The Dunlop FX 125 Pro Lite is a premium, high-performance squash racket designed for intermediate to advanced players who want an aggressive, power-oriented frame without sacrificing lightning-fast maneuverability.
Released as part of Dunlop's flagship power series, the FX moniker stands for Force. This model serves as the direct technological successor to the Sonic Core Revelation Pro Lite. On the professional PSA World Tour, the FX Pro Lite series is a massive favorite, endorsed by top players like Victor Crouin, Sabrina Sobhy, Tinne Gilis, and Katie Mallif.
Core Performance Description
- The Power of the Teardrop: Unlike the closed-throat CX control series, the FX 125 Pro Lite utilizes an open, teardrop head design. This layout allows for longer main strings that plunge down through the throat, resulting in a highly responsive "trampoline effect" that injects effortless, explosive depth into your drives.
- Whippy Maneuverability: While it shares its core mold with the heavier FX 128 Pro (the weapon used by World No. 1 Ali Farag), the Pro Lite drops the frame weight to 125 grams and features a more distinct head-light balance. This makes it incredibly fast through the air, perfect for quick reaction volleys on the T, late wrist-flicks, and rapid defensive gets.
- Forgiving Sweet Spot: Featuring a full-sized 500 cm² head and an open 14 X 19 string pattern, it offers a remarkably generous and forgiving sweet spot. It behaves slightly softer and plusher than ultra-stiff power frames, granting technical players the tactile cushion they need to take the ball short into the front corners.
Key Technologies
- Sonic Core with Infinergy® (by BASF): Placed at the 2 and 10 o'clock zones of the frame head. This super-elastic E-TPU material significantly dampens harsh impact shock and cleans up frame vibrations. It protects the arm while increasing ball rebound speed.
- Flex Touch Resin: Formulated directly into the graphite structure of the shaft. This high-performance thermoplastic elastomer maximizes feel and sensory feedback, counteracting the typical "numbness" found in some power-focused teardrop rackets.
Summary: The Dunlop FX 125 Pro Lite is a beautifully balanced weapon for the modern attacking player. It takes the effortless depth and forgiving sweet spot of a teardrop frame and strips away the head-heavy drag, leaving you with an incredibly fast, crisp, and explosive racket to dictate the pace of the rally.
