String & Racket Finder
DUNLOP CX tennis rackets compared
The control line. Sonic Core with Infinergy — BASF's expanded-TPU beads set into the hoop corners — is a real material with a real, small damping effect (the “37% better dampening” figure is the marketing dose), plus FlexBooster at 2 and 10 o'clock and PowerGrid StringTech. Underneath: a classic box-beam control mold.

Swipe the table sideways for the remaining columns.
Axes, in order: Control (flat) · Precision · Spin · Power · Feel / comfort · Stability · Maneuverability · Serve · Smash & overhead · Slice / touch · Return / blocking. Difficulty is how demanding the frame is to use well, not how good it is.

If you want a shortlist matched to how you actually play, and a string bed matched to the frame, the finder does that in a few taps.
