Dunlop CX TEAM 125 Squash Racket

The Dunlop CX Team 125 is a lightweight, control-oriented squash racket specifically designed for intermediate, club, and team players.

While inspired by the flagship, pro-level CX 125 (the weapon used by PSA pro Aly Abou Eleinen), the Team version modifies the architecture to be significantly more forgiving, user-friendly, and accessible for developing players who want to sharpen their precision and touch.

Core Performance Description

1. A More Forgiving Setup: The biggest difference between this and the elite flagship model is the head size. The CX Team 125 features a full-sized $500\text{ cm}^2$ head compared to the pro version's ultra-compact 470 cm² head. This provides a much broader sweet spot, making the racket highly forgiving on off-center hits and helping you clear the ball out of corners when rushed.
2. Precision-Focused Geometry: Despite the larger head, it stays true to the CX (Control) family DNA by featuring a traditional closed-throat geometric shape and a dense 16 X 19 string pattern. This tight string grid minimizes the springy "trampoline effect" found in teardrop rackets, ensuring a highly predictable ball launch for precise shot placement.
3. Lightweight Maneuverability: At an unstrung frame weight of 125 grams paired with a head-light balance, this racket is exceptionally fast and agile through the air. It allows club players to quickly react to volleys on the T, accelerate the racket head with a shorter swing, and effortlessly flick the wrist to change shot direction late.

Key Technologies

1. ACS (Advanced Control System): This is the core technology of the Team series. The throat area of the racket is reinforced with a specialized geometric design that drastically increases torsional rigidity. This keeps the frame from twisting or fluttering during heavy impact, offering clean stability and unerring accuracy during high-intensity rallies.
2. 100% Graphite Construction: Unlike cheaper alloy starter rackets, the CX Team 125 is constructed entirely from premium graphite. This gives the frame a crisp, lively, and uniform feel while keeping the overall structure incredibly light and durable.

Summary: The Dunlop CX Team 125 is an excellent bridge for intermediate players looking to move away from heavy beginner frames. It offers the lightning-fast handling and premium graphite feel of a pro racket, but packages it with a generous 500 cm² sweet spot and ACS stability so you can master your tactical placement and touch with confidence.
