What players say
The Limited Edition is a cosmetic-only version of the Dunlop CX 400 Tour (same 100 sq in head, 300g/16x19 layup, retailers confirm it plays identically), so reviewer feedback comes from the standard CX 400 Tour, which testers rate highly for spin and comfort with a light-for-the-category swingweight that a few found unstable on off-center hits. Tennis Warehouse's four-person playtest crew scored it 8.4/10 overall and Tennisnerd called it a sleeper contender for racquet of the year. The main knock is that some players wanted more raw pop and mass through the hoop.
Best for
- Spin-focused all-court players
- 4.0+ players wanting comfort over max power
- Doubles and net players who value maneuverability
- Players moving up from a tweener into a control frame
Pros
- Open 16x19 pattern makes it very easy to generate topspin and racquet head speed
- Comfortable, plush feel at impact with low harsh vibration
- Good balance of power and control, more depth and pace access than the CX 200
- Easy to maneuver for net play, returns, and quick exchanges
Cons
- Light swingweight leads to some instability on off-center volleys
- A few testers wanted more raw pop/plow-through on serves and groundstrokes
- As a cosmetic limited run, no independent playtests exist for this exact colorway; feedback is carried over from the standard CX 400 Tour

This racquet was ridiculously easy to generate racquet head speed with.

The CX 400 Tour was very easy to maneuver, and I thought it could benefit from just a little bit of added weight to boost stability.
— Tiffani (4.0 baseline player, Tennis Warehouse playtest team), Web
Easier depth and access to pace than the CX 200.
— Jason (4.0 baseline player, Tennis Warehouse playtest team), Web
The one downside here was the power level. I was expecting just a bit more pop.
— Jonas Eriksson, Tennisnerd, Web
All the players that tested this racquet with me said they could use it in a match.

In matches I might find it too powerful.
