 October 2026 Choose it if - you are moving past your first racket and want one racket for defense and attack - you want a softer, fiberglass feel rather than a stiff carbon face - you like help with spin from a rough 3D surface Skip it if - you want a clearly attacking diamond, the Dunlop FX Team sits in the same family - you need a lighter racket, the Kuikma PR React starts at 341 g - you only buy rackets with published court tests, none exist for this one yet ## How it plays 7.3 **padell.io score 7.3** Play 7.8 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

Checked every night. The Dunlop FX Hybrid Team 2026 is the only racket in Dunlop's six-racket FX family with a fiberglass face. It is also the only one where no meter on this page reads Low. Every 2026 sibling, from the [FX Pro](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-pro/) down to the [FX Start](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-start/), uses carbon or Glaphite on the face and sacrifices something. Usually comfort or maneuverability. This one does not. That tells you most of what you need to know before you read another word. ## Fiberglass in a carbon family The face is fiberglass, listed by the shop justpadel.com. Fiberglass flexes more than carbon at impact. You feel a longer, softer contact. The ball leaves with less of the dry snap you get from the 12K carbon faces on the [FX Hybrid](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-hybrid/) or FX Pro. For a player still building technique, that softness is a feature, not a compromise. The ball stays on the face a fraction longer, and mishits punish your arm less. Dunlop's own FX family shows the alternative clearly. The FX Hybrid pairs 12K carbon with high balance and reads Low on comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot. The FX Hybrid Team reads Medium on all five meters. Same family, opposite philosophy. The FX family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-pro/) [**Hybrid**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-hybrid/) [**Lite**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-lite/) [**Team**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-team/) [**Start**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-start/) **Hybrid Team** ## 360 g, teardrop, medium balance The weight is listed at 360 g, both minimum and maximum, by lardesports.com. That is a normal adult weight. Not heavy, not light. The balance is listed as Medium by padelnuestro.com, so the racket does not pull toward the head the way the attacking FX models do. The shape is teardrop. That sits between round and diamond. The sweet spot is a bit smaller than on a round racket, and there is a bit more punch than a round racket gives. Combined with the even weight distribution, the specs suggest a racket that defends comfortably at the back and still finishes a volley when you step in. A retailer lists the player profile as All-Round. That matches the sheet. Nothing here is tuned for one shot. ## EVA Pro and a rough 3D surface The core is EVA Pro, listed by padelnuestro.com. In Dunlop's line this is the medium-density foam: firmer than the Soft EVA in the [FX Lite](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-lite/), softer than a hard competition core. Paired with fiberglass, it explains the Medium comfort reading. The face flexes, the foam absorbs, and less vibration reaches your elbow. The same pairing also caps power. A soft face over a medium core returns less energy than carbon over a hard core. You generate your own depth with technique. For the listed level, Beginner / Intermediate, that is honest engineering rather than a weakness. Players who already hit hard on their own will want something stiffer. The surface is listed as 3D and rough. A raised pattern grips the ball longer at contact, which can help you put more rotation on the ball. It does not create spin by itself. Your swing does that. On a fiberglass face, where contact is already longer, a rough finish can add a usable effect. ## Hybrid in the name, teardrop on the sheet The name says Hybrid. The spec sheet says teardrop. These are not the same thing, and it matters if you compare rackets across brands. Dunlop's FX Start, in the same 2026 family, is the one listed with a Hybrid shape. The FX Hybrid Team is a teardrop. In practice the difference is small: hybrid and teardrop both sit between round and diamond. Just do not buy this expecting a hybrid sheet to match a hybrid label from another brand. Go by the listed shape, not the word on the throat. ## What you cannot check Here is the honest part. No independent review of this racket has been published, and no tester appears to have played it publicly. Everything on this page comes from retailer listings and the spec sheet. The balance is listed only as Medium, with no figure in millimetres. The frame material, handle and head size are not published either. What can you do with that? Trust the structure. Fiberglass, EVA Pro, teardrop and medium balance is a well-known combination with a predictable character. But some buyers want a measured balance point and three filmed playtests before deciding. This racket cannot give you that yet. ## FX Hybrid Team, FX Team or Kuikma PR React Within the family, the closest name is the [Dunlop FX Team](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-team/). Despite the shared word Team, it is a different racket: [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), Premium carbon face, 365 g, and Low readings on comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot. It hits harder and forgives less. Improvers who already finish points can consider it; everyone else is better served by the Hybrid Team. Outside Dunlop, the [Kuikma PR React](https://padell.io/rackets/kuikma/pr-react/) is the natural cross-shop comparison. It is also a teardrop for developing players. It has an even balance, a [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) starting at 341 g and a High comfort reading against this racket's Medium. It trades power for softness. If your arm is your priority, look there. If you want a bit more punch from the same mold, the Dunlop is the stronger fit. The [Dunlop Impact HL Red](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/impact-hl-red/) is the third option in this bracket. It follows the same fiberglass teardrop idea, but with an EVA super flex core and a top weight of 375 g. Its maneuverability reading is Low. The FX Hybrid Team is the livelier of the two.

The Hybrid Team uses fiberglass, a medium balance and is listed for beginner and intermediate players. **What level is the Dunlop FX Hybrid Team for?** Retailers list it as Beginner / Intermediate, with an All-Round player profile. The specs back that up: medium balance, a 360 g weight and Medium readings on all five meters. **Is the FX Hybrid Team easy on the arm?** On paper, yes. Fiberglass and a medium EVA Pro core absorb more vibration than the carbon faces used elsewhere in the FX family, and comfort reads Medium. No tester has confirmed this on court yet. **FX Hybrid Team or Kuikma PR React?** Both are teardrop rackets for developing players. The Kuikma starts lighter at 341 g and reads High on comfort but Low on power. The Dunlop is 360 g with medium power. Choose the Kuikma for maximum softness, the Dunlop for a bit more punch. **Is the FX Hybrid Team worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike.

[Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/dunlop-impact-hl-red-vs-dunlop-fx-hybrid-team/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you want easy power for smashes (power 5.5/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (5.5/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 360 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
