Dunlop is starting to roll out a new range of squash rackets for 2020. They’re calling these the Dunlop Sonic Core range. These are updates to Dunlop models from prior years.
Here’s a trailer:
Cosmetically, these rackets have been updated to match the Hyperfibre XT rackets that came out last year, but they are being released under the new Sonic Core branding.

Hi Pierre. Would you get a chance to test the three classic head shape rackets?. also is it worth waiting for the Sonic core range for these 5 rackets cos in many countries the supply chain seems delayed a lot cos of Covid and China and there are a lot of sweet deals on the older Hyperfibre XT models..

Yes I am testing the classic ones now. If you find a good deal on the XTs I would go for it. They’re all good rackets

Well one thing is for certain. Price tags on newer rackets are becoming little bit ridiculous at times

Yes the top end rackets have definitely been creeping up fast
