- ASICS Gel Resolution 9 vs Court FF 3 #review #tennis
I've recently been on a very exciting trip to Marbella for the ASICS Tennis Summit where I got to test out ASICS's brand new shoes, the Gel Resolution 9's and Court FF3's!!
Both shoes come out on January 1st 2023.
In this video I talk through their features and tell you what I thought of them.

Great video. Now I understand better what type of player asics target when designing each shoe. I liked it a lot, thank you!
I have both of them.. for clay. Absolutely great shoes. 0 complain
My resolution 8 started to tear apart in the front top joints after just a couple months which was pretty sad as they are quite expensive here in my country. I've asked around and other club players faced same issue. I had one Asics Challenger years back, I think 2018-2019, and apart from the sole the overall state of the shoe was pretty good. So, I think the quality of the material/technology has been dropped substantially. Not sure if this issue is solved in this version but I'm thinking changing brand.
All brands have 1 bad shoe year (when they try to change something and don’t go as planned) that doesn’t mean the model or the brand are doing wrong, try again and you’ll see, sometimes the same model but with different lot last more.
It is a known problem with that model I experienced it with all pairs I owned. In my reality a shoe is done in 4 months regardless
Tennis shoes won’t last more than 4 months if you’re playing frequently. Hard court is too punishing on them
Nice video, Ashley. I was going thru the list ticking off and I think FF3 is the one for me to try out.
Glad I could help… I’m sure you’ll love them!
What sort of shoe is better for someone overweight? I would imagine a lot of the speedy properties of the ff3 would be lost on me anyways and maybe I should just settle for the support of the gel res. Not fat, just not your typical skinny tennis player. Lots of lifting and stuff
Edit: almost forgot to thank you for the excellent review!!! Thank you!
I would say the Gel Res 9. For me they’re more stable and durable which you need if you’re as muscular as me! 😂 thanks for watching!
Was waiting on this thanks Ashley!
I hope you enjoyed it?
@@TheTennisMentor 👍
Good review!
But you forgot to mention what the other models are that belong in the two categories not occupied by Court FF.
Baseline:
Gel-Resolution
Gel-Challenger
Gel-Dedicate
All Court:
Solution Speed
Solution Swift
Gel-Game
Tbh for us normal people I'd prefer it if they focused on shoes that fit different shapes of foot more than having lots of pretty similar shoes for the same foot shape. For example all the expensive asics have the same plastic bit on the side that for my foot shape is painful. Fitting the shoe to your foot is a big thing in other sports.
Try other brands until you find the shoes that work for you.
True…time will bring more lasts on each model
I did find that the outside of my foot was hurting with the gel resolution 8 when I got them brand new, maybe due to the dynawall plastic but after a couple of weeks my foot stopped hurting and the shoes were comfortable
The outside of my right foot hurt with the 8's. Never had the issue with the resolution 7s
The Court FF that I've used for the past year are extremely comfortable and I love the one piece sock. I'll probably pick up the Court FF3s in the near future
soooo loved this review.. ASICS are so very good.
Do you believe women's versions will be and perform the same?
I believe that the technology is the same in Womens and Men’s, so they should perform the same!
Great review! I am a big fan of the Court FF and FF2s, so I’m looking forward to trying the FF3s. I really liked the Gel Resolution 7s but dislike the feel of the elastic band inside the Gel Res 8s. Has the design of the inside band changed in the 9s?
Any major differences between Gel Resolution 8 and 9?
what happened to the herringbone sole? you mention you are a clay player, what do you think a bout the herringbone sole for the ff3s?
So they kept that ’strap’ on the bottom part of the laces for the resolutions. I didn’t like it on the 8’s since it was really difficult to put the shoes on. In addition, it also pressed and obstructed the blood circulation during play. Eventually I had to cut it off and they became much more comfortable. I have wide feet but not that wide. My son had the 8’s too when he was 10 and he had the same problem so we applied the same solution.
Nice info. I miss comparison with older model and mainly the weight of these shoes.
Unfortunately I haven’t tried the old models so I can’t comment! Thanks for watching 😁
@@TheTennisMentor very good video , I have a couple questions:
1.- in other review video, they mentioned the FF# Novak model is narrower than the normal model FF3 court which is no named Novak model, like the one you have in the video, is this true?
2,. Does FF3 court is the same size as FF2 court? some time when they change of models with new version you have to go up or down half a size, is this the case? that means if I use FF2 court size 10, I will be also size 10 on FF3?
What are the all court shoes made by ASICS? You mention three types of all court and 3 type of baseline shoe but only talk about two shoes… will you review the rest or point us to a site that does? Thanks - love your content!
The all court shoes are: Solution Speed, Solution Swift and the Gel-Game. If I have the opportunity to review others, I will!
How can I contact you directly? The contact form on your website does not let me “send” the message…
@@jeantrudel292 strange, I’ll look into it! Email thetennismentor@mail.com
Thanks!
What about sizing? How long is your foot, and what size do you wear? Thanks!
