The Dunlop CX 400 Tour tennis racquet is a versatile and user-friendly option for a wide range of players. With its slightly squared-off beam and 100 sq. in. head size, it offers a blend of power, control, and maneuverability.
The racquet’s Powergrid Stringtech+ technology enhances spin potential and power, while the box-shaped hoop at the 2 and 10 o’clock positions improves stability and stiffness. The Vibroshield vibration dampening material provides a comfortable feel at contact.
On ground strokes, the CX 400 Tour delivers consistent depth and pace with minimal effort. It offers free power when defending against bigger hitters and controlled pop when hitting inside-out. The 16×19 head pattern provides good bite and generous topspin.
On serves, the racquet’s combination of power and maneuverability allows for easy pace and spin. It handles both hard kick serves and sliced serves effectively. As a returner, the CX 400 Tour is quick and stable, enabling players to block back challenging first serves and draw early offense from second serves.
At net, the racquet offers versatility, from reflex volleys to sharp punches. It provides a comfortable level of dampening and stability without sacrificing feel. This makes it suitable for change-of-pace tactics such as drop shots, angles, and lobs.
While the CX 400 Tour may not be as boisterous as some competing racquets in its class, it offers a balanced combination of features that appeal to a wide range of players and styles. Its under-the-radar status makes it a sleeper worth checking out.
