Squash Racquet Review - The Dunlop Biomimetic Max

Written by Jeff Warren | Sep 5, 2011 3:28:44 PM

The Dunlop Biomimetic Max is part of Dunlop new offerings this year for squash. It is a head light racquet that has a different feel than most Dunlop racquets. Of the new Biomimetic series it is the stiffest racquet. It also has a fan-out string pattern which is unique to this racquet in the Biomimetic series. It is a 140g which is also the heaviest weight of the Biomimetic series of squash racquets.

This racquet is a good overall racquet for several reasons. It is head light which makes it good for taking balls on the volley while at the ‘T’. A head light racquet is good for volleying as it is more maneuverable thus quicker to react to the ball. Volleying in squash is critical as most players know as it takes time away from our opponent. While it is head light it also has enough mass though to provide decent assistance is hitting length shots with pace. If a racquet is too light it requires the player to generate racquet head speed through a faster swing which is difficult for most players to control and even maintain the ability to do throughout a match. The Dunlop Biomimetic Max is a very powerful racquet on its own which makes it great for hitting length. Volleying is often setup by a good basic length game and the Dunlop Biomimetic Max works well for both.

Here are the specifications of the Dunlop Biomimetic Max:

The Dunlop Biomimetic Max squash racquet is an ideal racket for any advanced/intermediate player looking for pure power. The teardrop head shape provides long main strings for greater string deflection enhanced by a Powermax string pattern. The racquet is constructed with graphite and features Dunlop’s new Biomimetic technology. HM6 Carbon enhances racket feel; Aeroskin technology reduces aerodynamic drag making the racket faster through the air and the Gecko-Tac grip gives ultimate control in all conditions.
