I have only recently discovered your channel, and you are hands down the best online coach! Still going through all of your vids but already helped my game immensely!
Thanks for the honest review. The elephant in the room for me is why Nike decided to discontinue the Air Zoom Vapor 9, the best tennis shoe they have ever produced. (The recent release in horrific colour aside). The last few years of Nike tennis shoe releases have not only been aesthetically awful but also just plain bad. I switched over to Lotto and most recently Laxoste, whose shoes in my opinion beat any other brands for performance, they are in a different league. On seem to have tried to rush and capture the tennis market without realising the fact that however good or bad a player might be considered, one thing we know and appreciate is performance and what the value of money appertains to.
I‘m a Tennis coach and i’ve always used Nike, Vapor Pro and React Vapor NXT were the best tennis shoes ever for me. As you say, Nike latest shoes are terrible, I’ve been using the Lacoste AG ultra , amazing shoes, they’re perfect
Tennis shoes (like racquets) is such a personal thing.. Iga signed a deal with ON but still plays with Asics. I wonder if she will ever make the transition to ON shoes
@@michellehanrahan7343 That is a nice "excuse".. but in reality without a proper pre-season testing, there is too much to lose by changing shoes in "midstream"
@@ssenssel I don’t know what you mean by ‘excuse’. I thought you were just pondering whether she would make the transition to those shoes, and it seems the intention is there for her to do that.
Tuck the laces flap behind the tongue while tying your shoes. Once finished, pull it out and secure it... Definitely don't leave it flapping around while tying. Would drive me nuts too.
Are the clay shoes from QC (ON) wide or narrow fit? I love my Babolat shoes as they are narrow fit and comfortable support. Clay and hardcourt shoes. How would these compare to your On shoes?
Tried this shoe recently for the first time. The shoes felt great and light on my feet. I was sort of surprised with how much support was built into the shoe given that the upper material is a fairly thin knit. I can't comment on the longevity of the shoes as I just started wearing them, but my one concern is the rigid lateral support piece on the upper. It appears to be a firm TPU which was digging into my the side of my foot after about one match. I'm hoping for future models they change that piece to a slightly softer material that still provides some support.
Not sure if they have other colors, but white "clay" shoes, even if on HarTru is a disaster waiting to happen. I play HarTru in Sw Florida. I would have those ruined in three sets.
Does playing basketball as a kid help transfer any skills when learning tennis as an adult? I played basketball as a kid and when I learned as an adult in my late 20's, I felt as though I was more coordinated than someone who hadn't played a sport.
They lasted me a total of three months because the materials were cheap. I used them almost everyday for 1-3 hrs. The laces gradually wore down because of the constant rubbing against the metal button, which, by the way, broke off on my right shoe, the first month. However, in terms of feel and performance; They are the best clay shoes I've ever played tennis with. Sadly, I was disappointed in the high price tag for such a low quality material with no longevity built into it.
Maybe your isn’t that wide, those shoes are quite a bit tight and you don feel comfortable, nike used to make shoes super super narrow… for me that hard court are light and nimble, nice shoe to play, know I’m shifting to padel so I need some clay type of outsole and those are my first choice.
ON despite the Roger partnership, promotion and line focus are not really Tennis or even that sport-specific focused(compared to Asics) so its no surprise that their tennis shoes are not even up the declining standards of Nike. The best shoes in the market currently are Asics, K-Swiss, Wilson and New Balance. I have tried shoes from all 4 this week and even Wilson Rush Pro 4.0's and all 4 are producing nice shoes. Addidas has fallen more off even then Nike and without the Barricades they would be bottom of the ladder. ON though is a running shoe firm primarily and an up-market firm so I dont think they are at the level yet to compete with those 3. The fact Iga Swiatek is still wearing Asics indicates everything to know about where tennis shoes are for Asics vs ON.. Interesting that in a previous video you stated accurately how hard it is to be sponsored/endorsed by Nike especially after they dropped Rublev because now the once lifelong promoter- Grigor Dimitrov has now moved on from Nike to Lacoste which is outdoing Nike now. Funny how this often happens after a player does well- Rublev during Monte Carlo Masters win and Dimitrov making his first final in ages and at Geneve... This being stated Shoes are completely personal. Find what works for you and embrace it I believe..

Nice, Nick! Interesting to hear your opinion about tennis gear)
excellent approach to a review. Thank you!
And here we see intuitive review tenis. What a day to be alive xD
Thanks for the review. Would love to see more.
Thanks! I'll buy them for teaching!

They are designing a shoe for her for later in the year, or so I hear!

@@bournejason66 But those are NOT the ones you will be able to buy in retail stores
They look really nice.
Great review Nick! 😀
can you review on of the cheaper shoes which are below 100$ mark, just want to know what we are missing how much difference does it make
Great video as always!
🔥🔥
Is this the Wilson Shift you are hitting with in this video?
What glasses do you use (and recommend using) for playing tennis?
Tuck the laces flap behind the tongue while tying your shoes. Once finished, pull it out and secure it... Definitely don't leave it flapping around while tying. Would drive me nuts too.
Try some ASICS shoes like Gel Resolution, you might ditch your Nike's after that
ASICS Gel Resolution are the Best tennis shoes in the world.
What zoom vapor pros was he talking about and pointing to? The 1's (which Alcaraz loves) or the 2's which most pros have elected not to use.

You should try the Roger Clubhouse pro I love that shoe
Did you guys share the only one pair in the test?
Yes 🤢
The materials in these look like 2000’s decade to me
the Strap actually makes it more classy 😉
Is this court surface the same one as the Charleston tournament or something different?
Same
Not sure if they have other colors, but white "clay" shoes, even if on HarTru is a disaster waiting to happen. I play HarTru in Sw Florida. I would have those ruined in three sets.
any reason you dont wear acics ?
Thanks for branching outside of Nike. Great review
Is it possible to meet Milan, I see he has on the hat Croatian flag. I'm curios from where he is?
He’s from split cro
@@IntuitiveTennis but does he live in Croatia?
Is that a pure drive racket?
Does playing basketball as a kid help transfer any skills when learning tennis as an adult? I played basketball as a kid and when I learned as an adult in my late 20's, I felt as though I was more coordinated than someone who hadn't played a sport.
Defensive basketball footwork translates well to tennis
Nike is the bud light of shoes, thanks for buying on cloud

I bought the hard court version ( white and blue) and hated them . They gave me a leg injury.
Apparently Iga didn't like those either, since she's still using Asics.
You have to try Mizuno 🌊 exeed tour 5 ;)

LOL... Nick in no-show socks... Nah... Ain't fooling me Coach.😀
I have only played tennis on hard courts, but i would LOVE 😍😍to play on clay. But there are no clay courts in the Houston area 😪😪
What about the club that hosts the red clay ATP tournament?
@@IntuitiveTennis it's a super expensive club for rich CEO's and fat cats. not for middle class folks.
@@keith6032 ah ok. Yeah clay is more east coast and south I guess.
for this shoe you need a wide foot like Roger to achieve footing and support. . Nothing for players with slim foot.
two pairs of socks help
Sounds like they feel like the Zoom Vapor Lunarlon from 2010. My least favourite Vapor
Feels good not the shoes…forehand 🤔🤣👌
this sounds like the opposite of ASICS XD
Why would you review clay shoes on a surface other than clay?
You need to play with it for a week to make a proper opinion on it...
On tennis shoes are terrible to play in. No wonder Iga still is wearing ASICS
You know professional uses different shoe than retail right? Same as their racquets.
