Dunlop CX 125 Squash Racket

The Dunlop CX 125 is the signature control weapon designed for advanced, elite-level squash players who prioritize surgical accuracy, rapid racket speed, and timing over raw power.

As part of Dunlop's CX (Control) flagship line, it serves as the direct technological successor to the popular Sonic Core Pro 130, dropping 5 grams of frame weight to offer an incredibly quick feel through the air. On the modern PSA World Tour, it is the weapon of choice for top-tier pros like Egypt's rising star Aly Abou Eleinen.

Core Performance Description

1. Surgical Precision: The standout feature of the CX 125 is its highly compact 470 cm² conventional head shape. Combined with a dense, open 14 X 18 string pattern, it yields a highly concentrated sweet spot that gives skilled players a direct, honest, and ultra-precise feel for the ball.
2. Elite Maneuverability: Weighing just 125 grams unstrung with an extra head-light balance, this is the quickest-handling traditional-throat racket in Dunlop’s catalog. It allows you to delay your shots until the absolute last millisecond, flicking the wrist to deceive your opponent or hunting for rapid-fire volleys on the T.
3. Consistent Touch: Because the head size is smaller, it naturally generates less "trampoline effect" (power). Instead, it rewards players who have clean technique, allowing them to confidently drop and die the ball hard into the nick without fear of overhitting.

Key Technologies

1. Sonic Core with Infinergy® (by BASF): Embedded at the 2 and 10 o'clock sectors of the frame. The Infinergy material has remarkable elasticity and damping properties. It softens harsh impact shock, cleans up unwanted frame vibrations, and adds just enough rebound energy to keep the tiny sweet spot stable.
2. Flex Touch Resin: Formulated directly into the graphite matrix of the racket’s throat. This maximizes the tactile connection between the ball and your hand, ensuring supreme touch for tight holds, delicate drops, and safety lobs.
3. Premium Carbon Fibre Construction: Provides a rigid baseline structure that resists twisting under load, maintaining consistent frame alignment during high-velocity rallies.

Summary: The Dunlop CX 125 behaves like a sports car—it is incredibly fast, responsive, and agile, but it demands absolute driver control. If you have the clean timing required to consistently hit a compact sweet spot, it will reward you with unrivaled accuracy and front-court dominance.
