It’s no secret that manufacturers weigh just their frames (leaving out the strings, bumper strips, grips, and sometimes even paint!). The Dunlop Sonic Core Evolution comes in two weights – 120g and 130g.

Taking the Dunlop Sonic Core Evolution 120 and 130 on court – full review Weight, balance and manoeuvrability Inside the 120’s throat, you’ll find a small ‘Wolf’ logo to signify it’s Nick Matthew’s racket – a nice touch. The 130 has a black, white and green paint job, and the 120 has blue and green paint. The rackets have received a fresh coat of paint with their redesign, with Dunlop opting for a much cleaner look and feel with these frames.

This means you get the best of both worlds – the rackets are designed to sit between control and power orientated rackets. This means it’s not quite a traditional shape racket, and it’s not quite a teardrop either. The Sonic Core Evolution is Dunlop’s ‘ hybrid’ shape squash racket. The theory is that by placing this material at the 2&10 O’clock positions within the frame, it will increase the sweet spot of their rackets, make them more powerful, and at the same time increase their dampening and reduce shock. This material has ultra-elastic rebound properties and is really lightweight. With Dunlop’s latest Sonic Core squash rackets however, they’ve partnered with BASF, the company behind Adidas’ insanely popular Boost foam technology.ĭunlop have opted to use the same foam technology from Adidas’ Boost shoes (‘Expanded Thermoplastic Polyurethane’) within their squash rackets. Racket manufacturers use foam in their racket construction – that’s nothing new. These new rackets can certainly talk the talk, but do they walk the walk? Read on to find out. The end result should mean these rackets have improved in multiple areas over the rackets they’re replacing. They started out with their tennis rackets in 2018, and have now graduated to squash rackets. From speaking to the team at Dunlop, Srixon have been instrumental in taking their research, development and testing to the next level. These are the first Dunlop squash rackets made in collaboration with Srixon. For those not in the know, Srixon are a Japanese brand who historically operated within the golf market. In more recent history, Dunlop, previously owned by Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct, was sold to Srixon. They then released the Evolution 120 in 2015.
