The CX 200 from Dunlop is suitable for strong intermediate to advanced players requiring a dynamic racquet that brings a high degree of control, exceptional flex and feel with impressive punch.
For its 2024 update, Dunlop has redesigned the racquet's beam for improved stability and control, and introduced Powergrid Stringtech+ for better spin and power. The frame now features increased flexibility for better pocketing, with new materials added to reduce vibrations and enhance comfort.
The headsize at 98 square inches, being slightly smaller than average, gives a tighter sweet spot for increased precision for those who can hit it consistently. It's heavier than average weight at 10.8 ounces (unstrung) will provide good stability and power generation on big swings. Its head-light balance increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power on a control-oriented racquet as well as conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys. The beam thickness and overall flex of this racquet brings a comfortable, arm-friendly feel while also allowing more "dwell-time" of the ball on the strings for increased control and spin potential.
The racquet features advanced technologies for enhanced performance. Sonic Core uses a super-elastic material at key points to increase rebound and reduce vibrations for more comfort. Vibroshield in the frame enhances control by dampening vibrations. Powergrip Stringtech+ improves spin and power with a refined string pattern. Control Frame Geometry enhances stability and increases spin through an optimized frame shape and vertical string movement, collectively boosting control, comfort, and power.
This racquet offers precise control and supports powerful swings without the risk of overhitting. The CX 200 offers easier depth and spin generation than the Tour counterparts due to its slightly bigger headsize and slightly stiffer frame. This racquet should prove popular among a wide variety of skilled players looking to enhance their control game while maintaining some "pop".

- Sonic Core: Located at the 2 and 10 o’clock areas of the racquet. Super-elastic, super-light material, offers rebound properties significantly higher than other materials. Reduced vibrations mean reduced impact and more comfort.
- Vibroshield: Feel the control when hitting. The high elasticity properties of the vibration dampening material within the racquet frame reduce vibrations and gives an increased feeling of control when hitting.
- Powergrip Stringtech+: Hit with increased spin and power. The updated string pattern enables increased spin and power in the central hitting area.
- Control Frame Geometry: Improved stability, and greater spin and power. Advancements to the frame shape provide improved stability in the face and throat of the racquet. And more vertical string length means increased string movement for greater spin and power.
