Dunlop FX130 Squash Racket

The Dunlop FX 130 is an elite, high-power squash racket engineered for advanced and competitive players who want explosive pace and ultimate baseline depth without giving up high-speed handling.

Belonging to Dunlop's flagship FX (Force) lineup, this model serves as the direct technological successor to the popular Sonic Core Revelation 135. It is famously endorsed on the professional PSA World Tour by Malaysian star Eain Yow Ng.

Core Performance Description

1. The Powermax Advantage: The definitive feature of the FX 130 is its specialized 14 x 18 Powermax string pattern. At the bottom center of the throat, two strings pass through each grommet tube in a distinct fan-shaped layout. This significantly lengthens the main strings, widening the sweet spot and producing an explosive "trampoline effect" across the 500 cm² head.
2. Massive Court-Plow and Stability: Weighing 130 grams unstrung, the frame features a slightly thicker aerodynamic beam paired with a unique V-Energy Shaft (a V-shaped cross-section). This optimized rigidity maximizes torsional stability, preventing the racket from twisting when blocking heavy shots and delivering a solid, crushing hit into the back corners.
3. Surprisingly Agile Feel: Despite its solid 130g weight and stiff frame profile, the racket is engineered with a head-light balance. This keeps the overall setup incredibly fast through the air, giving you the necessary hand speed to snatch quick reaction volleys on the T or pull off late wrist-flicks.

Key Technologies

1. Sonic Core with Infinergy® (by BASF): Formulated into the 2 and 10 o'clock zones of the racket head. This revolutionary, super-elastic E-TPU material significantly dampens harsh frame vibrations and reduces impact shock. It cleans up the tactile feedback, offering a plush hit while noticeably accelerating ball rebound speeds.
2. V-Energy Shaft: A specialized geometric design along the throat area that drastically minimizes frame flexing upon heavy contact, translating your raw swing velocity directly into pure, unadulterated ball power.
3. Premium Carbon Fibre Build: Constructed from high-modulus graphite layers designed to optimize structural lifecycles, allowing the frame to hold up against aggressive court play and minor wall scrapes.

Summary: The Dunlop FX 130 is a true heavy-artillery frame tamed by a nimble, head-light balance. If you love a teardrop shape and want a racket that heavily punishes loose balls with explosive depth, while still offering the frame speed needed to play aggressively at the volley, Eain Yow Ng’s weapon of choice is built for your game.
