Babolat Propulse Fury/Rage Question

[fl4tsc]

Hey can any of y'all comment on the differences between the Babolat Propulse Fury and Rage? They appear nearly identical to me except for the tacked on heal strap for the rage. It appears the Rage weighs less which seems odd given the extra stability features.

Also, is the black and red color combo for the Fury coming to the US, or is it Euro only?

Hi @fl4tsc

My guess would be that because the rage is a bootie construction, it uses less materials in the upper, whereas the fury is not.

The black and red color should be up on the website soon.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info, I hand't realized the Rage had the bootie construction.

Any advice for sizing? I wear a 12 in vapors and barricades, 12.5 in ubersonic 3s, and cage 3s.

@fl4tsc,

You are asking about sizing for the Rage right? As long as you don't have wide feet, I would go with the 12s. It looks like there's a fair amount of mesh on the upper, which will stretch out even if the shoe is initially snug.

Let me know if that answers your questions or not!

Actually more curious about the Fury (don't think I can pull off the current Rage colorway) I've seen where some people have recommended a half size up on the Fury but not always.

I have pretty normal width feet, my concerns are usually toe-jamming or a seam rubbing the outside edge behind my pinky toe.

The forefoot is pretty narrow on the Furys... I would probably go up to the 12.5s and then either cinch them down tight or wear two pairs of socks if the fit is too spacious.
