Dunlop first entered the sports business in 1910 when the Company started production of golf balls. Since then it has expanded and diversified with great success into a wide range of sports. As the World’s No.1 Squash brand, champions such as Lee Beachill, Jonah Barrington & Geoff Hunt have used Dunlop products to reach the pinnacle of their Squash careers.

Dunlop is a truly international sporting brand with a great heritage of innovation and achievement. Each premium Dunlop racket is carefully hand crafted to precise specifications by skilled craftsmen utilising over 80 years of experience.

We have been pioneers in racket technology through the ages culminating in 2007 with the introduction of a revolutionary technology, Aerogel, to premium racket construction. Aerogel is a record breaking technology which is one of the lightest and strongest materials in existence.

In 2011 we employed a truly unique approach to product design and development that builds on millions of years of evolution. Biomimetics is the study of nature and the natural world to inspire cutting edge engineering solutions and technology. We used this principle to create the ultimate range of performance equipment - Dunlop Biomimetics - Inspired by nature, perfected by Dunlop.

For 2013 we have developed entirely new technologies and introduced new racket frame geometries to take the concept of Biomimetics to another level by creating the most performance enhancing range of rackets to date.

Dunlop is proud to have a world class international Tour Team who choose Dunlop as their equipment of choice to help them at the top of their game. These Squash stars include Nick Matthew, Gregory Gaultier, Amr Shabana, Madeline Perry and Natalie Grinham.

Inspired by the wear resistant self lubricating properties of snake skin, Dunlop has engineered a revolutionary new polymer featuring a microscopic lubricant MoS2.

MoS2 increases grommet durability by 40% and reduces string friction by 27% delivering more string movement for enhanced power and spin.

BIOMIMETIC TECHNOLOGIES

Stronger than steel and lighter than carbon, Dunlop has extracted the stem fibres from plants and woven them into the shaft portion of the racket.

On ball impact this natural fibrous structure actively filters shockwaves by 18% to provide a cleaner more solid hit than conventional all composite construction.

Reduced shock on ball impact

= Greater comfort, feel and control

Inspired by the sandfish skink, a lizard that can swim through sand, Dunlop’s unique grommet technology combines microscopic ridges with a near frictionless polymer.

This provides greater string bed movement and improved aerodynamics for added penetrative power.

= ENHANCED POWER

Apex predators are highly evolved for power and precision. Taking inspiration from their anatomical bone structure Dunlop has inverted the structural form of the throat in 3 key areas to minimise torsional deflection for increased precision and control of off centre shots.

= ENHANCED CONTROL AND PRECISION

CX Technology is inspired by the wings of birds of prey to reduce aerodynamic drag in the hoop. This combined with a TruOval head shape greatly increases the rackets sweet spot to maximise power.

HEAD SHAPE ANATOMY

BIOMIMETIC RACKET SELECTOR

Every player is different so selecting the right racket can sometimes be difficult. Dunlop offer 3 different types of racket head shapes and the guide below will help make the selection process easier:

Closed Throat / Conventional: The main distinguishable feature of these rackets is the triangular shaped throat piece, located between the head of the racket and the shaft. Closed throat rackets have a smaller, more dense string bed which in turn provides a reduced sweet spot size and is suited to more experienced players seeking improved precision and control.

Open Throat / Teardrop: Open throat rackets do not include a triangular throat piece like that seen on closed throat rackets; the head of the racket is directly connected to the shaft. The main benefit of this head shape is the larger sweet spot size as a result of the increased main string length and is suited to players seeking excellent power and improved consistency.

Hybrid: Hybrid frames are the result of combining geometry from both open throat and closed throat rackets. Hybrid frames retain the teardrop shape as featured on open throat rackets but also include a small triangular shaped throat piece as seen on closed throat rackets. The outcome is a racket which offers a good blend of power and control and is suited for players seeking all round playability.

BIOMIMETIC PRO GTSFollowing on from the success of the Pro GT-X series, the all new Pro GTS series has been developed in conjunction with the PSA to offer a pro player specification and is designed for players seeking ultimate control with additional power.

The new frame geometry incorporates a sharper cross sectional profile in the hoop allowing increased head speed and improved manoeuvrability. The racket shaft has a more curvaceous profile allowing greater power to be generated from the back of the court or when close to the side walls.

