Description

Following 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 controlwith 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.

Head Shape Anatomy & Choosing a Dunlop Squash Racquet:

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 benefi t 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.

Each premium Dunlop racket is carefully hand crafted to precise specifi cations by skilled craftsmen utilising over 80 years of experience.Dunlop 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 Dunlop 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. Dunlop used this principle to create the ultimate range of performance equipment – Dunlop Biomimetics – Inspired by nature, perfected by Dunlop.For 2013 Dunlop 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.
