Which among HF+XT Pro lite and HF+ Evolution do you prefer.. specifically 1) which has more power 2) which feels heavier on the swing
I recently started playing seriously after 10 years and bought a TF Dynergy 120, it’s not really a good racquet. Switched immediately to my 10 year old Dunlop aerogel elite, looking to buy one of these two.. Pro Lite (Sarah Jane Perry) and Evolution (Declan James). But don’t want to spend too much money and not use the raquet.. looking for a raquet with extra power and good for volleying.

Right now I prefer the Pro Lite. Prior to that I used the Evolution, so they are both good rackets. I think the Pro Lite is a little faster through the air. This makes it a little quicker for volley and also gives a little more power since you can swing it faster. The Evolution was maybe a little better for control

have just ordered this and i look forward to giving it a go. I’ve been a Wilson man as long as I can remember – currently using an Ultra Countervail.
the last Dunlop racquet i had was my Dad’s old Black Max. I see one is on ebay. I was thinking it was tempting, but that head size…

It was good while it lasted…
I really liked it, but after a seemingly innocuous knock the frame has broken after a handful of games. To say I’m disappointed is a bit of an understatement. My Wilson prior to my Ultra Countervail lasted for several years (and is still fine to use), playing week-in week-out, despite the bumper strip wearing out and going through to the carbon fibre where the racquet rubs against the side wall.

Great videos, that I have been enjoying for a long time now- thanks and keep it going!
How would you compare this racquet to the Carboflex 125, 125s or 125x?

Hi Pierre
I have been in contact with pdh sports with regards to buying myself the new Dunlop Hyperfibre xT revelation pro lite and asked them to weigh the racket for its all in weight to match you 151.5grams review weight. They came back to me after weighing 10 plus rackets and they all came in at around 160 to 165 grams ?
So my question is why the huge difference to your scales
Your very confused
Pierre says
()
Dang that’s a pretty big difference! I just ordered a couple so we shall see how they compare. Maybe this one has tiger blood.
nick says

probably still had packaging on it
Pierre says
()
Yeah probably. I could see the plastic wrap over the grip, the face card, and the little Dunlop shock absorber all adding up to 10 grams. I’ll measure one with all that included when I get the new rackets in.
Nick says

I had quite a variance from a number of Evolution Pro rackets I bought. They ranged from 153g to 163g, with noticeable difference in balance. I was actually just thinking today doing a solo practice how different one of my rackets felt to another.
If you want consistency with the rackets, you might like to visit a shop in person, or order more than you need and send back the outliers.
Pierre says

A good reason to shop with the local pro!
Jeroen Mulderij says

When they make a racket, there is a certain margin they have which is +- 5 grams and also a bit with the balance. So it is possible that when you buy two of the same rackets, that the difference between them is 10 grams. If you want exactly the same rackets you can match your rackets at http://www.qss-squash.com. They do a great job with tuning your rackets to equal specs, so that there is no difference between the rackets anymore. They do this a lot in tennis, but squash not that much yet.

Could you comment on whether you prefer this over the Prince Vortex Pro 650 and why? Am debating between the two! Nowhere near for me to have a feel for either.
Pierre says

I am using the Pro Lite for the 2019 season so it’s my top pick at the moment. Prince rackets are kind of a special unicorn, you either love them or you don’t. The looped stringing pattern is pretty unique. I’m just not used to them.
