The Dunlop Aerogel, the official racket of the Hi-Tec World Squash Championships – Manchester 2008, is set to be unveiled to the public at next week’s British National Championships, when Britain’s leading players will be in action at Manchester’s Sportcity from Sunday 10^th to the 17th February.

Crowds watching the action at the National Squash Centre will be the first people in the world able to get their hands on the new Dunlop Aerogel racket which has been developed using state-of-the-art technological advances to offer increased racket performance for advanced and intermediate players.

Dunlop’s new range of Aerogel rackets incorporates the new cutting edge Dunlop AEROGEL™ technology.  The three-dimensional nanometer-sized molecular network delivers an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased power on all models in the range.

Dunlop’s proprietary M-Fil technology is integrated with the Aerogel carbon structure to maximise control and feel of ball contact across the racket’s hitting zone, creating the perfect balance between power and control.

AEROGEL™ technology provides stiffness at the top of the frame to produce more power, whilst at the bottom it increases torsional stability for greater control during contact. The combination of M-Fil and AEROGEL™ technology forms the ultimate racket construction.

This racket utilises a headlight balance to deliver a pro player specification. It combines a lengthened handle, widened throat area and denser string pattern to enhance both feel and control whilst retaining power generated through an oversized head.

The racket will also be available at www.worldsquash2008.com, the official site for the Hi-Tec Word Squash Championships – Manchester 2008 which will see the world’s top 64 men and leading 32 women competing for the sport’s ultimate accolade in Manchester from 11-19 October.
