Product description

Combining a 115-gram frame with an extra head-light balance, the racket is built to help players react quickly, prepare their shots early and attack with confidence.

Part of Dunlop's FX performance range, the FX 115 combines lightweight carbon-fibre construction with technologies designed to improve energy transfer, responsiveness and playing comfort.

Key technologies and performance benefits

Lightweight 115 g construction

The lightweight frame allows players to accelerate and reposition the racket quickly. This is particularly valuable during fast rallies, defensive recoveries and exchanges close to the front wall. It helps players prepare earlier and respond to changing ball direction with less effort.

Extra head-light balance

The extra head-light balance makes the racket feel quick and manoeuvrable in the hand. Players can move between forehand and backhand positions rapidly, making the racket well suited to volleying, counterattacking and taking time away from an opponent.

V-Energy Shaft

Dunlop's V-Energy Shaft design is intended to increase frame stiffness and provide a firm, responsive feel at impact. Combined with the lightweight construction, it supports rapid swings and efficient energy transfer, helping attacking players generate pace without relying on a heavier racket.

Sonic Core with Infinergy®

Sonic Core technology incorporates Infinergy® material developed by BASF into the racket frame. The technology is designed to improve rebound characteristics and reduce unwanted vibrations. This aims to provide a lively response, improved comfort and a more refined feel when striking the ball.

Vibroshield vibration management

Vibroshield technology is designed to reduce unwanted vibration transmitted through the racket. This can contribute to a more comfortable playing sensation during repeated impacts and extended rallies, while maintaining the responsive feel expected from a performance racket.

500 cm² head and 14 × 18 string pattern

The 500 cm² head provides a generous hitting area, while the open 14 × 18 string pattern supports a lively string-bed response. Together, these features offer a useful combination of power, touch and manoeuvrability. Actual control and feel will also depend on string selection, tension and playing technique.

Why choose the Dunlop FX 115 2026?

The FX 115 brings together several characteristics that appeal to modern, attacking squash players:

  • Fast racket handling: Its lightweight frame and extra head-light balance support quick preparation and rapid changes of direction.

  • Power-oriented performance: The stiff shaft design and responsive frame aim to help players generate pace with an accelerated swing.

  • Improved comfort: Sonic Core with Infinergy® and Vibroshield are designed to manage unwanted vibrations.

  • Versatility in fast rallies: Its manoeuvrability is useful for aggressive volleying, counterattacking and playing under pressure.

  • Customisable playing feel: String type and tension can be adjusted to suit individual preferences for power, touch and control.

The 2026 model should be presented as a current performance option within the FX range. Specific claims about improvements over the previous generation should only be made where confirmed by Dunlop's official model-year specifications.

Which players is the racket designed for?

The Dunlop FX 115 is primarily suited to intermediate and advanced players who have developed their technique and want a quick, responsive racket for an attacking style of play.

Aggressive attacking players: Those who look to dominate the T-position, intercept the ball early and apply pressure with fast drives and volleys will appreciate its manoeuvrability.

Players with a fast swing: The lightweight frame makes it easier to accelerate the racket and prepare quickly, particularly during tight exchanges.

Technically developed players: Players who can consistently find the ball with good timing can take advantage of the racket's responsive feel and power-oriented construction.

Players who prefer lightweight rackets: Those who find heavier frames slow to manoeuvre may appreciate the balance of low weight and a firm, performance-focused response.

Although experienced players are the primary audience, suitability ultimately depends on individual preference, technique and playing style. Beginners or players who prefer a heavier, more stable feel may find a different racket more comfortable.

Summary

The Dunlop FX 115 2026 is a lightweight, performance-oriented squash racket designed for players who prioritise speed, manoeuvrability and attacking potential. Its 115 g frame, extra head-light balance, V-Energy Shaft and vibration-management technologies aim to deliver a fast, responsive playing experience.

For intermediate and advanced players who want to attack early, react quickly and generate pace with a compact swing, the FX 115 is a compelling option in Dunlop's performance range.

As a squash player, there are a few details you need to be aware of when faced with having to invest in new squash equipment.

Your squash racket can help you strengthen your weaknesses in your game once the basic technique is in place.

There are 3 points you need to consider regarding your new squash racket.

1. Geometry
2. Weight
3. Material

Geometry is about the design of the squash racket. A squash racket with a teardrop-shaped head has different properties than a squash racket with an elongated head.

When you have to choose your new squash racket, there are primarily 2 extremes in the geometry you can choose from, namely the control squash racket and the power squash racket. In between, a hybrid has been developed that unites the properties.

Examples of control squash rackets: Tecnifibre Suprem, Dunlop Precision Ultimate Zateq Superiour 130.

Examples of power squash rackets: Head Graphene Cyano, Wilson Tempest Lite, Dunlop Revelation and Zateq X-Power.

Examples of hybrid squash rackets: Dunlop Evolution, Wilson Ripper, Zateq Conqueror.

A control squash racket is characterized by the closed neck, which provides a pronounced torsional stability. At the same time, the ratio between the longitudinal and transverse strings is small, which means less trampoline effect, and thus a more precise departure angle at hits. A control squash racket will typically be a choice for the player who is looking against the technical game and who appreciates being able to place the ball accurately.

A power squash racket is characterized in that the ratio between the longitudinal strands and the transverse strands is greater. It is designed with a teardrop-shaped head where the neck is open. This allows for longer main strings, the longitudinal strings, often called "mains" (main strings). Longer strings provide more trampoline effect and thus more power. At the same time, the construction means that the torsional stability around the head is less than with the closed neck. However, the longer strings provide an increased sweetspot, which for most models means that forgiveness is higher for mishits. The power racket will be a natural choice for the player who has a more offensive style of play and who wants to push the opponent against the back wall.

The hybrid squash racket is a mixture that is constructed with a closed neck, however designed so that the strings are as long as possible. This means that a sensible compromise can be reached between power and control.

The weight of the squash racket is related to your playing style. If you are an aggressive squash player who wants to hit hard, or you are a newer squash player with a slower turn, then a heavier and head-heavy squash racket will be preferable. This will help you send the ball down to the wall, and keep your opponent busy.

If you are a squash player with a good technique, and are able to swing fast without errors, then a lighter squash racket may be preferable.

The material is extremely important when it comes to the properties of your new squash racket. Aluminum is recommended for beginners who have just started squash, as the racket does not break so easily. However, you should expect poor game quality with a cheap Alu squash racket, compared to a pure fiber racket. Vibrations can be a problem for the aluminum frames, and many models do not have an actual shaft, but just 2 rods which are attached to a plastic handle. The price is cheap, and if you only want to use the racket a few times, it can be quite a sensible choice.

For little money you can buy a squash racket in full fiber, either a mix of glass and carbon or a pure carbon squash racket. Here you get a comfortable and good racket, where the playing quality is top notch. If you choose a squash racket in fiber with a weight of 150-160 grams, then the durability is significantly different when talking squash rackets for beginners, compared to the very light carbon rackets.
