Review-- Diadora Speedzone 2

[Cavaleer]

Pros: Lightweight, great traction, solid durability, good looks.

Cons: Too light which led to too little lateral stability; cushion was mediocre at best. I felt like they couldn't react and stabilize my foot on quick lateral movements. I played with them briefly in the factory cushion/insole for 30 minutes on hard courts and my feet hurt the next day. I put in a replacement insole and they were fine.


Overall: Good shoes for lighter-weight players. I'm 6' 205 and these just aren't heavy or stable enough to handle my musculature.

I have a pair of Babalots incoming which are much more solidly built.

yea, I have pretty much the same oppinion about them.

I only use them indoors (carpet&hard courts) where I enjoy their lightness which allows me to move very quick all around the court.
On Clay I use the babolats, because on slippery surfaces the speedzones don´t stabilize my ankle well enough.
