Best Overall

Summary

Ideal for:

Solution Speed FF 3 is the lightest and most agile model from Asics, fitting for the fast player.

The Solution Speed FF 3 shoes are built with lightweight and flexible materials, so they can offer the player the best mobility compared to other Asics models.

The materials used in the shoe are of medium quality. As a result, the shoes wear out faster compared to Asics’ Court FF 3 Novak and Gel-Resolution models, for example, which use higher-quality materials.

Compared to other Asics models, the Solution Speed offers the best speed, lightness, and agility. When I played with these shoes, movement, and reaction felt easy and precise. Despite being extra light, the shoes provided good support and stability on the court.

In addition to speed, the shoes have excellent comfort. When I put the shoes on, I found that they required no break-in at all. From the very first session, the shoes felt just right and were flexible enough. During and after the game, I did not notice any pain or soreness in my feet.

The Solution Speed FF 3 shoes are therefore well-suited to a player who prioritizes lightness, agility, and comfort.

Best Comfort

Summary

Ideal for:

The Roger Clubhouse Pro is a more affordable version of The Roger Pro 2 flagship model. As the name suggests, they’ve been designed in collaboration with former tennis legend Roger Federer. The Roger Clubhouse Pro shoes are ideal for the player who prioritizes extra comfort and support.

The Roger Clubhouse Pro shoes are constructed with high-quality materials that provide good support and comfort. However, the materials have been divided so that the inner parts of the shoe use higher-quality materials than the outer parts of the shoe.

When playing with these shoes, I immediately noticed a great level of comfort. The fit was good and they did not require any break-in, which is rare in tennis shoes. In my experience, you usually have to play in tennis shoes for a few hours before they feel good on your feet. However, the Clubhouse Pro model felt just right from the first time I played with them.

Although the Clubhouse Pro is well cushioned, it still provides good support for the foot even in the fastest movements and changes of direction.

The only point of criticism is the quality-price ratio. Being a more affordable version of The Roger Pro 2 flagship model, the shoes still cost $160, which is more than the average tennis shoe. However, the Clubhouse Pro model is made with high-quality materials, which can justify the price.

The inside of the shoe is finished with high-quality materials, but the outside of the shoe feels a bit “light”. For example, the Gel Resolution 9 from Asics has a higher quality finish and costs $15-25 less.

The inner part of the Clubhouse Pro has a higher quality finish than, say, the Asics Gel-Resolution, so the question is whether you value quality materials on the inside or outside of the shoe.

Overall, The Roger Clubhouse Pro shoes are well-suited for the player who prioritizes support and extra playing comfort. The high price of the shoes doesn’t seem too bad either if you’re willing to invest in comfort.

Best Support

Summary

Ideal for:

Court FF 3 Novak is Asics’ flagship model, designed in collaboration with Novak Djokovic. It’s ideal for the player who wants a shoe that’s especially durable and supportive.

The Court FF 3 shoes are built with high-quality and durable materials to provide good support for the player. The shoes have a built-in sock-like interior, which allows the shoes to fit snugly around the foot.

The sock prevents the foot from moving lengthwise or widthwise inside the shoe. I found that the shoes provide good and versatile support for both changing direction and when hitting the ball.

Because of the added extra support, the Court FF shoes are heavier and stiffer than the average tennis shoe. In the beginning, the shoes felt stiff and uncomfortable, but after breaking them in, they started to adapt better to the foot.

The Court FF 3 Novak shoes are therefore perfect for the player who prioritizes durability, support, and high quality. If, on the other hand, comfort and lightness are a priority, you should turn to the Gel Challenger 14 or Solution Speed FF 3.

Summary

Ideal for:

The Gel-Resolution 9 is Asics’ more stable and support-focused model for the competitive player. The Gel-Resolution shoes are built with quality and durable materials, making them well-suited for demanding use.

Compared to other Asics models, the Gel-Resolutions are the second highest quality and most supportive, just behind the Court FF 3 Novak. While not as well finished as the Court FF 3 Novak, the Gel-Resolutions offer better quality and comfort for the price.

Being $30 cheaper than the Court FF 3, they use surprisingly high-quality materials and, in my opinion, offer a better playing experience. When I played with the Gel-Resolutions, my movement felt stable and sharp. The grip on the court was excellent, and the shoes made it easy to perform directional changes.

In terms of comfort, the shoes are average and require a few hours of break-in time. The shoes are well cushioned, but the stiffness makes them feel a little hard on the feet. After a long playing session, your feet can get a little sore. However, the stiffness is not all bad, as I prefer shoes that are a bit stiffer. They make you feel sharper and more controlled compared to very cushioned shoes.

The Gel-Resolution 9 is well-suited to the demanding player who prioritizes stability, support, and sharp movement. I have personally used the Gel-Resolution models for several years and have been pleased with their quality and playing experience.

Best for Wider Feet

The Hypercourt Pinnacle is one of the most premium K-Swiss models, designed with advanced players in mind. Compared to the Ultrashot, it places more emphasis on a fast, aggressive playing style and responsiveness.

It features a unique design that includes a built-in carbon fiber plate in the midsole, aimed at supporting tennis-specific movements. This plate adds stiffness and helps with energy return, making the shoe especially effective during lateral movement.

Although designed for speed, the Hypercourt Pinnacle also prioritizes comfort. The bootie-style construction gives it a sock-like fit, similar to what’s seen in Adidas models like the Ubersonic. This design helps reduce rubbing and enhances comfort during longer sessions.

When I tried the Hypercourt Pinnacle shoes on, they felt really comfortable and high-quality right from the start. The most noticeable thing about them was definitely their impressive responsiveness.

Even just walking around, I was surprised by the bouncy feel, which comes from the carbon plate in the midfoot area.

That responsiveness was just as noticeable on court—movements felt sharper and quicker compared to most other tennis shoes I’ve tested.

In addition to their top-tier responsiveness, the Pinnacle also delivers excellent comfort. I didn’t experience any significant soreness during or after play. The heel area felt slightly stiff during the first couple of sessions, but once broken in, it no longer posed any discomfort. The shoes are well-padded all around, and no surface felt overly harsh underfoot.

The only major drawback for me was the wider fit. I have medium-to-narrow feet, and the forefoot area of the Hypercourt Pinnacle is noticeably wider than average. Because of this, the fit didn’t feel as snug or supportive as I prefer. However, I believe players with wider feet will find the fit ideal.

Lastly, the Hypercourt Pinnacle comes with a heftier $175 price tag, placing it in the more premium tier of tennis shoes. That said, I believe they’re worth the investment for players seeking a wider K-Swiss model that delivers best-in-class performance.

Overall, the shoes are built with high-quality materials and offer some of the best responsiveness I’ve experienced on court.
