Same honestly.
Yeah debating if I should get clay court shoes only but I don play on it much
wouldn't it make more sense to get something with a firmer midsole since the surface is already softer? Can't really appreciate the fresh foam unless the surface is hard.
Did you find the uppers opened up more after a break-in period? They're just a taaaad tight for my liking. I hear the foam takes a break-in period to get soft. Footbed seems rock hard out of the box. But I'm committed to my sale pair... no turning back now.
Yes. And I also noticed the right foot was not laced properly. Relaxed it and it is amazing
Idk I’m not as analytical to gear to be honest. Comfort and maneuverability
I slipped using non-clay specific shoes, didn't go down but slightly tweaked my back. I now run one pair of hard court shoes (I play much less on hard surfaces) and keep two pair of clay specific shoes for summer use. If you go down or hurt something trying not to go down, the $125 more or less for clay specific shoes with good tractionis well worth it. Just saying.
...AAAAAAND I'm done. Selling these. The collar really digs into my ankle bone. The cushioning is good enough, the tongue is super plush. Lacing system has just the right amount of friction to keep laces in place. The knit upper gives enough but has plenty of support. The outsole is quite sticky, it was a little hard to slide to a stop.
This broke in for me. Took a bit on the right shoe for some reason over the left.
I feel like my ankle will break before the collar breaks in. I've had the 996 v3 that exhibited the same ankle-biting issue of the collar. I don't want to go through the pain.
I hear you.
I am curious about the new Speed FF3. I surprisingly liked the Speed FF2 - thought the cushioning was fantastic for its lightweight, speed orientated classification.
I’m struggling to find a one stop tennis brand. Lacoste clothing is decent quality (medvedev stuff is ugly). Might have to try ASICS shoes or The Mizuno ones which gets good reviews.
With TW you dont need to have a "one stop" brand. Get your favorite stuff or the best stuff from each brand!
Raptor Hyperpulse are nice. I was waiting for the CT Rally to come to the UK but settled on the Raptors and don't regret it.
A couple of my Lotto outfits.
I also like K Swiss but Lotto is my go to brand.
Just ordered these. Should be here on Tuesday.
I applied for a sponsorship but never heard back from them.
I guess you have to be good at tennis to get the sponsorship.

Little more resolution
Ahhh. Yeah NB was slow to get clothes out this past year as well. Shoes were no problem but their clothes distribution was spotty
My big issue is they make a squeaking sound. Ok on the tennis court but I can’t wear them inside my house or in while shopping.
Maybe it’s just in the same color as the grey which is better than when it stands out. I find the shoes a bit too long, and not as comfortable as the previous iteration.
