Endorsed by Nick Matthew, the new Dunlop Hyperfibre+ Evolution Pro Nick Matthew racket is aimed at attacking players who are looking for power + extra stiffness and stability. It has an oversized 75.9in2 (490cm2) headsize for more power and control even on off centre hits.
Cut through the air faster due to Dunlop's Aero Profile and AeroSkin CX technologies.
A forgiving feel and more spin due to Parallel Strung technology.
Great White 17G string offers a combination of spin and comfort
This lightweight 120g (4.2oz) racket features an extra head light balance for manoeuvrability. Supplied with a full-length cover.
Hyperfibre +. Hyperfibre material has been re-worked and engineered into the 2 and 10 o’clock positions on the racket to add extra stiffness and durability. The added stiffness coupled with the frame aerodynamics deliver ultimate power for aggressive players.
Parallel Strung. Grommet holes, pegs and string are in exact alignment across the main hitting area, this allows for greater string moment and response. This increases the sweet spot size for more power, more spin and more forgiving feel.
Aeroskin PX. Ultra fast skin. Engineered surface texture mimicking shark skin which smooth's airflow and reduces drag by up to 35% over non-textured surfaces
Glide Polymer. Reduces Friction - Unique polymer contains micro beads of MOS2 mineral that reduces friction interaction between grommet and string by up to 27% allowing greater string movement for enhanced power.
Increased Durability - Glide polymer also reinforces the polymer matrix increasing durability and grommet life by up to 40%.
Flight Geometry. Updated pentagonal geometry in the shaft portion of the racket has been tuned to provide multi-directional aerodynamics allowing the racket to cut through the air faster whilst its unique 5 sided shape provides increased power as well as adding stability.
Please note: this racket cannot be restrung in a hybrid string.

Have had one of these for a few weeks now. Also have an Evolution Pro Lite 125g. There's no noticeable weight difference (in fact, the Nick Mattews 120g is a touch heavier on the scales - 158g strung vs 153g strung). No real difference in how they play, despite being slightly different head styles. Both racquets are outstanding in every respect - so solid and stable in striking the ball, awesome touch. Was expecting to have to replace the Dunlop Great White strings in the Pro Lite immediately but six months later I am still using them. They play great.
After many years of Technifibre, I have gone Dunlop and will not go back - best move ever. Have one of these and one of the Revelation Pro Lites - no noticeable weight difference and both play very similar - outstanding in every respect, so stable and awesome touch. Was expecting to have to get them re-strung immediately but six months later am still using the factory strings. Get great feel out of the thicker strings, strangely.
I've been using classic style for 20 years or so but have been wanting to try teardrop for a while and was just waiting for one that had specs that appealed to me. This did. It was light, and not only head light but extra head light. I like the change from classic—the sweet spot feels further away from the hand. It'll take another game or so to get used to fully but it's a change i'm happy to adopt. For some reason, balls tight on the side wall feel easier to hit, and they're hit better. I'm happy with the racquet but at the same time also a bit disappointed. I don't believe it's extra head light, and i'm not even sure it's head light. It comes with a lot of additional weight on the handle (the grip, 9g, as well as extraneous padding, ~6g). Another gram or 2 could still come off with the staples and rubber at the bottom, but i left it there for now. I replaced it all with a 4g grip. The balance point is 315mm from the top of the frame (345mm from the bottom). That doesn't say extra head light to me. I was tempted to knock a star off for this, but i haven't done as the overall lightness of the racquet is still there obviously. Strung weight (default strings) is 138g. I still don't like default Dunlop strings. They feel thick.
