Srixon CX Models 🔴
Dunlop CX Models are focused on combining control, ball feedback, and speed.
Head Sizes
CX Models come in head sizes varying from 95-100 square inches. The smaller 95 and 98-square-inch head sizes are designed for more control-demanding competitive players. On the other hand, the larger 100-head sizes are designed for players who want slightly more power production and forgiveness.
Weight
The more competitive CX models weigh from 10.9oz (310 grams) to 10.8oz (305 grams). There are also lighter and easier models that weigh from 10.2oz (290 grams) to 10.6oz (300 grams)
CX 200 Tour 18×20
CX 200 Tour 18×20 is the most competitive CX Model. It has a small head size of 95 square inches and it weighs 11.1oz (315 grams). Because of the smaller head size, the sweet spot of the racket is also smaller which makes it harder but more accurate to play with.
CX 200 Tour 18×20 has a more closed string pattern of 18×20 which produces less spin and more control because the strings have less room to move.
Due to its very small head size, higher weight, and closed string pattern, the CX 200 Tour 18×20 is the most control and feel-focused CX Model.
CX 200 Tour is best suited for advanced players who are looking for the most control-focused CX model.
Price range: $200 / 260€

CX 200 Tour 16×19
CX 200 Tour 16×19 is the second most competitive model in the CX series. It has the extremely small 95 square inch head size as the 18×20 model but it weighs 0.2oz (5 grams) less. The more open 16×19 string pattern makes this model more favorable for spin and power production since the strings have more room to move.
Compared to the CX 200 Tour the 16×19 model is a little bit easier to play with because of its reduced weight and open string pattern. However, it is good to remember that it is still a demanding player’s racket since it has a 95-square-inch head size.
CX 200 Tour 16×19 is best suited for advanced players who want a little bit more spin and power-producing Tour model.
