Editorial verdict
Is it worth demoing?
Best for
Try the CX 400 if you want to compare placement on full swings and can handle its 285 g nominal frame weight throughout a full session.
Think twice if
At 285 g, check stability against pace as well as quick preparation; a lower static weight does not prove a lower swingweight.

Strings and ownership

Check bumper, hoop, throat, grommets and grip. Structural doubt overrides a cosmetic grade. Include replacement parts and a restring in the total.
