Dunlop CX 120 Squash Racket

The Dunlop CX 120 is a high-performance, control-oriented squash racket engineered for advanced and competitive players. It serves as the official technological successor to the popular Sonic Core Evolution 120 (the historic choice of squash legend Nick Matthew) and is heavily endorsed on the modern PSA World Tour by rising stars like Amina Orfi and Rowan Elaraby.

Dunlop has aligned its squash naming convention with its tennis lineup; the CX moniker designates this as their signature Control series.

Core Performance Description

1. The Hybrid Advantage: The CX 120 features a specialized hybrid frame shape. It incorporates a small bridge in the throat to give it the torsional stability and surgical accuracy of a traditional closed-throat racket, while utilizing longer main strings characteristic of a teardrop design to inject effortless, explosive depth into your shots.
2. Maneuverability Meets Stability: Advertised with an ultra-light frame weight and an extra head-light balance, this racket is designed for rapid-fire volleys, quick reactions on the T, and deceptive, late-flick wrist shots. 
3. Crisp Feel and Touch: Strung stock with premium Dunlop Iconic Pro AF 1.22mm multifilament string, it provides an incredibly crisp response, making it highly effective for dropping and dying the ball in the front corners.

Key Technologies

1. Sonic Core with Infinergy® (by BASF): Strategically placed at the 2 and 10 o'clock positions of the frame. This super-elastic material significantly dampens harsh vibrations and boosts energy return, widening the sweet spot for a more forgiving feel on off-center hits.
2. Flex Touch Resin: Integrated into the throat of the racket, this specialized material maximizes touch and tactile feedback, giving technical players the enhanced feel needed for delicate drops and lobs.
3. Tapered Shaft Design: Optimizes energy transfer upon impact, translating a short, punchy swing into high-velocity output.

Summary: The Dunlop CX 120 is a precision weapon engineered for tactical court-shapers who want a swift, highly maneuverable frame to control the pace of the rally without sacrificing the baseline punch needed to put away loose balls.