The Ultimate has been one of Dunlop’s most successful frames over the years due to its large 500 sq.cm head size, delivering appropriate power whilst retaining control and feel through the dense 16 x 19 string pattern. The inclusion of Dunlop’s new Biomimetic technologies gives the Ultimate a cutting edge over previous models to offer the best all round racket to date.

The Elite shares the same frame geometry with the Ultimate and has been equally as popular over the years but is tailored towards the all round player with additional power.

The slightly heavier frame weight of 135g helps generate greater momentum in the hoop of the racket for additional power whilst the head light balance maintains sufficient manoeuvrability for control.

MID RANGE TECHNOLOGIES

Dunlop’s Powermax string pattern involves the main strings being threaded back on itself in the throat of the racket. This increases the total main string length and as a result will provide a larger sweet spot and greater string bed deflection, delivering enhanced power

= ENHANCED SWEET SPOT AND POWER

Power-Ridge technology reinforces the racket throat area to deliver increased stiffness stabilising the racket head during ball impact thereby improving power

= ENHANCED STIFFNESS AND POWER

The enlarged cross string grommet holes across the 3 and 9 o’clock positions allow increased string bed movement at the moment of ball impact providing explosive ball propulsion. The inclusion of an elastic polymer also enhances string deflection generating greater power

= INCREASED STRING BED DEFLECTION

Advanced Control System technology reinforces the racket throat area to deliver maximum torsional strength. This torsional strength stabilises the racket head during ball impact providing superior control

= ENHANCED CONTROL AND PRECISION

HM6 is inspired by one of the strongest most efficient structures in nature, Honeycomb. Its complex mass of hexagonal cells creates an incredible strong lightweight structure that’s up to 95% air to naturally absorb impacts whilst maintaining its shape. HM6 Carbon reduces racket frequency and vibration by up to 10%.

= ULTIMATE ENERGY RETURN AND FEEL.

Braided Carbon technology consists of a fabric sleeve of precisely orientated bi-axial woven carbon fibres to provide maximum stiffness and torsional stability for greater power whilst retaining superior control upon ball impact.

= ENHANCED POWER AND STABILITY

4D Braided material is constructed using super light composite fibres aligned in 4 directions. 4D Braided material has been incorporated into the racket layup at the 5 & 7 o’clock positions to stabilise torsional twist making the racket more stable enhancing control

VIPERDRYULTRA DRY REPLACEMENT GRIP

HYDRA PUABSORBENT REPLACEMENT GRIP

Inspired by the deadly Sand Viper which lives in the desert, the Viper Dry grip has an incredible ability to absorb moisture through perforations on the surface to create an ultra dry feel in all conditions. The result is a durable grip that gives ultimate control suitable for aggressive and attacking styles of play.

The Hydra PU replacement grip features a special coating which absorbs maximum moisture so that there is no loss of control whilst also providing good levels of grip and comfort. Comfort is preserved with the inclusion of a shock absorbing middle fibre layer to reduce racket vibrations.

A cutting edge concept inspired by the pads of a Gecko’s foot. This ‘tacky’ surface technology provides up to 50% more grip and tack than previous Dunlop grips, giving enhanced control, feel and precision. The surface perforations help to wick away moisture further enhancing comfort and control.

The Pro PU replacement utilises a lightweight PU non slip surface for enhanced control and feel. The thick PU fibre inner layer combined with the PU cushion base layer provide fantastic cushioning to dampen unwanted racket vibrations enhancing shot precision and delivering a softer feeling on the arm.

RACKETBALL BIOMIMETIC ULTIMATERacketball is the fastest growing sport in the UK and is becoming increasingly popular all around the world.

Racketball is similar to Squash and is played on a Squash court but the main distinguishable differences include a larger ball which bounces higher and a shorter racket. The larger, higher bouncing ball enables players to retrieve the ball more easily resulting in longer rallies and also means the ball does not need warming before the start of a game like that of Squash.

Racketball is a fantastic alternative for squash players of an elder generation who struggle to meet the physical demands of the game. Racketball also provides the perfect opportunity for young audiences who want to take up Squash; the similarities between the two sports means Racketball can serve as a foundation for skill development for players looking to get into Squash.

For 2013 Dunlop have developed a comprehensive Racketball range to provide players of all standards with the equipment they need to get the most out of their game.
