By means of the relatively low balance by 31.5 can you free comfortable speed generate. You will there yourself well something in must fuses, either of An flexible fast technology or of any muscle strength. Also bee It serve do the CX 2.0 think On the Hot Melt 300G: a lot of precision and yet sufficient power.

In combination of the royal sweet spot and It Open string pattern can you a lot of heavy balls closed in return for the lines On to lay.

The Dunlop CX 2.0 offers a lot of control of An forgiving big sweet spot, yet more than for example An Wilson Blade 98. The Dunlop CX 2.0 has An nice combination by control, feeling and power. This takes care of before that you as player constant It feeling have the ball complete under control at to have without that you at few length in you to succeed gets.
Comfort/Arm-friendliness:
The Dunlop CX 2.0 feels in all respects comfortable On and gave me no arm problems. This racket may in her category Certainly to the more poor-friendly racquets become counted.
General Impression:
It to see by the black demo frames numbered by 1 up to 6 woke up immediately mine interest, perhaps because I as tester everything what new is interesting find. Mine enthusiasm took further to when I the frames An for An in the hand name. The first two frames are slim of An nice classic box beam. The Dunlop Srixon CX 2.0 brought me back in the time by the Dunlop Hot Melt 300G, An beautiful frame. Years later have I are heavier brother An time long played, the Dunlop Aerogel 300 Tour. Also weather An Tasty frame of An nice combination by control and feeling.
Comeback by Dunlop?
Mine first thought bee the Dunlop Srixon CX 2.0 is “yes” Dunlop is back! Mine thought is becoming bee It to hit by the first balls immediately confirmed. What An Delicious low/medium powered frame. Precisely heavy enough to hard balls On at be able to to take and light enough to racket head speed at to create. It feeling is Nice muted. Also the sweet spot is free generous. This Dunlop Srixon CX 2.0 feels as An Nice balanced quality frame that himself comfortable can to measure of for example An Wilson Blade.
After eight o'clock to test can I of full conviction say that Dunlop in it is passed An qualitative high quality frame at to develop of a lot of feeling and sufficient power. The Dunlop CX 2.0 is An serious competitor for the Wilson Blade 98 16x19 CV. By means of are average weight is It frame suitable for An wide group players.
