ok daddy

[@romeparker1686]

Do you recommend hooping in them?

[@SaberShirou]

I bought the 3s and 4s based off your review, and went ahead and bought the 5s as a blind buy. Yonex has improved the Eclipsion line with each iteration. So comfortable without need for break in, and it's cheaper and more durable than its counterparts in competing brands.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah I hate to sound like a fanboy but jeeze were these awesome

[@josephchao7078]

I think investing in a thermal camera would be really nice to see where the hotspots are on a shoe, where the heat is being released and where the heat is staying in the shoe.

[@eoretaspace]

not just the outsole but the shoe itself looks dope with that matte futuristic feel. Thanks for a yonex sneaker review doc!

[@petertran383]

You’re my go to channel for shoes, you’ve helped me pick out the right tennis shoes for my feet! Will you ever do running shoes?? Your understanding of materials would be great to see especially in some of the super shoes that are coming out

[@FootDoctorZach]

I do a lot of running shoes

[@setmedic44]

Zach which insert do you reccomend for tennis ?..Im a 4.5 player and the ones I have now seem a bit stiff Brand (SOLE)...would love to hear your thoughts ..keep up the great work with the Chanel

[@bwiz6514]

Zach with the tweener at 5:27. You go bro.

[@FootDoctorZach]

lol that’s the cheater tweener

[@Yidkiddabesht]

Can you do the pegasus 41 the why not 5 i love seeing you make running shoe videos its a shame you dont do as many

[@ykthunderous2361]

Hey doc, could you review the ANTA ZAP1? I haven't heard much reviews and would like to hear your thoughts. Love your content!

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

The Jet Mach 3's are kinda sticky to the ground. The Vapor Pro 1's had lovely grip/give. To which these Eclipsion 5's lean to?

[@markmoorefineart7453]

Zach, based on your extremely positive review, I gave these a try - especially since they seem to check the boxes for cushioning and stability to help out with the forefoot issues (Freiberg's) and my need for lateral support (Perineal Tendon issues). While I can see what you like about them in terms of cushioning and traction, I struggled with the fit on these shoes. Heel slippage was noticeable (even with using both set of runner's knots) and lockdown seemed lacking. Granted, while I do have very flat feet, my feet are not wide. Did you encounter any of these issues in your playtests? Think I will stick to my Lacoste AG LT-23 and hope the next version of that shoe has just tad more cushion (even with my Powerstep insoles). Any other suggestions for a shoe that has the stability and quickness of a AG LT-23 with just a but more cushion?

[@FootDoctorZach]

We’ll see what the CG2 plays like 👀 - the eclipsion may just need some more break in time though so that could be the issue or it’s just a mismatch with your foot shape

[@markmoorefineart7453]

@@FootDoctorZach Can you think of anything else out there other than the CG2 and the Eclipsion 5 that checks all my boxes other than the AG LT-23? I play exclusively doubles, so tend to favor these quick stable shoes.

[@markmoorefineart7453]

@@FootDoctorZach New CG2 looks to be a Women's only shoe this time. If so, I am likely OUT on that as I am a men's size 13.

[@nutrifelipenoronha]

Great video. In the review of the mizuno wave enforce tour you recommended going down half a centimeter for narrow feet in terms of performance, that's what I did on the clay version and it worked really well, the regular size was a little loose, in this case I also go down half a centimeter on the Eclipsion 5 or I'll go with the regular size recommendation, I was unsure even after watching the video. Thanks.

[@raularturogimenezkuhl7390]

Which Powerpulse orthotic would be the best for this shoe, should I go a size up??

[@clemsontigers511]

Hey Zach, can you review the SPO Ranger 1? I’m interested to see a full breakdown on such a weird shoe and the other shoe reviewers don’t go into the same level of depth that you do!

[@derekpappas1556]

How is it that the clay version would not rip up the grass vs a dimpled grass shoe ?

[@brunis_m]

Used the eclipsion 5 clay and switched to the mizuno enforce tour 3 after watching your best of the year video, given I had toe joint surgery and use a carbon fiber insole. Mizuno holds the ankle better but when you tie a runners knot on the Yonex it holds up just as well. Although the Mizuno does feel more cushioned, the Yonex is surprisingly roomier (even at half a size lower!). The Mizuno kinda squishes the top of my foot and also my pinkie toe. Not sure if it’ll break in?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Not sure depends on your foot shape

[@beam8544]

Hey Zach, what program do you use to edit your videos? Your editing skills and quality have improved exponentially in the last couple years

[@FootDoctorZach]

Final Cut Pro - been using it for 2ish years- before they I used to edit just on my iPad

[@manalopen2023]

How do these compare to mizuno enforce tour ac? It seems to be discontinued and hard to find in size 12 and fit my (D to E) foot perfectly.

[@henryfu8511]

Hi doc, would u recommend the clay or the hard court version for playing on padel courts? Thx!

