Yonex AD-ACCEL Mens Tennis Shoe

I've been able to wear these for a couple of hitting sessions and the advertising fits the bill to a T! Arguably their best fitting shoe to date with its form fitting urethane upper, it molds to your feet as you wear them. The run, true medium in terms of width so if you run a little on the wider side, I'd definitely recommend the wide version of this shoe. It requires very little break-in time and felt good right out of the box. It's a lower profile shoe with a deep enough heel drop that you feel secure once you're in them. On court you definitely feel like you can move about quickly and confidently without them ever feeling heavy. The game changer for me is the carbon midfoot shank. It offers exceptional stability as well as great energy return coming off a step. When changing directions you can feel a more direct transfer of weight and energy as you land, making this an all court player's dream. Think of a more support oriented Vapor 9.5 or Roger Pro. Traction is excellent though not my first choice for someone who likes to slide on a hard court. In summary, Yonex really did a fantastic job with this new offering. It's right up there with their Eclipsion 5 with a more form-fitting, lower profiled approach. The carbon midfoot shank really sets it apart and definitely deserves to be put on your short list for shoes to try. Well done once again Yonex!
