Here’s a quick video review I did of this racket. Really enjoyed the crisp feel of this model. As mentioned in the video, part of that could be the strings, which are the Dunlop Iconic Pro AF.
Here is the prior version of the Dunlop Sonic Core 120. This came out in 2020 and replaced the Dunlop Hyperfibre+ Evolution Pro.

Reviews
Here’s my review of this racket, which was provided by Dunlop for me to review (thanks Dunlop). Almost zero vibration on this racket, very solid.
Dunlop Sonic Core Evolution 120 Review Transcript
This is 120 gram racket on my scale all in with everything it’s 157 and a half grams and on my balance scales it’s a 52 percent of that weight in the head that’s the lightest head lightest reading i’ve gotten so far since switching to that method of doing things this felt super solid on court today i was testing a different racket uh prior to this and i thought it was thinking oh wow this is really low vibration but then grabbing this afterward this is almost zero vibration so it’s very solid
I think some of that’s got to be this frame shape it has the extra stability of this uh piece in the throat i guess you call that a hybrid shape and some of that’s probably the string as well this is the dunlop great white string that’s their stock string hitting through this is it feels absolutely just rock solid all the way through i like the cosmetics they’ve got a blue and green style and we here’s the marketing card normally look like that they’ve updated it to have that kind of thing with the dunlop arrow that green you can see on the frame as well that they’ve been doing the last couple of years
I think it looks good this is nick matthews signature frame they are dunlop’s the sponsor official racket of the psa world tour they’ve actually got a bag that they sent me with a psa um world tour kind of branded bag that i’ll be reviewing later as well this is the back of the card i kind of like how they did this it’s just all their pros and they’ve got them all stacked up here this thing is 200 bucks in the u.s it’s dunlop’s top of the line racket range and it’s coming out in 2020 i’ll have more videos on the other dunlops that have come out this year many thanks to dunlop for sending me these to review
Notes
This used to be the Nick Matthew signature racket. I presume we’ll still see Nick in the marketing for this frame.
