CX 400 Tour (2024)

intermediate202416x19

The CX 400 Tour is Dunlop's sweet spot in the control-oriented CX family — a 295g, accessible performance frame that delivers the CX line's signature comfort and feel at a price intermediate players can justify. Sonic Core Infinergy technology keeps the response plush and vibration-free, while the 16x19 pattern provides enough spin access for modern topspin play.

The CX 400 Tour is the gateway drug to Dunlop's premium CX family. It delivers genuine Dunlop comfort technology at a price that makes demoing a no-brainer. Consistently surprises players who haven't tried Dunlop before.
