Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
100 in², 300 g, poised at 320 mm, control-family technology in a friendlier shape and wearing that 1982 paint. The way it catches the light in Newcastle upon Tyne is genuinely unreal.
Dunlop CX 400 Tour Limited Tennis Racquet: Okay, check the light because Earl Grey is literally serving from 130 feet up on that stone column—are we getting this vertical drama? This is giving reform-era main character energy. #MonumentMood #ServeFromAbove
Dunlop CX 400 Tour Limited Tennis Racquet: Besties, this is giving indoor market glow-up—Grainger Market opened in 1835, and the iron-and-glass roof is basically doing our lighting design for free. Are we getting the racquet in the arcades? #HistoricButMakeItContent
Dunlop CX 400 Tour Limited Tennis Racquet: The Norman keep beside the Black Gate barbican is giving fortress-core, and yes, I did bring a racquet to a castle because content waits for no drawbridge. Group, are we getting the stonework and the strings? #CastleServe #MedievalFitCheck
Dunlop CX 400 Tour Limited Tennis Racquet: This steel arch over the Quayside is giving iconic skyline, and the racquet is absolutely acting like it paid for the bridge. Are we getting the angle, or do I need to hashtag out loud harder? #TyneTime #ArchEnergy
Okay so — is everyone getting this? Because I need you to see this frame in daylight before I say anything else. The CX400 Tour Limited is the CX line's forgiving one, and the Limited Edition paint is doing something no other racquet on this shelf is doing. That is not the pitch. The pitch is underneath.
Here are the actual numbers, because I checked them and you should too. One hundred square inches of head, 300 grams unstrung, and a 320 millimetre balance, which is head-light — so it swings fast, and the bigger hoop gives you a sweet spot that forgives the ball you caught half a beat late.
Dunlop builds it as a control frame with power and feel, which in practice means it does not punish an intermediate the way the 95 square inch Tour frames do.
The technology is the full CX set: Sonic Core with Infinergy in both sides of the head for rebound and vibration absorption, Vibroshield to cut the buzz through the frame and throat, Powergrid Stringtech+ widening the cross spacing for spin and power in the middle of the bed, and Control Frame Geometry for stability through the swing.
The Limited Edition dress comes from the MAX 200G of 1982, which is the single most quietly stylish thing Dunlop has ever done and I am amazed it took this long to come back.
And Newcastle upon Tyne. You stand under Grey's Monument, a hundred and thirty feet of stone column with Earl Grey on the top of it, and the whole street plan spills out around you in that pale, confident stone.
This is giving industrial grandeur, and I mean that as the highest compliment available.
Then the Tyne Bridge, one enormous steel arch over the Quayside, which is the shot, and it is the shot at every hour of the day. Take this racquet everywhere from a windy morning on the Quayside to an indoor court back home, and by the way, Grainger Market under its iron and glass roof has been trading since 1835 and the light in there at eleven in the morning is unmatched.
"Control-line engineering in a shape that stops arguing with you."
