Dunlop FX Team 130 Squash Racket

The Dunlop FX Team 130 is a lightweight, high-power squash racket tailored specifically for intermediate, club, and enthusiastic recreational players who want to dominate rallies with aggressive pace and deep, driving length.

As part of Dunlop's FX (Force) lineup, this model is the intermediate sibling to the elite, pro-level FX 130 (famously used by Eain Yow Ng). The Team variation captures the core geometry and visual identity of the flagship model but frames it in a highly user-friendly and structurally forgiving package that helps developing players maximize their hitting depth.

Core Performance Description

1. The Powermax Fan Pattern: The defining performance feature of the FX Team 130 is its signature 14 x 18 Powermax stringing layout. In the bottom center of the throat, two main strings pass through each individual grommet tube in a distinct fan shape. This significantly lengthens the main strings, opening up the 500 cm² head size to provide a springy, explosive "trampoline effect" on impact.
2. Extra Head-Light Whipping Speed: Even though the frame carries a solid 130-gram unstrung weight to provide baseline stability, it is structurally engineered with an extra head-light balance. This concentrates the weight closer to the grip, making the racket feel exceptionally nimble and quick through the air. This gives club players a massive speed advantage when hunting early volleys or flicking the wrist to redirect a shot at the last millisecond.
3. A Massive, Forgiving Sweet Spot: Thanks to the teardrop head profile and the Powermax pattern, the racket boasts an incredibly generous hitting zone. If you catch the ball slightly off-center while being rushed by an opponent or scraping the wall, the frame minimizes jarring vibrations and preserves shot velocity.

Key Technologies

1. 100% Graphite Construction: Unlike budget alloy or composite frames, the FX Team 130 is crafted entirely from premium graphite. This gives the racket a much more uniform, responsive, and crisp feel, helping players better interpret tactile feedback and master their front-court drop shots.
2. Enlarged Power Grommets: Strategically placed along the primary hitting zone, these wider grommet tubes give the string bed more freedom to flex upon ball contact, widening the sweet spot and softening the overall feel.

Summary: The Dunlop FX Team 130 behaves like an automated power booster for club-level players. By fusing an extra head-light balance with the long, fan-shaped strings of the Powermax setup, it delivers lightning-quick handling on the T and explosive, effortless depth off the back wall.
