The eagerly awaited Dunlop aerogel 4d series of squash rackets are to be released for July 2009. Not only do they have a brand new look but also boast the new 4D braiding technology which has been incorporated in the whole range. All the popular Dunlop rackets have been upgraded including the pro, pro gtx, ultimate, elite, max and the new evolution 120. This advanced technology has been added to enable player to experience the unique balance of power and control.
The 4d braiding has been added to the rackets at key points on the frame which are at 5 and 7 o'clock and then also at 3 and 9 o'clock. 4 directional braiding consists of very light s-glass fibres which increase the benefits by four times the amount of carbon. The result is minimal torsional twist and increased stability and control. The new technology perfectly compliments he aerogel and m-fil systems which has proved to be very successful in gaining advanced racket control. Most of the rackets are aimed at intermediate to advanced players but I'm sure they will benefit players of all standards who wish to improve their racket skills.
It is because Dunlop maintains a high standard of racket design and understanding of the game that they remain the number one squash racket of choice by 50% of the players in the world top 50 rankings. The ultimate is currently used by former world no1 Amr Shabana, but lee Beechill and Jonathan Power reached world number one status using this brand of rackets as well. The new member to the team is Nick Matthew who joined earlier this year and has also set his sights on reaching higher rankings this season with his new choice o f racket the 'evolution 120' which is the first in his signature series to be released.
I have used Dunlop rackets for over 20 years with my first being the maxply light which was one of the best selling wooden rackets at the time. I then moved on to the max, a graphite racket which still had a very small head size but was more powerful than the wooden rackets. My favorite racket so far is the aerogel ultimate which I have used for some time and reluctant to change as it suits my game and feels very comfortable.
I suppose you could call me a die hard fan of Dunlop rackets as I never really look at other brands when I am considering a change. I will probably upgrade to the 4d ultimate or the pro gtx as judging by the specifications it would be a natural progression for me. I started my squash campaign armed with these rackets and if the new rackets are as half as good as their predecessors I cannot see why I will not end with them too.
