Dunlop recently released a whole slate of new squash rackets for 2024 called the Dunlop FX range. They all have a blue and black color scheme that looks pretty sweet. Kinda looks like 50 Blue.
Check out my Dunlop squash rackets buyer’s guide to see how these fit into the bigger Dunlop range.
Mostly these look like cosmetic updates of prior models, but the FX 115 is a new frame weight.
Dunlop FX 128 Pro

This is Dunlop’s top-of-the-line racket because Ali Farag uses it. I’ve tried prior versions of this racket and always found it a little too head heavy. I prefer the Pro Lite below, which has the same frame shape but is just a little lighter.
Dunlop FX 125 Pro Lite
The Dunlop FX 125 Pro Lite replaces the Dunlop Sonic Core Revelation Pro Lite. I haven’t tried this yet but this model has been my favorite in the Dunlop range for years. It’s just a touch head-heavy, for power and control, and nicely maneuverable.

Looks like Tinne Gilis switched to this model this year:
Monsieur Crouin used this model in the past and is sticking with it:
Dunlop FX 115
The Dunlop FX 115 is a new model in the Dunlop range this year. I believe it’s the same frame shape as the FX 125 and FX 130 below, just a bit lighter in the head.

Dunlop FX 125
The Dunlop FX 125 replaces the Dunlop Sonic Core Revelation 125. It’s been my second-favorite Dunlop model after the Pro Lite. It has a slightly larger head size than the Pro models above, and I feel like it makes the racket a little more forgiving on off-center hits. I prefer this vertical string pattern to the FX 135’s fan pattern (below). Hopefully will get a chance to compare this to the FX 110 and see which of them I like better.

Search:Dunlop FX 130
The Dunlop FX 130 replaces the Dunlop Sonic Core Revelation 135. They’ve lowered the advertised weight by 5 grams. I’m not sure why to be honest, since it’s been a 135-gram racket the whole time. I have a feeling this is more of a marketing change than an actual weight change, but I don’t know that for sure. This is the same frame shape as the FX 110 and FX 125 above, just with the little bit extra weight. But the biggest difference for me is the fan stringing pattern. That’s a personal preference and I usually prefer the conventional stringing pattern.
