Comments: At first I hated this frame for being so heavy and under powered. But after dropping my tension from 60 to 52, I started getting better pace and much more power. I highly recommend playing around with tension at much lower than your used to, and you'll see this racquet really start to shine. It's a really solid frame and it's weight and balance is just perfect for serve and volleys.

Comments: This is a very, very,good stick (especially at this price). I have been playing for over 30 years. The last 5 years I've been playing with the Dunlop 200 M-Fils, which is a great player's racquet. The 4D 200 series actually has all the same control and stability, but a better touch and feel at the net with ample power from the baseline. Service returns are very controlled, even against the big hitters.

Comments: This is a great stick from the baseline and good on serve returns, but for me I found it was too small a headsize when it comes to the net, especially when I play doubles. The weight is great and the stiffness is great too. I switched to the Head Youtek Extreme Pro and it really helped me play better and win me some tournaments here in our place.

From: Gage, 8/12

Comments: Great stick! I love it. I've only hit with it once, but I can tell it's going to be fun to play with. Accuracy is dead on. Coming from a 104 head size Wilson K Factor, this racquet has pinpoint accuracy. If you know how to swing right, power is there too. My backhand also showed much improvement on this racquet. Much faster and more accurate. I love the weight as well. Anything under 11.5 ounces is way to light, and anything over 12.3 ounces is too heavy for me, so 11.9 ounces fits just right. My flat serve is just lacking a little bit. Getting used to the racquet might take a while. Kick serves are amazing on this racquet. Very consistent with much kick. Spin is also very nice. If you do it right, you'll see plenty of results. Overall, it is a great racquet! However, if you'd like to go heavier, get the Tour version. It has the same head size but with a 12.3 oz weight.

Comments: This is a great racquet. I just received the racquet and been hitting for a week. So far the racquet had been pretty good and the spins generated by the 18 x 20 string pattern adds control to the shots. Hefty racquet at 11.9 ounces, I needed to get used to the heaviness. Once I adjust, this racquet will deliver.
From: Martin, 5/12

Comments: This racquet is exceptional in all areas except spin production, as expected with a closed pattern. Best part about this racquet is superior feel and plow through. It gives the best of these compared to other racquets I've tried in stock form (I really love this in stock form). Cheers!
From: Tony, 5/12

Comments: Started playing again last year after a long layoff and was convinced to buy a larger, stiffer frame (70 stiffness rating, 100 sqin). Big mistake. The power was great, but after an entire season of trying to tame it and tinkering with strings, I was done. I was losing matches that I felt I should've been winning in my 4.0 league. I had to switch from a one handed back hand to a two hander just to keep the ball in play, and a drop volley was just out of the question. Picked this up a couple months ago, and I love it. I can't rip impressive winners like I did with the other racquet, but I don't make nearly as many errors. My first serve has less pace, but again it's much more consistent and I'm putting it where I want it. Also, the one hander is back!!! The biggest improvement is my enjoyment of the game. Feeling the ball is the fun part of tennis. Mentally, I wanted my opponent to hit errors so I didn't have to hit it again. That's no way to play. Now I want the ball to come back.

Comments: What to say? There is probably no other racquet in the market that even comes anywhere near to this one in the way it performs. I have no complaints. I just hope Dunlop does not discontinue this one. If I have to pick one baseline and one net shot that are deadly with this that would be a back hand slice and a back hand volley. If you have executed them right with this stick chances are that are not coming back as a return.
From: PK, 9/11
NTRP Rating: 3.5

Comments: This is a racquet that I can trust. I can play my unconscious game and the ball goes in. I don't have to worry about the "trampoline" effect from too much power. Having said this, there are two areas where I can't do the shots I used to be able to do with my old Prince Titanium Response which had a more open string pattern- the slice serves I want and radical loopy topspin, especially topspin backhand lobs off the serve. Volleys are amazing. This is my first set of strings and my guess is that if I drop the tension from 60 to somewhere between 54 and 56 I will get more response from the stick - hopefully without loss of control. In summary - this is a pure all court player's racquet. If you read the Tennis Warehouse reviews it is possibly the racquet with the highest overall score of 84. The only complaint in the reviews is low power. While this may be an issue if you haven't played a lot of tennis, it is meaningless if you are a 5 plus player.

