Asics Gel Resolution X (10)

I’ve buy RX because I was looking for a more massive shoes of the one I was using in lasts year.
After one mount I don’t know why so many people dislike this model.
Ok,they are heavy but are Supersuper stable,and for those that played at good level is the most important thing.
Cushioning is very good (Not like my old Raptor) but is good.
The only thing that you have to accept is that the first 2/3 hours they are rigid.
After that became a glove.
I’m super Happy!
 
How is the comfort level of these shoes ?
True to size as well?
I enjoy the CT rallies. Weight of the shoe for me isn’t a problem. Comfort and stability for me = performance.
The lacoste ultra 23’s I’ve liked but wish I could go up half a size (I’m a 13).

Comfort is a bit odd used them for a day and they destroid my pinky toe compared to the GelRes9 9.5 or the AG-LT23 10.5.
To be clear I found the recommendations about sizing (Going half size smaller) to hinder my experience with the shoe, I think using your regular size could be better since the stability is good, is soft underfoot but the overall slim toebox (Have narrow foot) make me sell the shoes after a day of walking, to "break them in", and two hours of play.
Will definitely try my regular size in a nice colorway since the midsole is really comfy and stable but still not close to the AG-LT23 in second place only topped by Gel Res 9

Comfort is pretty ok, foam is soft but the fit is awful. The toebox has a triangle shape where it’s wide but narrows at the toe. It also fits quite long, I can wear a 9.5-10.5 in the gel res 9 and can’t wear anything bigger than 9.5. The upper also has a lot of dead space around the foot and I have to wear 2 socks minimum or sock + thorlos to fill it out.
 
Ordered a pair in 9.5 Wide which is correct for me. Shoe fit fine as expected. First use on the court my left toenail was ripped up/off. Didn't realize until I was in the locker room. These aren't going to work for me. Felt like the lacing had me in place correctly. Maybe not. Omitting pics for your benefit.

Thanks brother.
 
So they have finally released wide versions in the uk of the X but given how unpopular it is it probably wont sell and sods law when the 11's come out asics will see the low sales as low demand and prob wont release the 11's in wide.. fml
 
Anyone knows if the OC version can be bought in UK/Europe? I have only seen it on US website. Most of the clubs we play against seem to have astroturf courts so the OC would probably be the best option?

Anyone played on clay with the OC version?

I'll be trying it out when I pick mine up next week. Looking at it, it seems to be designed for syn/real grass, but grass court shoes are banned by most grass court clubs. I play 3 grass court tournies a year so hopefully those aren't banned by the clubs holding the ITF tourney. They were skeptical of the Yonex outsole, last year, but begrudgingly let me play. Under $70 for a 2E(Wide) in Japan with tax back, well worth the experiment should they ban the Yonex this year.
 
Was at the Cleveland challenger today and was pretty shocked to see roughly half the players today rocking the Gel Res Xs. I would imagine most of them do not have a shoe deal so they are buying these out of choice. As much as the general public seems to dislike them, it appears they have been truly designed for and HOLD UP to the extreme wear and tear pros put them through.

Maybe since they are so bad ASICS is giving them away :)!

makes sense - they are durable and play well
 
Looking at the design of the shoe, with the high medial side ankle collar, protected laces and medial drag protection, this shoe is built like as a maximalist durable shoe. This is especially if you can get the Asics player discount. Unfortunately for me, it's not the good fit for my feet. It's playable, but I get too much heel movement on one side.
The OC outsole is better on clay and syn grass than hardcourt, but nothing like the Yonex or herringbone outsoles.

Are you saying that he herringbone in Yonex is better than the one in GR 9 or X?
I think the opposite (about 9, b/c 10 us waiting for me in US for the buffon president to go away alongside his tarrifs) and I laugh at my younger, slimmer, shorter coach in Yonexes on clay! :)

For better lockdown of less voluminous feet. I used the 2nd one over my metatarsals.

No. I'm talking about the OC on syn grass, which is really excellent with the nubs, vs hardcourt outsoles. On clay, the OC is better too, but not as good as the Yonex and traditional herringbone. The Yonex GC outsole sheds clay better, which is great for longer points. It also is marginally better on pivot directional changes. For me, I prefer the Yonex outsole the most on clay, just not the Eclipsion 5 which has too much pronation once wear sets in.
 
