Dunlop Aerogel 2Hundred 27

[almerickso]

I was going around the tennis shops in Manila, Philippines and I came across this racquet, Dunlop Aerogel 2Hundred 27.

I think its supposed to be a junior racquet but its quite weird that its regular length and they even come in adult grip sizes. The strung weight is the same as the aerogel 300 (about 305 grams) and the string pattern is the same. The paintjob looks exactly like the aerogel 200 but the aerogel parts (the light blue patches) are just blue paint and not like the translucent thingy on the aerogel 200. oh yeah and its also 98 sq inch... looks a lot like the aerogel 300

what's more interesting is that it cost only like $40!

i'm pretty sure its just a standard graphite molded racquet but anybody has any idea on what this racquet is exactly and how it feels/plays? for that price, its pretty darn tempting to get one and try... but yeah... students dont have much $$ to go around... hehe

I should think it's an advanced junior / learners' racket, if you know what I mean.

There's no way the REAL AG200 weights that low.

maybe it's a asian version or something......or it's a fake...but you should try it.............

i did a search and i found some uk sites listing it as a junior racquet as i thought...

but its pretty "heavy" for a junior racq considering its the weight of the aerogel 300 and standard length...

wondering if anybody has had experience with it

I think you are talking about the Dunlop Aerogel 200 Plus which we have available in uk.

The head is 100, the beam are over 21mm and weighs around 305 gr.

nope its not the plus version.

i think its really a junior version.

anybody has experience hitting with it? is it any good a racquet or its just some **** frame that's not even worth hitting?
