Dunlop CX 132 Squash Racket

The Dunlop CX 132 is an elite, control-oriented squash racket engineered for advanced players who love the touch and feel of a classic frame but want a slightly larger, more forgiving sweet spot.

This model represents a major naming update in Dunlop’s flagship line—it is the direct technological successor to the iconic Sonic Core Ultimate 132. Renamed under the CX (Control) umbrella to match Dunlop's premium tennis lines, it is famously endorsed and used on the PSA World Tour by former World No. 1 Diego Elias and rising star Jonah Bryant.

Core Performance Description

1. The Ultimate Control Setup: Unlike the ultra-compact head of the CX 125, the CX 132 pairs a traditional, closed-throat geometric shape with a full-sized 500 cm² head. When you combine this traditional shape with a dense 16 X 19 string pattern, you get an exceptionally stable string bed that puts maximum strings on the ball for pinpoint precision and surgical accuracy.
2. Forgiving Power: Because the head size is larger (500 cm²), this racket offers a much wider, more generous sweet spot than its lighter siblings. If you are rushed into a tight corner or hit slightly off-center, the frame cushions the blow and generates effortless depth, allowing you to clear the ball back to the baseline.
3. Head-Light Maneuverability: While it features a slightly beefier 132g unstrung frame weight to give your drives more substance and plow-through, its balance is engineered to be head-light. This keeps the racket highly agile through the air, allowing you to hold your shots or react instantly to volleys on the T.

Key Technologies

1. Sonic Core with Infinergy® (by BASF): Formulated into the 2 and 10 o'clock areas of the head. This revolutionary E-TPU (expanded thermoplastic polyurethane) foam dampens harsh impact shock and reduces frame vibrations by up to 37% compared to standard carbon rackets. It heavily reduces arm fatigue while boosting ball rebound speed.
2. Flex Touch Resin: A specialized, high-performance thermoplastic elastomer compound built into the throat matrix. It delivers superb elasticity and vibration damping, creating a noticeably softer feel at contact for delicate drop shots and deceptive holds.
3. Pocketed Grommets: Highly aerodynamic frame channels that slightly recess the grommets, increasing racket head speed through the air and maximizing swing efficiency.

Summary: The Dunlop CX 132 is a precise weapon designed for methodical "squash purists." If you prefer a traditional frame shape and demand maximum ball control, but want the added safety net of a forgiving 500 cm² head size to pull you out of tough situations, this is the premier racket in Dunlop's lineup.
