Dunlop has a real strangle hold on the top 5 position in the PSA. They have spots 1,2,3 and 5. Here is the list of players in the top 5 that are using Dunlop and the squash racquets the use.

NICK MATTHEW #1 

Nick Matthew uses the Dunlop Aerogel 4D Evolution 120.  This is a very light racquet that is also head light.  It is designed to be quick and maneuverable.  Nick has shot up to #1 since using this racquet.  While I am sure that is mostly his hard work that is paying off the racquet definitely suits his aggressive volleying style of play.

DUNLOP AEROGEL 4D EVOLUTION 120

The Dunlop Aerogel 4D Evolution racket is the lightest racket in this range with a raw frame weight of 120g it is the lightest racket Dunlop have ever produced. The frame itself is handcrafted with a tear drop head design for explosive power but still maintains string bed control through a small bridge located in the throat area. The characteristics of the ‘Evolution’ allow players of all standards to experience lightweight power, great manoeuvrability with a decent amount of control.