[@user9b2]

I am pleasantly surprised that you reviewed a pair of Yonex shoe. 👍

[@FootDoctorZach]

I think I’ve reviewed just about every Yonex tennis shoe

[@user9b2]

@@FootDoctorZachI will have to search for them 👍

[@djbriwin]

Will have to give Yonex shoes some serious consideration...coming from the Solution Speed FF3, curious what your thoughts may be Doc on the new Yonex Ad Accel line that has a carbon fiber shank and is geared more towards speed? Thanks!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Just tried them last week- they’re interesting for sure

[@ilzephyrli]

is the outsole similar between this model and the rev 5? I have slightly narrow feet

[@pdiseris]

Which tennis shoes offer a more substantial carbon fibre shank to help with the jump on the serve to take the pressure off my achilles tendon. ?

[@markmoorefineart7453]

The new Yonex AD ACCEL? See Zach's review out today.

[@bournejason66]

Is it good for people with wide feet?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Word for word in the video

[@keunyoungpark9021]

[@gyrozeppeli5628]

Nice review as always, Doctor! 👍

[@koopatroopa6306]

Nice video! Will you review the on roger pro 2?

[@FootDoctorZach]

When I get them - should be beginning of July from what I’m told on the back order of my size

[@SeanJohnson-v8v]

is it just me zach or does this seem like what the vp2 shoes were trying to go for. They have such a similar build but this just executes it better.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah that’s a good point

[@MrStrangerinthewind]

Hate poly upper . Throw my eclipsion 4 away after couple session. My big toe joint on right foot was compressed too badly . Why they make the upper so thick and hard .

[@FootDoctorZach]

I didn’t notice that with these but I get where you’re coming from

[@adnelyt5027]

Better than sof?

[@ValoRANT488]

is this available in India?

[@ajcph]

I heard it is more comfortable that the gel resolution 9 but maybe the support is still better on the 9

[@FootDoctorZach]

I’d agree with that

[@MarioLopez-mu4kb]

Just wondering what it does the gel looking this on the side of the shoe, it is for stability?

[@FootDoctorZach]

It’s the power cushion

[@dunsdonjone1537]

7:20 there are 2E version Eclipsions which exists in this universe? 😲 I would pay some goood money to track on of them down. I have extra wide feet at 12 is too narrow for me and 13 is too long. They don't make these in 12.5 so a 12 2E would be AMAZING for me. I never get to use Eclipsions :(

[@pedromtorres]

Better than the mizuno enforce for basketball???

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah in terms of durability

[@lyndseyandandrew5771]

Any more comparisons relative to the AG LT 23 Ultra? I love the speed, performance, feel, and comfort of that shoe but am tempted to go for something more durable.

[@FootDoctorZach]

These are just a lot more shoe than the ultras- the ultras a bit more speedy and kicking - it’s a toss up honestly

[@lyndseyandandrew5771]

Thank you! I do like the low profile design of the ultras so will probably stick with those for now but may reconsider down the line.

[@markmoorefineart7453]

@@lyndseyandandrew5771 I just tried the Eclipsion 5s and went directly back to my AG LT-23 Ultras after 30 minutes. They just do not compare for stability and fit. They are definitely more cushioned, but not worth the trade off IMO.

[@bonucleus]

Great review. It is the next tennis shoe I will buy.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Hope they work well for you

[@murtkep]

what happened to the ja signature line? no leaks of another model they just taking a long time or wha? other shoes got leaks for third signature shoes and stuff rlly random thing i wanted to say

[@FootDoctorZach]

I'd be surprised if there was another Ja model - I could be wrong but I haven't heard a thing about continuing it

[@gatoferoz3891]

Hope they do another one because I loved the ja 1

[@grahamcarmichael6567]

Ja line is discontinued my brother 🙏🏼 it’s done. No more Ja models from Nike

The durability of the outsole is crazy, is this the highest on record so far?

[@phenix007]

It's not even close to the durability of the Nike Vapor 11 and the Gel Resolution 9 ! I tested all of them !

[@FootDoctorZach]

Not in terms of durometer but combo of feel and durability of these is unmatched at least IMO

[@Martin-yt3yu]

love your vids

[@FauzanH1605]

is it usable for badminton tho?

[@michaelyoong7]

Badminton shoes are lighter & lower to the ground. Yes you can play with them but all the extra protection for tennis is added weight!

[@FauzanH1605]

@@michaelyoong7 tbh i didn't really care about the weight bcs my older shoes didn't really durable

[@justinlion6451]

I use Adidas Harden Vol. 6, which is considered heavy, for badminton and I don't have any issues moving around the court. Not once have I felt like the shoes were too heavy. Previously I used Yonex Eclipsion Z. For me, the Vol. 6 was a huge upgrade in almost all aspects. I'd consider myself at an intermediate level.
