How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the CX 200 18x20 BK is built around control and stability. Its power is the softest spot, so weigh that against what you prioritise. It asks for a confident, full swing and rewards players who generate their own racket-head speed. Arm comfort is middle-of-the-road: fine for most players, worth softer strings if you are sensitive.

String and tension recommender

Setup
Multifilament/poly hybrid
Tension
48-54 lbs / 22-24.5 kg
A slightly firmer setup can sharpen directional control. Do not chase control with high tension if comfort drops. Premium hybrid or gut.
