Good your doing videos on tennis shoes. Rare to see this but needed. I can talk endlessly about this topic(and specifically past and current Babolat shoes) and have had a lot of experiences with tennis shoes. Interesting you talk of shoes because for me also they are nearly as important and at times MORE important racquets or strings. I have lost count the number of shoes I have gone through Tennis alone, let alone running and Fußball when I more played once. The shoe can not only help with comfort but also can truly work with your natural movement and allow one's athleticism to be fully expressed. Most of all a shoe can either injure you or not. I learnt this first hand with Jet Mach 2 which caused an injury to a specific part of my feet which surprisingly healed quick and never returned. Following that I have never taken ANY chances with shoes and can only advise one has to be VERY SPECIFIC and 'picky' when selecting shoes. Critically be careful with the insoles. Some tennis shoes have GARBAGE insoles and its best to buy proper insoles. When you say 'beginner', 'intermediate' , 'advanced' levels, how can they link any kind of relationship to a players level when there is so much uniqueness in each of our feet? I have seen players with all different shoes. As for Babolat shoes its NOT COMMON to see anyone use them. I once loved Babolat shoes. Babolat Jet Mach 1 was THE BEST for myself. Jet Mach 2 was just as good but they made a change that caused injuries. Jet Mach 3 was too sluggish and I felt way too slow and un-agile. Honestly though Jet Mach 1 and 2(when I could play with it) Tried Propulse Fury and despised it. SFX is good if you like comfortability and stability and thats it. I was once a BIG Babolat user and 'fan' but there is not much left I have come to use of Babolat any longer. Never liked Nike and their quality is going downwards so much they have to revive older Vapor Pro editions. All my life I never took to Nike in ANY way except for their much older Weightlifting shoes. Adidas is not much better. The way forwards is either New Balance or Asics and maybe Mizuno if they EVER can make a tennis shoe which works for myself. Asics is no.1 right now for tennis shoes while its a 2 way draw between Asics and Mizuno for running shoes
"Critically be careful with the insoles. Some tennis shoes have GARBAGE insoles and its best to buy proper insoles." I'm planning on doing a video on this topic as I use a different insole in my Wilson Kaos Swift 1.5 tennis shoe that helps with the balance and stiffness/stability of the shoe, because it adds little bit weight to it and shape. It's called Orthomovement Sport Insole and it's designed and developed in Sweden. Very advanced and works great. Mizuno's are also fantastic. The best one was the Wave Exceed Tour 4 which I reviewed for the Sportega store on April 2021: www.sportega.cz/recenze-tenisova-obuv-mizuno-wave-exceed-tour-4-cc. The last 2 versions seemed to me little bit worse, because they don't fit as tight on the foot as the previous higly acclaimed 4th gen.
I have used the Jet Tere AC for the last year. I am an advanced player but do not slide and only play about twice a week on hard Court. The shoe is light and seemed too soft at first, but I have been satisfied with the comfort and durability for moderate use. Much more comfortable than the Gel Resolution but not as stable. No sprained ankles with the Babolat despite it’s softer structure. Thank you for the thorough review.
I like the design of the Jet Tere, looks modern and very lightweight. If you want little better stability, try the Jet Mach 3 or the Propulse Fury 3, which is very stable. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for the great in depth reviews! How are the jet Mach 3 for wide feet (toebox) people? I know of the SFX3 that they are very wide. I'm doubting between these two. The wideness of the Mach 3 might be decisive.
I can't tell, I didn't try them. But they seem pretty wide. Not that wide like the SFX3, but wide enough for most feet in my opinion. But of course with shoes you never know. It's always good to try them before you buy them.

Thank your for pointing this out, tyres, of course. I was following F1 very much when I was younger but the last decade I watch it from a distance only time to time, it's quite boring nowadays. I will take a look at the email for sure, I know about it.
@@CzechTennisGuy Feel free to reply to the email when you can. As for F1- F1 died a long time ago honestly. I used to watch it RELIGIOUSLY(I would have got into Motorsport not tennis as a sporting career but thats another story) and still to this day can recite past champions, drivers and teams that people would not even know of. However part way through 2023 it had become just over-political infact like PC on Steroid$ and some of the commentators on SkySports are stupid and annoying not to mention the fact there is still only 10 teams and 20 drivers. When I first followed it as a kid there was always 11 or 12 teams 22 or 24 drivers. Just imagine tennis with only 20 players? For me though the last good year of F1 was 2018 but alas a certain poorly run Italian team ruined Vettel's chance of winning races and taking the title. Before that though the golden years were V10s and to me the sport died gradually after V10s and V8s went
They are quite different if you loook at the pictures. The SFX3 is more robust and has better build, it will be more performance oriented with better overall stability and support. The SFX Evo is more lightweight and casual, easy playing shoe for casual club level players and amateurs.
'Tere' I tried also and felt odd to wear. Honestly you will know within a few minutes of walking, jogging, sprinting and sliding in a tennis shop if the shoe is for you or not. 'Tere' is an odd name to use because in English the first connotation to this is Tear which is not great marketing. I dont or nearly anyone associate Maoris with quickness and agility and if anything another quickness adjective or fast animal(z.B- cheetah) would make more sense. What is your opinion on Asics and New Balance shoes? Also I dont think Amerikaner are bigger foot or height wise they are just fatter on average than Europeans. I know us Nordics and Nord-Germanischen are besides Balkans the tallest in Europa if not the world. When you are taller you will have a bigger and usually wider foot. I am not quite 200cm and can wear between US Size 12,5-13 while my brother is 200cm and has US Size 16. I think New Balance does a great job in making wider shoes. KSwiss also but I find them way too stiff to wear
Yeah, that's what I mean, that Americans are generaly more fat than we in Europe and that's why they need more room inside a shoe. I used to play many seasons with Asics Speed-Solution back in the days, versions 1-2 I believe. Then they changed the name to Solution Speed. I used to play with Gel- Resolution, too. I think versions 3-4. Awesome shoes. K.Swiss are actually not bad. As you say, they feel stiffer and less responsive, good for bigger and heavier people in my opinion. I did order one time New Balance for clay, the last version of 996 V5, but the size was smaller than I thought and I didn't like the woven upper, felt clunky and too soft overall, so I returned them.
@@CzechTennisGuy The New Balance I have now is ok but all of them are a bit clunky and not as quick responsive as Asics which are still not quite as fast as those Babolat Jet Mach's I once had. I could move with those

In your opinion: Jet Mach 3 or LCS T01?
Huge from 🇧🇷
Jet Mach 3 without a doubt. LCS T01 has bad outsole quality. Enjoy the manooovrlbity!
I still do not understand the difference between the SFX3 and the SFX Evo. They seem like the same shoe.
They are quite different if you loook at the pictures. The SFX3 is more robust and has better build, it will be more performance oriented with better overall stability and support. The SFX Evo is more lightweight and casual, easy playing shoe for casual club level players and amateurs.
