Dunlop Blackstorm Titanium Squash Racket

Paul from PDH Sports makes a good point in this review: though this is priced as a midrange racket, it still plays nicely and is quality construction. Over and over on the PSA tour we’ll see players preferring to play with older rackets — even (and perhaps especially) world #1 Ramy Ashour — just because they are used to them or who knows why. But the bottom line is you don’t necessarily need to buy the latest and greatest top-of-the line racket to play squash well.

Product Notes

I’m pretty sure this racket was preceded by the Dunlop Biomimetic Max.

  Hi Leroy I am not sure how to do that but if you are able to create a guide for this racket you can email it to me here and I will post it.

I was enjoying this racket quite a bit. It is very maneuverable but with just enough weight in it so that you don’t have to work too hard for good length. Good power but also its soft enough for good touch on drops. Unfortunately the frame cracked at 2 o’clock position after minor contact with floor (similar to commenter Ben?). So I’m not sure whether to invest in another one because this break was a fluke or whether its a fragile design. It lasted only a few weeks of moderate use in rotation with other rackets.

  I bought my Blackstorm 2.0 from Decathlon UK. In six weeks of playing mine also cracked at 2 o’clock. It makes me think there could be a defact.

Hi guys,
I think that your website is very insightful. Keep up the good work !

@ Jeroen:

I am an improving player and it is about time for me to indulge into a new racket and this Dunlop definitely fits into my price bracket. From your experience, how do you think this racket performs? Is it as durable as described, would it be acquainted to wall/floor bashing? Would you classify it as an all rounder? and finally what is your level of playing?

Best Regards,
Dee

  Hi Dee this racket can withstand some floor bashes but watch out and, it will most likely crack. It’s more of a power racket because of it’s shape (teardrop) also have you considered Wilson Hyper Hammer 145, 120 or 110 all are stronger a provide excellent control and power also they are head heavy in balance, sorry couldn’t find a review for Wilson Hyper Hammer 145. Here is a link to a review from Paul at PDHsports

HEY THAT’S MY RACKET!!!
But now I strung it with Ashaway Powernick at a tension of 12,5 kg and I don’t like it. But first I strung it at a tension of 13 kg and that plays well for me and now experimenting with tension and strings (any tips anyone about the strings?). Btw. I am 17 years old from the Netherlands.
