The M-FiL 300 is interesting, 16x19, 98si, and 61 flex rating, but it seems a little light (10.9 oz strung). How is the stability? Maybe adding a little weight in the handle or under the grip would be an option for a little more heft and a little more head-light balance.

I'm a big fan of the 200 series, but the swingweight on this new one looks very disappointing. One of the features that I have enjoyed on the 200g's is that they are player's sticks that you can really get around easily. They could have added a little weight without bumping the swingweight up 30 units from the previous model, IMO.

Looks like M-Fil = "land-fill"...

why not something in between!!!

The new 200G looks & specs. is great !

M-Fil = Monfils?

I think the racquet industry is targeting women players this year. I would be embarass to use these racquet on the court and so are the new wilsons. They're look kinda "soft" if you know what I mean.

Chris,
FYI, the TW description page for the M-Fil 300 mentions that this frame is endorsed by James Blake. However, I think he's been actually using the M-Fil 200 (or paintjob thereof). He was using the blue colored frame in his first round match today at the AO. Here's a pic from last week's Hopman Cup in which he is clearly using a blue frame (M-Fil 200) and not a red frame (M-Fil 300): http://cache.gettyimages.com/comp/5...A95B58FB16D35A46CC62BA56A38945707025BBC43816F

I agree, these racquets look terrible imho. They would have been more or less okay if the bumper guard had a normal black (or maybe even white) colour, but yellow...

the new wilson surge is kinda light....

It appears that Dunlop tried to makeup for what is lacking on the 300g with the M-Fil 300. I like the increase in the swingweight but would of like a tad bit more overall weight.

Looks like the 500 will be the replacement for the 300g OS ? Another terrible paintjob.

The colors of these racquets don't bother me as much as the specs. The 300 could be a decent stick since the swingweight looks higher than the 300g, but I much prefer the 95 head and 18x20 string pattern of the 200.

One thing I've found about TW's photos though - the colors always look brighter in the picture than what they really are. The 200 probably looks OK if you swap out the candy-striped grip; oh, and I'll bet the black bumper and grommets from the HM200g would fit this racquet...
