Just picked up the latest model of this at the ToC in New York 2023. The factory strings are apparently an upgrade from the Dunlop Silk they used to put in the pre-pandemic models, but they are still not great. Hard to believe that Ali Farag uses them (in fact, I don’t believe it!). I gave them one hitting session and the empty and completely powerless “ping” feel and sound made it clear that these strings need to be replaced with some Ashaway right away. Still, I’ve loved the frame itself (though haven’t yet tried the newest model with premium strings). Dunlop would do well to just subcontract the stringing of their frames to Ashaway.

Just got my Sonic Core. I have the XT as well. Only had one hitting session, and strings aren’t the same etc, but impressions so far:
Sonic Core feels slightly heavier and slightly stiffer. I think the balance is about the same. The extra weight makes it feel slightly less maneuverable but feels more solid on contact with the ball. Extra weight maybe makes it slightly more powerful but that could also be the new strings. Notice lots of ‘slightlys’ in this comment.
So far I like it 🙂
