Verdict
ASICS’ current lightweight speed shoe—sub-12 oz, outstanding Precision-Sole traction, enough Speedtruss stability to trust a hard cut, with the durability and plush-cushion tradeoffs you’d expect when you refuse to wear a tank.
A fast midplus that helps rec players take the ball early without feeling like they borrowed a tour stick.
New Balance's cushion-first stability shoe. The Fresh Foam X ride is among the plushest in tennis, it comes in D and 2E widths, and TW backs the outsole for six months. You pay for that in weight (about 15.8 oz), sticky traction until it breaks in, and mixed customer reports on how long the outsole lasts.
