Dunlop
CX 200 (2024)
The CX 200 2024 is Dunlop's most significant redesign in years, introducing Control Frame Geometry — a boxy upper hoop design that improves stability while a concave top stretches the main strings for more power and spin. Sonic Core with Infinergy is embedded in the head to increase power and reduce shock. Vibroshield at 3 and 9 o'clock adds comfort without softening the connected feel. At 305g with a 98 sq in head, it's a proper advanced player's frame with honest specs: precise, planted, and engineered for control — at one of the most accessible price points in its class.
