The most powerful racket in Dunlop’s Biomimetic lineup, thanks to the teardrop head shape and long main strings with PowerMax pattern. A bit less maneuverable than the Revelation 125 but the power is top notch.
Update: This racket has been already replaced by a newer version – the Force Revelation 135.
Reviews:
For the 2014/2015 season, Dunlop replaced its most powerful squash racket, the Biomimetic Max, with brand new models, the Biomimetic Revelation 135 and its sister racquet Revelation 125. The head shape is similar – again a teardrop with long main strings for a lot of power, only the throat shape has been slightly modified.
And if you compare the 135 with its lighter sister, you’ll see the balance only "head light" (versus "extra head light" of the 125) and it uses the PowerMax stringing – basically a fan shape of the main strings. What these difference mean is that the Revolution 135 is a bit less maneuverable but more powerful – so while it offers the most power of all Dunlop racquets, it’s not that good for volleying, players describe it as sluggish and slower.
It feels really solid when you want to hit the ball hard and it’s still possible to control the ball quite efficiently. Also, there has been an interesting comparison with the Technifibre Carboflex 125 squash racket – it seems the Carboflex offers a bit more power but also a less forgiving sweet spot so in total, they are on a very similar level.
