Dunlop Biomimetics Technology
Biomimetic - New for 2011 - 2012
DUNLOP'S BIOMIMETIC SQUASH RACKETS POSSESS TECHNOLOGY MILLIONS OF YEARS IN THE MAKING
Biomimetics means to 'imitate life,' and the seven new rackets do just that- they draw their key design features from some of nature's most evolved creatures: the shark, the bee and the gecko. The three technologies that fall under the Biomimetic umbrella are:
Aeroskin: The patented technology strategically applied to the surface of Biomimetic rackets. Like the skin of a shark, Aeroskin is a highly textured surface that reduces aerodynamic drag by up to 25% (vs. previous Dunlop technology) for increased racket head speed and power. (See image above.)
HM6 Carbon: A newly designed carbon compound that mimics the hexagonal structure of a honeycomb, one of nature's strongest and most efficient structures. The HM6 carbon is placed between Aerogel-enhanced carbon to reduce racket vibration by up to 10% for ultimate energy return and feel. (See image above.)
Gecko-Tac: The name given to Dunlop's new grip surface treatment. Much like the pads found on gecko's feet, which can even cling upside down to wet surfaces, Gecko-Tac grip provides up to 50% more grip and tack than previous Dunlop grips, giving players greater feel and precision with their racket. (See image above.)
Steve Hall, Director of Marketing for Dunlop Racket Sports, said, "Squash players are going to love the feel and playability of these new Biomimetic rackets. The launch of the Dunlop Biomimetic tennis range was our most successful ever, and as the number one brand in squash we expect a similar result."
