Reviews

Here’s my review. In short, I have always liked this racket over the years and this model is no exception. I like the control and precision, wink wink, that I get from this frame.

Here’s a roundup video I did comparing the Precision Pro 130 with the Precision Ultimate, Precision Elite, and Hyperfibre+ Pro Lite, all of which were released in 2018:

I got a chance to try this racket out. Lots of control and feel on this one.

Here’s my roundup of all the 2016 Dunlop Precision rackets:

  1. Hey Pierre, Really like the weight/balance/swing of this racket, but could use a bit more consistent power. Any suggestions of alternatives to check out? Thanks!!

  2. Pulled the trigger and bought this one. Really loved the dunlop aerogel 4d elite…but i hopped in the ring w/ a big brute of a guy two days ago…as nice a guy you’ll meet but he’s about 6 ft 4 and 250lbs ….every swing was a sledgehammer shot. nice guy. not the best to play but hey…i remember starting out and trying to get games….anyways, his mighty swing took out my dunlop.

    getting this precision pro.

    Pierre, i was gonna use the squashgear linked here but i was able to get a new one on ebay for 55 bucks less than what squash gear offered. so, i did try but in the end i had to save some $$$

  3. Ran across a Pro 130 (no Precision). Very similar look but eems a bit heavier. Know anything about it?

      1. No, it’s very much like the current Precision Pro 130 in terms of color and design. If I could upload a picture i would.

        1. Here’s philsoc8’s photo. The one on the right says Precision Pro 130 on the throat.

          Philsoc8 says the one on the left feels thicker and heavier.

          Turns out the racket Dunlop sent me for the video review looks like the racket on the left (I don’t have it anymore but I looked closely at the video).

  4. Does anybody have more info on this one? I was looking at the Head Graphene Xenon 135, but I’m starting to like the Precision Pro 130 more. I love the cosmetics and it seems to me like it has really great control with being more head light balanced than just head balanced. It also fits a bit more comfortably in my price range. I just can’t seem to find more information on it or reviews on it. Can anybody help me please?

    1. Hi Dehan, actually yes I got a chance to try this out and will post the video in a second. It does have nice control and feels head-lighter than the Xenon 135.

  5. Dear Pierre,

    One tough one, given that you have tried many raquets, please tell me which is your favorite one…

    Thanks,

    Guido Secco

    1. Hi Guido, my old favorite is the Dunlop Pro GTS 130. Now that I’m doing this site I keep changing rackets all the time. My current go-to is the Head Graphene Xenon 135. Generally, I like traditional head shapes with a medium weight.

      1. The Head is a really good choice Pierre, I had one the last year and I miss the feeling of this racket when I try to find the nick. A problem with grommets made me change to Eye and its 120 Control. Both are so similar rackets, despite the difference of weight, a little bit more powerful the Eye, more control in the Head.