Comments: I am a 40 yr old all court player with solid groundstrokes. I still play 5.0 singles/doubles tourneys and play 2-3 times weekly. I can generate my own pace and favour control in a racket because of that. I have used the Head FP Prestige MP, MG MPP and the Wilson BLX 95 over the last three years and have been using the BLX 16 x 18 for the last year.
I read all the TW reviews and video review for the 4D 200 and thought would give it a go a couple of months back as specs lined up well. Well I am glad I did try it! After getting used to the tighter stringbed and the light weight compared to the BLX I think I have a racket which suits my game. I have strung it a little less in tension and put a little lead tape at about 10 and 2 and that compensates for a little less power. The control and feel of this racket is amazing and I am really enjoying playing with it. I have had some good singles results lately and my regular hitting buddies have commented on how solid I am hitting the ball with this stick. I guess that's the real test of a racket is the results. I have lost perhaps a little pop on serve but I am more than willing to sacrifice a few kmph for the control I get with this. It's very very solid at net and all around the court.
I would think the 4D200 is more suited to 4.5 + players and I don't think this stick would suit everyone, especially if you rely on heavy top or need a lighter stick to whip through and get pace. It doesn't have the power of say a Babolat PDR but the control and feel is far better, for me anyhow. If you can generate your own power, can wield a heavier stick, have solid strokes and like the control you get from a mid size "player" frames you definitely will want to give this a demo. I now have 2 of these sticks and even though I still have my BLX's, I am not tempted to go back as I am definitely playing better with this stick for now. It's just a really nice racket.
Best part...the price is a steal. I may have to get a couple more before they disappear from the market!

Comments: I demo'd about 15 player's rackets and narrowed it down to the Pure Storm LTD, Prestige Mid, and this racket. I tried this racket and I love it. I am an old school all-court player and in 30 years of playing tennis (on and off) have NEVER used a racket that felt better on volleys. Every volley feels like it hits the center of the sweet spot and I feel like I can put the ball a foot from the baseline at will. The other place this racket shines for me is the slice backhand - it's so wicked I may stop hitting topspin off of that side. All other strokes feel great. This racket feels like it has a little more heft but this just eliminates the need for me to add lead. Solid, stable, feel, control... what a great racket. More than enough spin but look at my string setup too.

Comments: Dunlop 4D 200 (18-20) - Great racquet. I am coming from a K Factor 6.1 95 (16x19) and I was not a fan of the BLX version. The Dunlop makes my K Factors seem like what they were - tired old racquets. The Dunlop has great stability, weight and balance. The string pattern removes some of the power but adds tons of control and feel. This racquet allows you to swing out. I believe I have lost some of the top and slice with this racquet - but I have gained in control and consistency. Serves are a bit slower - but again I'm hitting corners and improved my percentage. From the very first hit this racquet felt "right". I bought two initially with identical string jobs - Dunlop has done a great job with quality control, I can't tell the difference between the two when playing. Wilson on the other hand - my 4 K Factors all felt different on the court.
Demoed the Head Youtek Prestige MP: really liked it on groundstrokes and serve - lots of topspin available. Did not like the feel of the ball at the net and not as control oriented as the 4D 200.
Demoed the Babolat Pure Storm Limited: hated it - did not feel good anywhere on the court. Way too flexible and unstable. I probably could have grown to like it with time, but why bother with the options available.
Demoed the Dunlop 4D 200 Tour (16x19): Nice racquet, more power available than the 18-20 version and it's a bit heavier. I think with time I would have enjoyed this racquet. Lots of spin available but when compared to the 18X20 version I felt I needed to reign in my shots, location, swing speed. I did like it at the net - great weight, stable and touch.

I came back to this stick the Aerogel 300 4D 18x20 and was really impressed. The serve has some nice MPH and amazing control. My extreme western forehand has tons of spin, my double handed backhand has some nice depth and control, and the racquet is really stable when facing big shots. The sweetspot is amazing. I bought 3 of these sticks...stringed with pro hurricane 17 @58. If your technique is up to it, your game will go up, do not hesitate, try it!!

The frame has a totally different feel to it, and if I was forced to compare it to the AG200, I would say that it plays like a very stiff, head heavy Aerogel 200. Ask for RDC measurements when buying.

Plays more powerful, but with less spin/feel than the Aerogel 200. It's harder to wield but packs a punch if you can relax your swing. Coming from the Prestige line, it definitely plays differently since the flex throughout the frame is different.

This racquet is so good on the baseline that whenever I got into a point where I am at the baseline, I feel confident about winning that point. This racquet has the perfect amount of power. Do not judge this racquet off of the demo because they probably have bad strings in it. Though you still can get the feel of it.

