Dunlop is easiest to demo by outcome: CX for control and feel, SX for spin and launch, FX for easy power and depth, with LX as the oversized comfort option.
What each range feels like, who it suits and what to check.
Control and feel
Who it’s for: Advanced and confident club players who want a more precise, connected Dunlop response.
The CX route runs through 400 and 400 Tour, with 200 as another control-led option. The 95 Tour is the advanced-player end of this family: a smaller, more demanding choice for players who already bring their own pace.
Spin and launch
Who it’s for: Baseline players who want help creating shape, height and a lively launch.
SX 300 is the sensible club default. SX 300 Tour is the tighter, more demanding comparison when you want the same spin-led family with a firmer, more controlled feel.
Easy power and depth
Who it’s for: Improving and club players who want the frame to help the ball travel deep.
FX 500 is the club starting point for accessible power. FX 500 Tour 98 is the more focused option when you want the FX idea in a tighter, more player-led package. Shops may list it as 2025 or 2026 — it’s the same racket, not a different range.
Oversized comfort
Who it’s for: Players who value a larger hitting area, easier handling and comfort over a tour-style response.
LX is Dunlop’s comfort range, with oversized heads and easier handling. Check the exact head size and weight before you buy.
Rackets in the same range get updated every year or two, and shops sometimes label the same racket with different years. Before you buy, check the model year, head size and grip on the shop or brand page, and try a demo if you can. The FX range may be listed as 2025 or 2026 for the same racket.
