Squash Racquet Review – Dunlop Aerogel 4D Evolution 120

Posted on July 17, 2010 by Jeff
I had a chance to try out the Dunlop Aerogel 4D Evolution 120 for the first time this week. What a great racquet! This is the racquet that Nick Matthew, the current #1 player in the world uses.

Playing a game just to enjoy myself was a nice change of pace.  I always play squash fairly seriously but when I went out to play tennis I was just hitting shots and not worrying about the outcome of a match.  After a bit when I started to find my shots again I was hitting really well.  I found that the more relaxed I was when hitting my shots the better the outcome.