Comments: Tested the Dunlop 4D 200, the 300 Tour, the Wilson Blade Tour and finally the Prince EXO3 Rebel 95. Before I played the Babolat Pure Drive Team (old model).In general I liked the 4 racquets, but my final choice was the Dunlop 4D 200. Why: 300 Tour: Too light, when hitting hard I felt the racquet having problems to hit through the bal without loss in control. Prince EXO3: got lots of power out of this racquet, but I don't like the Prince feeling so much. Sometimes the feeling of the ball disappears for a little time when touching the strings. But overall nice racquet. Wilson Blade: Perfect racquet, never made such a nice shots as that day, it feels like you can put the ball wherever you think of putting it. But, when having a bad day I don't think this racquet gives you much options to start defending behind the line. If you don't hit the ball this racquet is not working at all. Finally I choose the Dunlop 200 because it was all-round the best racquet. 2nd best feeling behind the Blade, enough power and weight to hit through the ball. But still the possibility to fall back on a defensive game. And finally it was the less expensive of all (probably because Dunlop has less marketing) After next season we'll see if the Dunlop was a good choice :-)

Comments: I really love this racquet, it's got great feel on all shots. There's incredible frame stability with this frame, it feels rock solid. I decided to go with 17 gauge gut to get a little extra pop but strung a couple pounds tighter. It has great spin as well, don't be scared of the tight string pattern. I could hit big flat bombs or put insane topspin on the ball to hook it cross court. Let me also comment on the paint job, the Blue, white and black is a phenomenal paint scheme, they also kept the classic Dunlop look by putting "dunlop" at the 3&9 o'clock positions of the frame. It all looks great. (as a matter of fact, all of the 4D players racquets have great paintjobs) The 4D 300 Tour was also a great frame, but I liked the increased weight with this racquet. Great choice for any player with any playing style. The serve/volley player will love the control, touch and feel. Baseliners will get great depth, spin and accuracy. There's also room to customize with lead, I tried adding extra lead but in the end I just took it off because the stock form is just so perfect, there's no sense messing with it.

Comments: To be honest, this Dunlop 4D200 racquet was disappointing to me (a 4.0 level player) because of the weight. It seems to lack control on slice backhand approach shots and volleys - they tended to fly on me. It is heavy in comparison to the Aerogel 200, so it is not really compatible with it if you like to pack 4 or 5 frames or use different string tensions. The weight difference between the two racquets is immediately apparent. I hope Dunlop improves this version with a slightly lighter swing weight to match the Aerogel 200 or decrease the overall strung weight to 11.5 or 11.75 ounces. Actually, the head size of 95 square inches is ok but could almost be increased to maybe a 97, as the sweetspot is pretty small, like a Head Prestige. The 18 X 20 pattern is great for control because I like a traditional player's racquet. Love the blue cosmetics, but the playability and lower power of this racquet, especially at net and on single handed backhand shots made me question why I spent the money.

I love the feathery touch up at net. String it up with a soft string. :-) I went with gut because it's the best.
From: Anon. 06/09

Comments: I think this racquet has a similar maneuverability to the K6.1 tour 90. I think it's because of the extended shaft of the racquet, it's like the [K]ompact center technology, which does improve handling and maneuverability like Wilson says. Even though it's just 7pts headlight, it feels like it's 12pts headlight, but that doesn't mean the head gets pushed around, there's perfect stability. I love hitting volleys with this stick, I can carve out very acute angles and hitting droppers is effortless. The dense string pattern is great for slice and flat serves (my specialties) so I can get to net quickly and finish off the point asap. I may add some lead at 3 and 9, where it says "DUNLOP" to get a little more "oomph" to serves, groundies and some added stability on mis-hit volleys. I highly recommend this racquet to anyone who likes a very solid feel and a dense string pattern.
From: Anon. 6/09

Comments: Awesome stick. Great feel off the stringbed, surprising stability, given the headlight balance and sub 12 oz weight. Strung at 60 lbs with gut, power is there, very great touch and feel. Not to mention, the cosmetic is outstanding! Very modern, but not too flashy. Dunlop did SUCH a better job with their 4D cosmetics, I hated the Aerogel's just because of their paint jobs, boring. I loved this racquet, it's a lot like the head prestige, but this is not as dampened/muted, I get a lot more feel. I also like the weight/balance, it feels good with my one-handed backhand.

Comments: After a couple days demoing this racquet this is what I found: Very solid, stable racquet. The whole stick feels as one. The swing weight sounded high on paper, but it swings much lighter. The power is there. I believe you could get a perfect, crisp feel with this racquet combined with a good multifilament. I'm an extreme topspin player (currently using Nadal's racquet) and will say it does mute my topspin and it is somewhat challenging to generate the spin, but what I have found is I now have flatter, deeper shots. After demoing for only a couple days I found the serve to be ok for now. Flat serves are good as are slice serves, but I'm having trouble getting that 2nd serve topspin/kick serve. Slices are good as well as feel and drop shots. Overall, I have enjoyed this stick so far and will demo it again along with the Prince EXO3 Rebel 95 before buying anything.

