Dunlop brings its famed Flying D design—and new technology—to its new super premium CX Series tennis racket range.
The brand touts the CX Series as "its most technologically advanced to date."

Powered by Srixon technology, the CX Series has been developed over the past 18 months to provide players with increased power, comfort and control.
The CX Series is designed for the modern player, with Dunlop’s research and development team identifying that many performance rackets are underpowered towards the top of the racket.
Modern day players now hit the ball with more spin, and at the top of the racket as opposed to the center. Dunlop has designed the CX Series to have a 30 percent larger sweet spot, so players can play with more confidence, particularly on off-center hits.
It's the latest move for the iconic brand, which re-signed Rod Laver and signed on as the official ball of the Australian Open.
The CX Series is endorsed by Dunlop’s Tour Team players including two-time Grand Slam finalist Kevin Anderson, who will use the CX 200 Tour 18x20 during the 2019 season.
