Yonex Eclipsion 5 is the standard for me personally in terms of the best combination of speed, comfort, and stability at the moment. If you take stock of what Foot Doctor Zach says, I think he would put the Diadora Torneo 3 and B.Icon 3s and Lacoste AG-LT Ultra on that elite level too. I think the Gel Res 10 (Asics dropped the ball totally on this update), new Mizuno WET 2 (they messed up a great shoe in the original by removing the double ankle collar), Nike Vapor 12, Yonex Ad Accel, K-Swiss Pinnacle, and Adidas Cybersonic 2s are all on the next level down.