Any updates coming for the Solution Speed FF? I find that model to be similar play-wise to the Court FF without the weird monosock feeling and at a better price.
Loved the video. I've got to the point where I need new tennis shoes. I went on the asics webite and they recommend the court ff2's. Is it worth buying a pair now, or waiting for the ff3's to come out? I'm just thinking about wether the ff3's will be worth the extra money and if the ff2's will drop in price.
Hope you can help and keep on producing these amazing videos
i totally agree on the ff3, it squeeze my back ankle when i tried them on. do they break in fast? i am deciding ff3 or res9
Which shoe is better fit for a slight wide feet? Are they both great for heel cushioned support? Thanks!
I think Gel Resolution has a wide version too.
thanks for the verdict ...which one suit better if i have a wider feet ?? thanns
Great review ! I have always liked Asics tennis shoes, but recently I could not buy one for myself because they are too tight for my wide feet. Even the wide Gel Resolution 9 is too narrow for me. Do you have any suggestion ? Thanks.
But how does it compare to the previous versions of Court FF and Resolution?
Sadly, he had to admit he hasn’t tried the predecessors.
@@sciagurrato1831 yep! I have both and I’m curious how it compares to it’s predecessors, makes it easier for me to decide which one instead of getting them both… again 😅
@@ElsonLim78 my pair of 9s just arrived from Asics - compared it to a new pair of 8s. The 9s are more flexible above the toes which is a plus. Will be trying them on court at some point. I still have a new pair of 6s - love that shoe, amazing durability and a flexible forefoot upper. The 8s are better for me than the 7s which had a narrow toe box, but the 8 seems be wearing a bit more quickly than the 6 (which can’t be found anymore).
@@sciagurrato1831 let us know how the 9s feel when u try them ...i also have the 8s they were ok.
Great review. do you know the difference between the Gel res. 9 vs the 9 OC?
I believe that OC stands for Omnicourt (meaning suitable for multiple surfaces). There should be a clay court version too?
Really helpful video!!
I know you went a little bit over the traction on hard courts, but how does the gel resolution 9 put up with traction in general? Would you say it’s traction level is better than the gel resolution 8, or are they pretty comparable in this category?
They have supposedly imported traction, but I’ve not played in the 8s, so can’t compare I’m afraid.
i tried yesterday all the new range of asics. wanted the court ff3 but the fit in resolutions 9 for my feet is perfect. court ff3 was not that good for me.
The new 2024 FF court are great shoes.
What’s the best ASICS for outdoor synthetic all court works well not sure why ASICS has only all court n clay versions rather than indoor carpet,indoor hard etc
Hi. I have a high instep which makes me need a slightly wider shoe. Which is better suited in terms of fit?
I came here cause I thought the shoes looked cool , but the little bit of education at the start of the video has me more interested in tennis now
did u use clay version? asilive in india there is no clay version available can this shoes work on clay?
really good video!!
Thanks for sharing!
I’m wondering know that Asics ff3 is bigger than normal or not?
For example, if i wear 10 on nike, which size i should choose on Asics ff3?
( same? Or a little bit big like 10.5?)
I tried the resolution 8 but my heel was too loose. Maybe I’ll try the ff.
I currently use Lotto.
Have you used Lotto? How do they compare if you have?
Is ASCIS FF3 compatible for clay? Pls clarify
I absolutely love my gel resoultion 8s, never buying Nike again. The durability is incredible
Nike are awful
Excellent, honest, informative review. I’m always web shopping for more court shoes and am always drawn back to ASICS. I appreciate the history you showed us in this video. I now love ASICS even more. Thank you!
I’m glad you found it helpful! 😊
@@TheTennisMentor why you did not mention the cushion is worse for FF3 compared with its predecessor , The FF2 has much better cushion, and also better support for the ankle,
@@ingrafaelcobasthe FF3 are the final change that Novak said that they are perfect as he wouldn't change anything to those from now on.
If the GOAT player says that those are the GOAT tennis shoes then there you go.
If you have foot problems , Gel Resolution is the way to go, I have been wearing them for years. If you don't have foot problems, there are many shoes that are more precise.
Are the Gel Resolution 9’s worth the extra $$ more than the 8’s? What about them feels most different from the 8’s?
what is the price of each type of shoe
From £100-£140 at the moment it seems
Any heel slippage in the GRs? This was a problem for a lot of us in the 8s.
I had no problem with heel slippage
I tie my GR8's with a runners knot and the heel snugs up great. Give it a try.
Can I wear these shoes on the badminton court?
i have some knee problems, so is gel res9 a better choice?
Hey which is better for clay
Very good video..I subscribed
For Pickleball which shoe do you think is best? The Resolution 9 or the FF3?
I tried on the Resolution 9 in a store yesterday. I tried my size 9 and it felt snug, so i tried a 9 1/2 and at first it felt more comfortable but i noticed it was not so comfortable when i pretended i was on a court and made quick side steps and front to back movements because the cushioning around my metatarsal was not on the cushion properly. I went back to the size 9 and appreciated the cushioning was in the right spot. The size was snug...maybe properly so.
