The huge advantage this racquet this has over the rest of the field is the incredible strength to weight ratio. The material the racquet is composed of is quite literally the world's lightest solid.  The technology is a spin-off of aviation material that found a use here and in top-end tennis racquets.  In the past year Dunlop introduced this in the tennis world and made a ginormous impact--now on to squash where the higher racquet speeds and faster speed can really take advantage.  The aerogel material has a strength of 4,000 times it's own weight!!!!  All that is just science until you take it out on the court--having a lighter racquet enables greater swing speed, less deviation from base shape upon impact (better accuracy) and more resiliency.  This racquet features a standard ovular face--What is not standard is that the interplay of materials and design make the sweetspot larger--all the components work together--without the underlying strength of the materials and the process in which it is created, it would not be possible.  With such a gigantic sweetspot, even if your shot is not exactly centered, you have a better chance of getting off a decent shot with a greater margin of error.  That is crucially important for all level players.  Frequently you have adequate time to set up for and make a nice return but the true test of an excellent player is how you perform under pressure, off-balance, in an awkward stance, pressed for time--a better racquet gives you an edge under conditions like this.  Against a skilled player, they are trying their best to put you in such a position all the time.  The weighting of the racquet is head light--definitely an advantage for pinpoint accuracy and deception.  While most racquets are more balanced, professionals tend to favor head light ones.  This is just a matter of personal preference and not necessarily better or worse than any other weighting.  The head is a slightly larger than average size- 500 sq. cm.   Because the material in the frame is so light it is possible to have an above-average size head with a super-low weight.   If you have never played with something so light, you will be amazed at  the precise touch and control you can get and prepare yourself for insane racquet head speed.  Your own personal preference should guide you to the correct racquet weight for your build, strength, and style.  The racquet comes pre-strung with Dunlop's own top-of-the-line M-Fil Pro stringing.   This is what the pros use--very expensive, by the way.   Finally, the racquet is equipped with a protective lightweight plastic covering on the exterior, particularly around the topmost part of the racquet.  If you have even broken a racquet or two scraping returns from tight rail shots or digging a well-placed ball out of the corner, you'll appreciate this little feature.  Also included is a premium padded racquet cover--reasonably important to protect your racquet from damage or premature aging. We are offering this racquet at a super-low price with no reserve.  We are proud to be PowerSellers with a 100% positive feedback rating--how many sellers can say that?  We also ship immediately upon payment and are glad to ship internationally anywhere in the world.     I am an experienced squash player and would be glad to answer any questions you may have.  Good luck!!!   Place a Bid!
