This is just like the ugly Juice racquet painted on a Dunlop.

How do you compare looks of a racquet to women? That's a serious reach.

Wouldn't you think that if the BioMX200g is being sold at the TW tent at IW, release of the frame to the general public has to be imminent?

AO, you've just become my favorite poster on these boards.

I'm glad to hear that. It might help balance out the few that don't care for me too much.

Question is now, how does it play?

I want it! Right now!!!!

Meh. It just looks like the old AG100 4D, with green bits instead of brown. The white paint on the inner upper hoop is an unecessary disruption to what little cosmetic symmetry exists on the racket. The chevrons above the handle are the only throwback to the original 200G.

i agree that besides the chevrons, that is really the only thing retro.

other than that, i don't think it is particularly a nice looking racquet.

regardless - i will still give it a demo based on the specs.

i do like how it has mcenroe's autograph on it though.

I'm not in total disagreement, but I'm not so much into the aesthetics of a racquet. I do think the regular Bio. 300 trumps this one in the "looks" dept., but what has me excited, as a former Dunlop 300 die-hard is the potential of +1oz. 300G, Mfil, Bio. 300. I hope it plays like a weighted Bio. 300.

Nothing that a little touch up paint couldn't cover. I was/am more of a Lendl fan

Think about it though; besides the chevrons, what was distinctive about the Max 200g? It was a black racquet with green stripes, like the POG. IMO, all the new model needed for retro flavor was the chevrons...

Mike, it's beautiful and I would have one in a second. I go a bit mad trying to play with different racquets on a day to day basis and I have a deal with Yonex at the moment. (V-Core 95Ds, love them!)

I am still tempted to get one and just put it away, beautiful frame!

Agreed. My dislike for it is mainly based on my longstanding dislike of loud PJs that use too many elements to break up the smooth monotony of the frame. What's so bad about an all-black, blue or red frame? I really liked the old Revelation 200G 95 "Checkerboard motif" frame from years ago - that one used the original 200G's heritage green colour really nicely, teamed with flashes of gold.

tom4ny · 03-14-2012, 02:32 AM

i like most of the biomimetic frame's paint jobs and i also think that dunlop did a great job marrying the new paint job with the old max.

it also makes sense to me that it will be lower powered than the 300 series but heavier. they are leveraging the passion for the old max and mcenroe's name's for marketing a new frame and the 200 series no doubt but also, the bio 200 frames are lower powered than the 300. that is why i will likely stick with my chrome and red which looks outstanding, but more so i like the power level and control i get with the bio 300t.

Ahh, yes - the Revelation 200g. That might have been the best 200 PJ ever. I do love this new Biomimetic scheme, but some sort of checkerboard element would have been appropriate for a Mac frame as well.

I think you touch on several good points. It probably will be slightly lower-powered than the regular 300, but the extra weight is the attraction, and it may translate into more pop than we think. Also, some would call the 200's a little anemic, but this new "Max200" will definitely offer a little more juice than your typical 200, I would think, considering the open string pattern, extra beam width, and HM, Mfil, Bio. mold. All of these factors do beg the question: Is it a 200 or 300? I still say it's a great option in the 300 line, which seems to drive Dunlop sales.

TW Customer Support is telling me mid-April it will be on the website for purchase.
