Very useful review for the CT Rally. The review amazingly covers virtually every potential issue for the shoe (including helpful comparisons to prior versions of the shoe) and all without any hesitation or obvious sales promotion. Well done.
Another excellent review coach! I bought these shows upon your review amd love them! Its a perfect blend of stability, support and comfort. Love the new styling, everyone notices and compliments the modern look
Just came across your channel, pretty cool videos, and I am enjoying your reviews! Surprised that there are no videos testing the Adidas Ubersonics, they are pretty good-looking and also good to hit the courts, I have a pair for hc and another one for clay.
how is the upper durability on these compared to the lab v2s? i toe drag quite a bit on my left foot, as well as slide on the medial sides of the shoes and burned through the lavs pretty quick, otherwise they were great for my feet. appreciate you all for getting the first review out on these, have been looking around since these dropped!
Looking forward to receiving the Vatic Prism Flash paddle from you. Now it's time to address shoes. Supplementary to your review of the NB New Balance Fresh Foam X CT-Rally I have watched various additional reviews of th the X CT-Rally as well as the NB Two WXY V4. While the CT-Rally is obviously targeted at tennis/pickleball, the Two WXY V4 was also recommended for those activities. In the TWO WxyV4the use and placement of NB's two types of foam, a sturdy shank and a generous lateral flange would seem to provide the kind of responsiveness and stability needed for the quick side to side motion in PB. I can imagine there might be differences in the outsole durability. If you have any thoughts on important differences to consider between these tow shoes in deciding which is best suited for use in pickleball I'd appreciate hearing them.
I use the New WXY V3 for pickleball and love them...i think they are way better looking than the V4 too...I also use the Nike PG6 for pickleball and they are great too
Damnnn :( any views on what the most similar shoe out there to the v1 is? On the Adidas Cybersonic right now but it isn't cutting it...! Also had the GP Turbo recommended to me but found them way too bulky (when I finally found a pair) @@RacketsRunnersVancouver
@@RacketsRunnersVancouverI come from babolat propulse fury 3. I use them for pickleball, and they don't last for a month. Looking for another option, do you recommend the ct rally or the 996v5? Also, the shoes from sketchers dedicated for pickleball, give me arch pain.
The reviews from this guy are EXCELLENT. Tells you what you need to know but without it being a sales/marketing promotion.
Thank you so much!

Thank you! Glad they worked out for you; fantastic shoes!
All your reviews are on point 👌
Thank you!

Thank you! We just received the new Ubersonic so we may do a video soon!

Thank you! The durability will be similar (maybe a touch better on these).
Do you think these shoes will grab enough on a clay court, I sure hope so?
Great review! Do you mind if I ask what strings/tension you use in your tennis racquet? You hit some nice shots in the video.
Thank you! That is the new Wilson Shift (review coming tomorrow), and I strung it with Alu Power and RPM Rough at 53 pounds.

Unfortunately, I haven't played with the NB Two WXY V4 so I really can't say much, but I do think the CT-Rally would be a great shoe for pickleball!

Great review! Anything like the V1 at all? Miss bae so much :(
Thank you! Comfort wise, yes, but it is still very different 😅😭

Great review! Would you recommend this over gel reaolution 9
I think the Resolution is an overall more well-rounded shoe but this one is more comfortable.
Great review! Did you try it on clay? Also, what's the white racket you're hitting so well with?
Thank you! I did not try it on clay as we don't really have any in Vancouver. That's the brand new Wilson Shift 99 (review coming tomorrow)!
Sweet! Is there a women's version available? Love my lav v2s but I did have some weird pressure points
It's coming soon; we just got the men's a little early.
Do you know if thos showes will come for clay courts?
Seems like Nike air zoom zero, my favorite shoes for all time, do you agree?
You know, one of my biggest regrets at the store is never having tried that shoe so, unfortunately, I really can't say.
That's my favorite all time shoe too. Been hunting for that same feel for awhile now.
Did any of you go a size down in your true size in width D or 2E? I got a 13 2E and while they don’t seem too big, there is room and is a bit loose.
I stayed true to size but I wouldn't have an issue going down, either.
Ct rally or fuel cell 996v5? I’m playing both tennis and pickleball. I like feeling stability.
The CT Rally has much better stability, and will work great for both!

Do the lav v2 ankle collars break in
Eventually yes, but it takes some time.
@@RacketsRunnersVancouver thanks!
It's too bad they look like a baseball shoe. Lav 2s were a sweet spot in their design
I don't mind it but I see where you are coming from.
Are this shoes good for running?
No, I would never recommend using a tennis shoe for running. They are just too flat and "hard" feeling.
Gel nimbus twenty six best shoe for running
white socks >>>>>>> black socks 😤
Maybe maybe, but not with these shoes 😅
What a terrible aesthetic change. The v2 looked great in every color way. They dropped the ball on this one
