Who knows Dunlop biomimentic 400 tour?

I am interested in Dunlop biomimentic 400 tour. But I am wondering how it performs well, especially power. I used Head Youtek Prestige MP, and now Wilson Prostaff six one 95 (white one, this one is so low power, so that I add leads and leather grip, final weight is similar to the prestige).

If you used the 400 Tour, could you compare with Prestige or Prostaff? Particularly, compare feel and power. I am aging, now i need more powerful racket with great feel.

Any comments, appreciated!

* if you use Dunlop 500 tour, let me know how it works too. thanks.

It has power if you have the long, powerful swing. It is flexible and heavy, so it will really deliver a heavy ball if you can swing it. It is not powerful like many people think of a powerful racquet - something stiff and easy to get cheap power from not much swing.

I"ve only hit with it a handful of times, but usually for only 10 groundies each time, as I borrow it to try, comparing to my Dunlop 200's, 300's, and 500's.
Seems sluggish to me, and a little on the stiff side ( I like my 4D300's the best).
My 500's hit harder, and weighted up to 320 SW, hit much harder.
400T feels a lot like Bio300T to me, which I have one of. The handle weight doesn't help me, while the SW seems very light (easy to swing).
But easy to swing thru light SW seems only good against weaker hitting opponent's.
Really nice color and finish.

Do a search in this forum as there has been lots of feedback. In short it needs lead tape at 12 as the top of the hoop with that low sw is dead. Once added, power level is far above the Prestige and PS 95 at the APD level. Feel is quite stiff compared to those and again in line with an APD, just slightly less stiff .

Bio 400T have much more power than prestige and bigger sweetspot, so it is less demanding, but as stated above you need add some lead to upper hoop to stabilise it. It is actually good all around racquet.
Bio 500T have even a bit more power than 400T, slightly smaller sweetspot, different balance - tip heavy racquet (you can feel mass at 12), yet very manuverable. Solid and stable despite its low SW (313).
