Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
A modest 265 carrying the CX line's control genes, made for someone who is not strong yet. Modena has a leaning tower that has been falling over for eight centuries without once landing. Neither will you.
Dunlop CX Team 265 Tennis Racquet: Wiligelmo carved Genesis stories across this cathedral facade, which proves every great rally begins with a beginning—so why not yours? If stone can tell a comeback story, your backhand can absolutely stop filing complaints.
Dunlop CX Team 265 Tennis Racquet: The Ghirlandina rises about 86 metres and leans beside the cathedral, and what is that if not elite core engagement? Who says a little tilt means defeat—sometimes it means character, balance, and a very dramatic warm-up.
Dunlop CX Team 265 Tennis Racquet: Mercato Albinelli is an Art Nouveau market hall built around its famous fruit-bearer fountain, reminding us that champions fuel first and volley second. Can you smell the produce and the possibility, or is that just your footwork ripening?
Dunlop CX Team 265 Tennis Racquet: Palazzo Ducale has a Baroque facade and now houses Italy's military academy, so discipline is literally standing in front of us wearing architecture. Are we going to salute our training plan, or let the lobs overthrow the kingdom?
Look at me. You bought a control racquet before you had a swing, it hurt, and you decided the problem was you. The problem was not you. The problem was the frame weighed more than your technique could carry. That is what the CX Team 265 exists to fix.
Here is the honest position. The CX Team sits in Dunlop's mid-range, under the tour frames, and it is a light one — built so a developing player can get the head through the ball on time rather than arriving late and blaming themselves.
It carries the control character the CX name stands for: a frame that reports the strike back to you instead of launching everything, so what you learn on it is real. What it gives you is swing speed you can actually produce, on a control platform you will not outgrow in a season.
Dunlop does not sell it as a power frame and I am not going to sell it to you as one either.
Have it strung by someone who asks how often you play, because on a light frame the string bed is doing more of the work than you think.
And now Modena, because there is a lesson standing in the middle of it. The Ghirlandina is eighty-six metres of bell tower and it leans. Nobody has straightened it, nobody has knocked it down, and it is still ringing.
It has leaned for the better part of eight hundred years.
Beside it, Wiligelmo carved the entire book of Genesis across the front of the cathedral in stone, and he did it in a city that had no idea it was making something people would cross the world for. Ask yourself what you are building. Then go and hit.
You will get use out of this racquet everywhere from a slow first month to a club match back home, and by the way — the Mercato Albinelli, Art Nouveau ironwork around a fountain of a girl carrying fruit, is where this city goes to eat, and you have earned it.
"Nobody straightened the tower. It rang anyway."
