If you're a beginner: I just bought this racket and loved it immediately. I tried 4 other rackets and this was the best out of the bunch. What I like about this racket was the weight distribution, volleys were much easier to deal with, no vibration and I did feel like I had better control. I did have to bring down my power a few notches .. but I was much more accurate on placement than before. If you're strong and a beginner (or play squash), go with a thinner string for help on spins/control and 50lb tension to balance the power. I tried a few different configs and this was the best for me.
The Dunlop CX200-CX400 line have always received such favourable feedback and the specs land right in my wheelhouse, I am going to have to try one soon.
Just do it. I switched to the cx400 tour about 6 months ago, it’s the best racquet I’ve ever used. I bought a second one last month. I’m a 4.0 player, 56 years old. It does everything. Power, spin, control, comfort. I’ll be using it for a long time. I’ve tried a lot of racquets on the market. This Dunlop is terrific
@@ramakrishnamitta7024 Technifibre x-one biphase at 52lbs or 23.5kg. It's an expensive string but worth it for me, very comfortable. I re-string every 6 months and it lasts just fine playing about twice a week.
The old 400 Tour was pretty good except that it had a very dense 16x19 pattern and a slightly unrefined feel to the layup. Other than that it was a great control orientated 100 (needs lead though).
This cx400 is a great improvement miles further from predecessor for sure. In this iteration they include their new layup called ‘paid review’. Whereas these youtubers buy their own cx400, but they getting paid this time. Cmon man it’s similar racket
Looking to move on from my 2022 CX200 to something bigger with a bit more pop but still have feel. What can I expect if I make a move to this. Thanks all
How can you test racquets in such cold weather? Coach Chris is wearing gloves! The cold changes too many factors to make racquet testing accurate. The strings are stiffer, the ball does not bounce as well and feels dead, players muscles are not as flexible and their play is impacted by bulky clothing. Please consider finding a sponsor that has indoor facilities.
@@smashthestateX Recently, I tried hitting some balls in low 50 degree (Farenheit) weather. The ball bounced very low and erratically, and slower - it was unpredictable. It was nearly impossible to play tennis at all under those conditions - which were warmer than the conditions of this playtest as my breath was not fogging up.

@@crsantin Thank You.
Wasn’t anything wrong with the previous cx 400 tour… was a nice racquet, as I’m sure this one will be…
How is the power compared to the previous gen?
did coach chris ever decide on a racket? it would be great to see a video on his racket journey!
