Verdict
The current Barricade stability shoe—lighter and quicker than the 13, still built to plant and recover, with real Lightstrike Pro push-off and a claw chassis that still owns the lateral lane.
The blue racket that still makes pace feel free—softer than older Pure Drives, still firm, still the club default when you want the ball to go.
The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.
