The CX 200 Tour 16x19 from Dunlop is suitable for advanced players with big swings requiring a racquet with exceptional feel, flex and control for an impactful and dynamic game. The 16x19 string pattern brings easier power and spin generation than the 18x20 version.
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.
With a 95 square inch headsize, this racquet is on the smaller side for modern standards, offering a compact sweet spot that delivers precise control for those adept at consistent hitting. Weighing a heavier-than-average 10.9 ounces (unstrung), it provides substantial stability and power on forceful swings. The head-light balance enhances the racquet's manoeuvrability, crucial for generating power in a control-focused design and for quick net play that can alter the course of the game. Additionally, the beam's thickness and the racquet's overall flexibility contribute to a comfortable, arm-friendly experience while increasing the "dwell-time" of the ball on the strings, thus improving 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 16x19 model offers easier depth and spin than the 18x20, but it is still challenging to manage and can significantly enhance your play if you have the confidence and skill.

- 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.
