Morning,
Today we are reviewing the Dunlop Blackmax Graphite 500 squash Racquet. Dunlop is another of the core racquet (racket?) builders and are well trusted in a number of different sports.

The Blackmax is a slightly older model of squash racquets which has become a standard internationally. With Dunlop’s recognition as the number one squash brand in the world it is easy to trust that the Blackmax is a quality product. It’s durability, touch and power is fantastic, despite being an ‘intermediate’ racquet. This is a racquet that I bought for my son (14) as his first racquet and he has been using it for a year now. He loves it, and still uses it even though he bought a newer HEAD racquet. Highly recommended for a good step up from something like the Blast or Agile reviewed earlier this week.
Note that the Titanium and Carbon 520 versions, listed below, are a nice upgrade for these racquets. The quality of the build, responsiveness of the hit as well as the power are seriously boosted with these versions. Still, if they are not in your budget range, the standard blackmax graphite is not to be scoffed at!
Enjoy, SR!
