What is new in the Dunlop CX 2024? Let’s have a look at the technologies.
Technologies
Some technologies should be familiar from the previous generation of Dunlop CX Racquets.
Sonic Core
• Located at the 2 and 10 o’clock areas of the racket.
• Super-elastic, super-light material, offers rebound properties significantly higher than other materials.
• Reduced vibrations mean reduced impact and more comfort.
Vibroshield
The high elasticity properties of the vibration-dampening material within the racket frame reduce vibrations and give an increased feeling of control when hitting.
Powergrid Stringtech+
The updated string pattern increases spin and power in the central hitting area.
Control frame geometry
Advancements to the frame shape provide improved stability in the face and throat of the racket. And more vertical string length means increased string movement for greater spin and power.

Keen to try them, they look good. Potential switch for me. Hope they bumped up the swingweights but won’t hold my breath.
