A player at our local league has this particular racquet (I’ve also had one in the past) and when we were looking at head size it is 523cm2.
I thought all racquets had to be <500cm2 according to the WSF rules? Are there many other manufacturers that exceed this limit as well? I don't see it creating much of an advantage, but us squash geeks want to know more.
Thanks Pierre.

Hi Travis. I think this racket is also meant for north american doubles, and that is why it’s is extra large and extra stiff. To my understanding doubles or hardball doubles is quite popular over the pond.
The specs are very interesting. Could you tell us a bit more how the racket felt and played? Looking at the specs, that big head should make it super powerful with a really big sweetspot.
There are also a couple of Dunlops with bigger head sizes, mostly for beginners/intermediates, like the Dunlop Synergy (515cm2). But I think you are right that in singles competition the head size is restricted to 500cm2.

Hi Travis, You’re right that 500 cm sq is the limit according to the rules. I’ve only seen some midrange Dunlop models, like Niklas mentioned, advertised as 500+. I’ve hit with some of those Dunlops and couldn’t perceive any difference based on the extra-large head size. Probably a bigger than average sweet spot.
