Dunlop CX 400 Limited Edition Tour Tennis Racquet

The Dunlop CX 400 Tour Limited Edition is the most powerful and user-friendly member of the CX "Tour" family. While the CX 200 series focuses on maximum control, the CX 400 Tour is a "modern player's frame" that provides a larger sweet spot and more explosive pace while maintaining the signature soft feel of the CX line.

The Limited Edition version typically features a sleek, all-black or vintage-inspired "Max 200G" cosmetic, but retains the high-performance specifications of the 2024/2025 standard model.

Key Technologies

1. PowerGrid StringTech+: Features wider cross-string spacing (especially in the upper half of the hoop). This increases spin potential and creates a more consistent power level, even if you catch the ball late.
2. Control Frame Geometry: Dunlop reworked the mold to be more "box-shaped" in the throat. This significantly improves frame stability, preventing the racket from twisting when you are redirecting heavy pace.
3. Sonic Core with Infinergy®: High-elasticity material at 2 and 10 o'clock that reduces impact shock by up to 37% compared to standard carbon fiber frames.
4. Vibroshield: A highly elastic material integrated into the hoop and shaft that further filters out harsh frequencies, resulting in a very clean "thud" at impact.

Core Characteristics

1. Target Player: Intermediate to advanced players who want a "best of both worlds" racket the control and feel of a thin-beam frame combined with the power and spin of a 100 sq. inch head.
2. Performance Profile: It is faster and more forgiving than the CX 200. It excels at baseline play where you need to transition quickly from defense to offense.
3. The "Tour" Spec: Unlike the standard CX 400, the Tour model has a thinner beam and a more headlight balance, catering to players with full, fast swings.

Summary of Playability

• The CX 400 Tour is often compared to rackets like the Wilson Blade 100 or Yonex VCORE 100. It feels incredibly "whippy" and easy to maneuver at the net, but the 23mm beam provides enough "pop" to put the ball away from the baseline.

Why choose this over the CX 200?

• If you love the feel of the CX series but find that you struggle to get depth on your defensive shots or your arm gets tired after long matches, the CX 400 Tour provides that extra margin of error and "free power" without sacrificing the surgical accuracy the CX line is known for.