Can never understand the hate for this shoe - I don’t think the players would be using it if they felt similar to lots of the rec-reviewers on here

I really tried to like them but the fit is really a thing, bought size 9 according to the recommendations here and the heel felt good but my pinky were demolished after 2 hours on clay.
The cushioning is really good and performance wise is good so I bought another in my regular Resolution size, the heel slippage on my left foot feel like a can lose my shoe in one rush to the net and since you really need to lock in the shoes the medial part of my foot felt the stress after one hour, not to mention the considerable rubbing on the side of my toes, is not so apparent when playing but in the break in period was a pain in the a.
Is a good offering... maybe, but the 9 were in another level of responsiveness and comfort.
This was my experience with Gel Res X in clay outsole and played yesterday on hard with a lower score from my and my friend who gave the 9 gel res x

I think hate is the wrong word for something as individual as fit. Sure there are negative reviews, but that's because there are many foot types, and no shoe has universal fit. And while some people love to wax poetic about their perfect shoe, more people like to complain about a shoe destroying their feet somehow.
 
Hi everyone,

I’m currently using the Asics Resolution 9 in US size 9.5. Based on several reviews and user feedback, the Resolution X is said to run slightly larger and to have a higher listed weight at the same size. Because of this, many people recommend going half a size down compared to the Resolution 9.

My question specifically concerns the actual weight impact of doing so. At an identical size, the Resolution X is reported to be heavier than the Resolution 9. However, if sizing down by half a size (US 9 instead of 9.5), the mass difference between the two models should theoretically decrease.

In practical terms:
Resolution 9 in US 9.5 vs Resolution X in US 9 — what would the real weight difference be in that scenario?

Does anyone have the exact or approximate weight of the Resolution X in US size 9?

Thanks in advance for your help

Greetings from France :)

In deeply suggest you at least try them on before going half size smaller. In my case the length is similar but the toes suffer due to the X still be slimmer at the toes and the upper is significantly stiffer than the old 9.
In terms of weight, they are heavier than the 9 for sure, but the difference between 9 and 9.5 In the X are not noticeable but more heel slippage on the bigger size with better (Not good) fit around the toes
 
It is more voluminous and a bit wider but not SHORTER. So depends on your foot type and toe splay. I actually went up ½ size because of the shape of the last.

Hey everyone, how's it going?

I noticed that Asics made two perfect colorways to match two Head racquets:

The Gel Resolution X Black/Aurora Green matches perfectly with the Head Boom.

The Gel Resolution X Night Energy matches perfectly with the Head Gravity.

Which one matches the Head Speed?

I have the Head Speed MP 2026 and the Head Speed MP 2024.

Which of the Asics Gel Resolution X colorways that have already been released matches the Head Speed?
 
Interesting how this shoe gets tons of hate, yet Asics just continue to pump out new colours and treads.

Testing shows it's one of the most cushioned shoes out there, especially in the forefoot. I imagine that is why a good number higher level (i.e. non-rec) players and coaches use them, since they are on their feet a lot.

What I don't get from Asics. Is why do they have so many white colour ways for clay shoes. They will be filthy within 40 mins.

I like the look of the OC sole for clay, similar to Yonex. The Padel colour also looks good. Anyone know the difference in the padel shoes? It's more of a forwards/backwards game rather than side to side.

They aren’t going to quit making them because 25 people on a forum prefer the old one lol
 
I gave in and bought some of these to give them a chance.

Terrible heel slippage just wearing them around the house, even tied tightly.

Absolutely no attention to the shape of the foot at the heel, just goes straight up with no curve. As if heel fit is of no importance to a player or something.

These are going back tomorrow. What were you thinking Asics? Ruining the best shoe in tennis (GR9) for this garbage.

I don't understand why you need to suffer yourself again

Thread 'Asics Gel Resolution X....a total failure?'

Long time Asics GR fan here and haven't gotten the X yet (still have a supply of 9's) but the reviews are really bad.

Currently 65 reviews up on TW and it's getting 2.7/5 stars with lots of 1 and 2 stars. People saying they have ruined the GR line.

Are these as bad as the reviews? I was thinking of getting some (once they come out with some better colorways) but maybe not at this point.

Wondering what some of you think that have worn them.

I thought I would try them out for myself as I loved the GR9s. Unfortunately they are as bad as the reviews say. I really wanted to like them.
