Dunlop CX 200 Tour -- 2019 vs 2021?

Haven't really seen much in the way of comparisons between the new CX 200 Tour 16x19 and the original. Does anyone here have enough experience with both to offer some insight?

I’ve played with the previous 2019 and present CX 200 line up - Tour, “standard” and LS. I really couldn’t honestly say that the Flexbooster tech made any noticeable difference. If anything, I felt that the current line is a tad firmer than the 2019 line.

The CX 200 Tour 16x19 is an excellent racquet. Plush feel in the sweet zone (with nicely tuned acoustics - thanks, BASF), good precision and a controlled launch angle which will suit a high level intermediate to advanced player. Needs a fair bit of lead to the hoop if you like your swingweight in the 325+ range. My only criticism of it is the slightly thin, hollow feel outside the sweet zone. This seems a common trait across the entire CX 200 range, and interestingly, is also present in my Dunlop squash racquets.

I wouldn’t pay the extra for the 2021 racquet, especially when the 2019 version is so similar and is currently being sold at a nicely discounted price in the UK.
