Would the Dunlop FX START 27 G3 be a good first tennis racket for my 186 cm-tall boyfriend?

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to surprise my boyfriend with his first tennis racket for his birthday. He’s 186 cm tall (about 6’1”) and has never played tennis before, so I’m looking for something beginner-friendly that still feels serious enough to encourage him to keep playing.

I found the Dunlop FX START 27 G3—it’s full-size (27″), within my budget, and looks like it’s made for new players. Before I buy it, I wanted to ask: is it a good choice? Does the size/weight feel appropriate for someone his height? Is it forgiving but still “real,” not some junior racket with a giant head and tiny handle? Any feedback, comparisons, or advice would be super appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance!!🩷
