Dunlop Biomimetic 200 Tour Racquet Customer feedback
Comments: This is an amazing racquet. It had tons of pop and plow through on offensive shots. I am twelve years old and just switched to this frame and has promoted my power and precision. It has excellent placement. The best shot is the slice. It plows right through and cuts the ball like a knife. It feels like an extension of my arm and highly recommend it to
stronger players.
Comments: A nice frame, but it's not as maneuverable as the 4d, despite the lower swing weight. You can feel the
extra .2 oz. of static weight with the BIO, and not in a good way. Noticeably stiffer than the 4d 200 tour - and there's no need for
it. The 4D hits a big ball, it's plenty powerful enough, and there is definitely more feel. Prior to demo, I was prepared to make the
switch, but it's not warranted (despite knowing my usual string setup would improve the experience). The Bio still hits with a lot of
spin and can take anything up at net. On serve, it's more difficult to whip around, but I was able to bring some pretty big heat. It is
odd what they did to the tour. It didn't need the extra weight or stiffness. Switching back to the 4D instantly brought different
results in my practice matches. I hope the next iteration brings the 200 Tour back to where it needs to be.
Comments: Really an awesome frame. So much control and power from this stick. My current stick is a 4D 300
leaded up to 343 grams strung, and a 340 swing weight, so switching over wasn't a huge deal. I will say though that the extra
weight hurt me a little on serve and I would get jammed by a hard hit shot. Up at net this is a beast. I'm not the best at volleys, but
with this stick I was hitting angles and droppers like I never have before. It is also a very comfortable stick with very good
dampening, didn't need a dampener. I think a lot of 3.5-4.0 players would be better off using a heavier stick, and this is a good
place to start.
Comments: The 200 Tour is a beast! It's really fun to play with and has
awesome cosmetics to go with it. Also, it's my first professional
racquet that i didn't find in a sports store. I actually got it at a
tennis shop. The weight of the racquet is well suited to my arm and
the swing weight is great. The grip is very tacky like Dunlop said it
would be. The racquet gives me a lot of control because almost all of
the balls I hit stayed in the court and the ones that didn't were
probably due to me. It has a smooth swing because of the heavy weight
and allows me to hit a ball (even off-center ones) easily. The spin
and power of the frame combined with my own power meant that I could
hit hard and the ball would still stay in the court (I prefer
baseline). The serve also feels very solid. I don't recommend this
racquet for players who have short swings or don't have the strength
to wield the 12.5 ounce weight (combined with head heavy balance).
Overall I think Dunlop did a phenomenal job with this racquet and I
hope they keep this up.
Comments: This is my first "real" racket to say, and I absolutely love it. I demoed this racket, the volkl power
bridge, pure storm tour, and a k95. I really enjoyed both the volkl and the bio but I ended up picking up the bio for the comfort
and overall plow I got with this racket. I
bought this with luxion big bangers, but I was too n00bish and got asked for 58lbs, the results being too much power and not
enough control. But even then I enjoyed every min playing with this racket for its plow, control, and spin. However, I don't
recommend this racket for the "weak". I had to essentially power up even more to get on par with this racket, since it is so heavy,
and it is so demanding. But it is very worth it in the end
Comments: This was my first year searching for a racquet beyond the pre-stringed cheap ones in the local sports
store. After trying a couple lighter frames that I thought more suited to my 3.5 rating based on the racquet guides, I discovered I
liked them better with extra lead tape to make them heavier. Being a Dunlop person, I decided to bite the bullet and go for the
weightiest frame they have to see how this "player's" racquet would feel. And I have to say, it's great. I love the feel I get, open
string pattern is what I like, hitting topspin and slice one handed backhand couldn't be better, get a solid feel at the net volleying,
and a satisfying pop on serves (this is with black widow poly strings). I have weighted my 500 and 300 Tour to similar specs as the
200 Tour, but the 200 Tour works great out of the box with no modifications. Don't be afraid to try it, even if you don't have the
4.5+ recommended rating, if your groundstroke form is sound, then a "player's" racquet may be just the ticket.
Comments: This racquet is by far one of the best racquets on today's market. I never played so well before. It excels
strongly in everything. It looks cool too. The only con is the Gecko grip; I prefer leather.
Comments: I am a long term Head racquet user. I have happily used a Head Youtek Radical Pro for the past 1.5
years and before that a MicroGEL Radical Pro. Not sure why I wanted a change. I felt a bit stale with my game. After a lot of
shopping and advice, I went with a Dunlop Biomimetic 200 Tour. I have played it for the last two days, first day singles, second
day doubles. For the first time in a long time I am hitting out and the ball is staying in. The 200 had a bit more power than the
Radical Pro but also a bit more spin. The ground strokes are similar. Where the 200 Tour shines is serve, return and net. The
people I played with could not believe the difference. I am now a believer.
Comments: One of the best racquets I've ever tried and I've pretty much tried them all. The precision and power
from this racquet is amazing. All my baseline shots have great depth to them with none of my shots feeling like they're getting
away from me. I am finding myself to have extremely steady strokes now since I'm not trying to overhit or pulling back on the
power. I've had my friends try it out and they all love it. I have two and I'm thinking about getting more since I plan to play with
these racquets for a long time.
Comments: I think I found found my true love. This racquet is so fun to use because
there is nothing I hate about it. I love every single shot in the game with this stick in my hands. I disliked the serve with the 4D
version before, but with Biomimetic technology, the serve is probably my favorite now. I will be switching from 4D version.
Comments: I've been a Wilson guy ever since I started playing tennis 6 years ago but
decided it was time to try something else. Before this racquet I've been using the 6.1 tours from Wilson and loved them but the
head size has always been an issue. So i looked for a racquet with similar specs of the Wilson BLX 6.1 tour and this was the
closest with a bigger head size. The feel of the this racquet was surprisingly good. Groundstrokes felt solid even on off centered
shots. On serves I found I could generate a lot more spin with this racquet than my previous racquet. This racquet has a lot of
control with the ability to generate power. I thought I would never go away from Wilson but when I tried this racquet it won me
over. Im glad I tried something new.
