Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
The thin one of the CX 200s: 98 in², 290 g bare, an airy 16×19, and not a shred of pretence about it. It would rather take you into the cathedral at Palma after dark, when the great window has nothing left to colour.
Dunlop CX 200 LS Tennis Racquet: Hush now… La Seu’s rose window is so vast it feels like the cathedral is staring back, and Gaudí really did add the wrought-iron baldachin over the altar. If it swings, I’m blaming the draft… probably.
Dunlop CX 200 LS Tennis Racquet: Step softly… the Almudaina began as an Islamic fortress and was later reshaped into a royal residence after the Christian conquest of Mallorca. The racquet says it heard footsteps; the truth is stranger—it’s still used for royal ceremonies.
Dunlop CX 200 LS Tennis Racquet: Whisper with me… the Banys Arabs preserve a small domed bathing chamber held up by reused stone columns, which is thrifty, historic, and mildly suspicious. Even ghosts respect good recycling.
Dunlop CX 200 LS Tennis Racquet: Lower your voice… Bellver Castle is a 14th-century Gothic fortress with an unusually circular plan and a detached keep watching from above the pine woods. A round castle? The medieval architects clearly wanted every echo to find you.
Come closer. Not because of the racquet — the racquet is honest and I will get to it — but because of what happens on this island after the tour buses leave, and I would rather not be overheard.
The CX200 LS is the light member of a control family. It carries a 98 square inch head, 290 grams unstrung, and a 16×19 string bed with a balance of 325 millimetres, which is properly head-light and makes it quick in the hand.
First, the truth, whispered.
It is not a 300-gram frame and it will not hit like one; what it gives back is speed of preparation, which for most players is the more useful currency. The stiffness sits at 65 RA, on the flexible side, and the frame comes unstrung so the bed is yours to choose.
Inside are the four CX technologies: Sonic Core with Infinergy in both sides of the head for rebound and vibration absorption, Vibroshield to strip the sting out of an off-centre ball, Powergrid Stringtech+ for spin and power through the central hitting area, and Control Frame Geometry, which stiffens the frame for stability while leaving a concave flex in the side hoop.
And now Palma. Go into La Seu at the right hour of the morning and the light comes through the great rose window and lands on the floor in colours, in a shape, and it moves — slowly, but it moves — and twice a year it settles directly beneath the smaller window on the far wall so that two roses hang in the same dark air at once. People wait years for that.
Gaudí's wrought-iron baldachin hangs above the altar like something suspended in a dream nobody has woken from.
You will get use out of this frame everywhere from a hot afternoon by the harbour to a floodlit court back home, and by the way — the Banys Àrabs, that small domed chamber built on columns robbed from older buildings, is the quietest place in the city and nobody knows why the columns do not match. Nobody. They just do not.
"Light, quick, and completely unwilling to lie to you about the strike."
