Dunlop CX400 Tour (2024)

Updated with a new mold, the 2024 CX 400 Tour offers easy targeting and great feel to intermediate and advanced players. Compared to the CX 200, this racquet features a thicker, more powerful beam,  and it packs the kind of explosive acceleration and spin-friendly precision that aggressive players crave. For this update, Dunlop retools the beam, adding more of a box shape below the 10/2 axis to enhance stability, control and feel. Additional changes for 2024 include Powergrid Stringtech+, which features wider cross-string spacing to enhance spin and power. Dunlop also updates the stiffness profile, adding greater flexibility on the inner part of the frame for enhanced dwell time and pocketing, while also stiffening the racquet's face for added stability and power. To help reduce harsh impact vibrations, Dunlop adds a highly elastic material (named Vibroshield) to the midsection of both the hoop and shaft. This is complemented by Sonic Core with Infinergy, a uniquely pliable material applied to the 3/9 axis of the head to boost comfort and power. Ultimately, with some incremental tweaks to the feel and response, the 400 Tour continues to be a great option for intermediate and advanced players looking for a speedy and spin-friendly modern player's racquet with above average comfort and feel.