Comments: What a great stick! Just a little background on my playing level: I played in college and I am a 5/5.5 doubles specialist. I hit a very big ball and place a premium on control and my volleys; the 200 4d excels in both these categories. I have hit with both the 200 4D and the 300 Tour and they are both great sticks. You can get away with a few flaws in your game with the 300 tour because it is a little lighter and has a slightly larger head which makes it a little more forgiving but you better be on your game if you intend to use the 200 4d. I currently use the AG 200 and there is definitely a difference between the 4D and the old AG's. It seems to be from a different mold than the AG 200; though I could be wrong about that. The AG 200 and 200 4D just feel different in the hand. As far as the string goes it had M-Fil Tour in it which I don't think is that bad of a string; I am not sure why people bash it so much. I think it plays rather well in Dunlop frames. Chris from TW in one of his posts hit the nail on the head when he said the racket feels like one piece from handle to tip; I could not agree more. This is very evident in the volleys and half volleys. You can feel the racket moving as a solid piece and how stable it is and how much feel you can get from the racket. I think the racket is more than heavy enough. I find it interesting that there are 3.5 players adding lead tape to a racket that is already plenty heavy; I think sometimes people just add lead tape because they think it will help their game because the good players are doing it. You need to be a big time player at least a 4.5 with some serious strokes to wield this stick.

Comments: This has to be the best 200-series racquet Dunlop has ever put out. This is the first one I actually like stock (no added weight or leather). The demo strings were cheap but did not detract from the quality of this frame. At first I was torn between this one, the 16x19 4D 300 and the 4D 300 Tour, but I need lead for the former two. The 200 only needs good string and the right guy wielding it. Nice job Dunlop!

Comments: The high swingweight made it rather unwieldy for me. I lost some pop on the serve as well. For those seeking a flexible control stick, with a dense string pattern, low swingweight and a great buttery feel, I highly recommend the Babolat Pure Storm Ltd.

Comments: Demo-- Sweet and stable. I like this a lot more than the Prince Rebel 95. It is a bit hefty but it seems evenly balanced and in stock form it can withstand bit shots. I wouldn't need to add lead. Just make sure you are find with the weight before buying it. Falls just short of being a heavy racquet but a featherweight it isn't. Also, I hit some fairly good topspin shots even with the 18/20 pattern. I hit some great shots on the run too that I usually have problems with. I thought the grip was going to be a little short for my two handed backhand but it is fine. Yeah, it is debatable whether or not it is an improvement over the AG200 but I can say that Dunlop has a winner with both versions.

Comments: Great update of the 200 line, there's more of a crispness and slices are more improved. Definitely going to sell my old AG200's and get another one. Also feels more solid on volleys and serves are even better with this racquet, definitely give this racquet a try.

Comments: I had really high hopes for this racket, as I was a huge fan of the AG 200. I notice that they changed the balance and the swing weight went up, but didn't expect how much of a change it was. I thought that Dunlop made a great racket that fit in the zone of being heavy enough to handle big hitters, but light enough to be maneuverable. So I thought how could they make it worst, but what a let down. I've played with the k factor 90 and Yonex RDS 002 tour and both of those rackets were way easier to swing. I have a big forehand and with this I can't use it anymore, I can only take slow long swings at the ball just to get some weight on it so that it would be a little difficult to hit back, but I can't swing away as I do with my AG 200. I admit it does have a crisper feel but that alone is not worth it for me to make the switch. I notice that James Blake is still playing with the AG 200 instead of the new 300 and 200, as many of the Dunlop players already sporting the new 4d line. I'm going to try it out for a while longer and see if my mind changes or I start working out enough to swing it.

Comments: If you ever wanted to have a blue Prestige Mid without the square head grip shape, this is it. The tight string pattern, the immense plow-through, the solid-yet-flexy feel at the throat, it all just echoes the FXP Prestige Mid. The only differences I can find between this and the FXP Prestige Mid during play is the slightly lower static weight but the greater swingweight. Because of all this, if your game relies on topspin don't bother trying it. You'd be better off with the 300 4D. This racket is for flat-hitters only. But if you've been looking for a replacement for your Prestige and don't want the muted feel of the Microgel Prestige, this is the racket you've been waiting for. And all of you with Eastern Grips, that hit flat, that have one-handed backhands and have the technique and power, this racket is an absolute must-try.

Comments: Very nice. I'm an AG200 guy, and this one fits right in. Not much change in feel, actually. It swings the same, and looks cool. The main difference for me was the strings, I think. I normally play 17g poly, and it's strung with Mfil Tour 16. Tension is a little different, too, but it still felt like the great stick that the 200 is supposed to be. Not sure if it's enough difference to replace my 4 AG200's, but we'll see.
