Dunlop CX 200 vs Pro Staff 97

Just got myself a used Dunlop CX 20016x19 and got a chance to play singles and doubles games with it. In comparison with my regular frame, the PS97 (2014), I have concluded that the CX 200 in comparison with PS97 are as follow:

  • Power: definitely low compare to PS97
  • Spin: the spin are there given my old-school forehand
  • Comfort: definitely plush, played 3 single games in a row and no issue
  • Forehand: low powered, should aim higher 
  • Backhand: low powered, should aim higher
  • Slice: low powered, should aim higher
  • Serve: low powered, need propel forward
  • Volley: plush, can touch volley

  • Both by chance use same multi string. On doubles game where you need to attack, it is best to used low powered racquet so your strokes do not sail through. There was this closely doubles match that i started with the CX then PS because a nephew need a lighter racquet then change back to CX to close the game with a win. Never before I switch from PS for the better game. The CX 200 is definitely a nice controlled plush racquet. At first I thought this would replace PS97, but no, each serves different purposes.

    Note: changed leather grip and lead to the CX