I had tried other brands the store had including another Asics model and without a doubt compared to the shoes i tried the Resolution 9 support was certainly evident. I had played tennis but a begginer at Pickleball. I am a healthy senior. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Does the FF3 run true to size?
For me, yes!
is this shoes good for volleyball??
Yes, just depends on the surface you’re playing on
those res 9s are so similar to the gel challenger honestly nearly the same shoe .
Which one has wider toe box
Both similar, although the FF3 feels more snug due to the ‘monosock’ design. I have very wide feet and they were both comfortable.
@@TheTennisMentor Hi great video review, couple questions,
Does FF3 has improved also the midsole material? or is the same as FF2?
Also the instep part sometimes feels like crunchy due to the plastic on FF2, has this been improved?
And, I remember I use to wear 10.5 USA size, but for the FF2 court I needed to go back half size to 10 USA, are the FF3 size fit same as FF2 ?
And the Novak version as you mentioned is narrower, but the color design are more cool than the wider ones :=( I prefer the wider version but with Novak colors.
My main beef with the cout ff is the mash of the socks upper it lets through all the sand and gravel like a crazy. Because the openness of the mash the sand and gravel collect between your feet. Being a tenniscoach working normal hours like 6 hours on average. Also that so called sock is only connected to the outershell making my specific problem even worse i can literally fill buckets of sand at home cleaning out these shoes. They cost me like 170 euros. I think on that part these shoes are seriously flawed.
How are both when it comes to areas that tends to be forgotten - serving and returning? I want to have a stable position when serving (I use a pinpoint stance), slightest wobble in the feet puts me off completely. The resolution 8 I have used were stable but I felt as if the heel area was somewhat lower than the front area, almost creating a feeling of the body leaning backwards. This in turn created a sensation of a need to push away more with the heels when lifting towards the ball. I have a good knee bend and generate a lot of power in my serve but that low heel sort of required more energy. Same feeling was experienced when returning. I am currently using the Nike Vapor React NXT and those feel the opposite way. They’re like a spring board at the same time as they are stable. The downside is the poor durability, difficult to put on the feet and the price.
does know anybody what kind of shoes (asics) has Novak on presentation (from 1:50 sec on video)? thanks
Bro I just came to say you look like Soyjak on the Thumbnail
Pretty funny
Pahahahaaaa
So is there any actual Gel in these?
Yes, they have a small Gel pad to absorb the main impact.
Most people say the gel resolution 9 isnt comfortable but to stiff and heavy.
It’s a heavier shoe but I prefer a sturdy shoe… if you prefer something light and nimble, the speed solution or court ff may be better
@@TheTennisMentor how would the ff speed and court compare to a vapor pro 2 or 11?
very good job 👍🤌
Thanks a lot Hr Bert!!
Release date?
Jan 1st!
When are they coming out?
1st Jan! 🤩
They killed the PGuard on the ff3
lovely:)
The new Asics Court FF3 is not a big departure from the previous model. The shoes continues to be the standard for those all-court players who want to scramble in all directions and slide into their shots - like Djokovic who apparently helped design this new version. For that, these shoes continue to excel. The mono-sock design again engulfs your foot and the new lacing system does a better job of locking your foot in to the shoe. I thought the shoe felt more breathable than the previous version - so many of the complaints about the last version seem to have been addressed. I was hoping that Asics would improve the cushioning for the rest of us. While on court performance might be excellent, the shoe is quite firm underfoot. The new heel on this version - in particular - has nearly no cushion. After an hour of hitting in this shoe, my feet were throbbing, my knees were sore, and my hips ached. While these shoes might be great for Novak, they are not for everyone. The comfort level is sorely lacking. I guess these shoes were just designed for professional athletes without any joint issues. I was very disappointed.
I dont like no tongue shoes. Makes no sense
@@johnyang1420 I have to agree at this point. I’ve had fit issues with every pair of tennis shoes that are booty design. It’s really hard to get proper lockdown.
Subtitels would be great
Price $
i think Novak also has a padded tongue on his CFF2s
Oh really?
@@TheTennisMentor I think so. I believe I saw somewhere he had the small modification. I want to say it was foot doc Zach. But not 100% will look into it again
But Asics shoe laces are not of very good quality to be honest
Interesting, I’ll have to see how they last!
I'm 44 now. I may as well wear a pair of clogs!
idk why you keep saying "ass-ics" 😂 solid troll on a video!
Also, this is clearly a sponsored Ad. Wearing the full gear, invited to the events, no negatives on the shoes at all (they are great but there are some especially if you're not a professional). You really should make it clear how much Asics as a company have invested in you when you are giving a "review". This is not a review.. its an Ad. You were paid in trips and clothing - and possibly actual money too. Either way, it needs to be disclosed
Sorry not for me staying with my oldies Adidas
K-Swiss is better than Asics
170-200 shoes now? Are we going to keep 'improving' sport shoes while increasing their inflation costs? leave his shoes for rich people that play mediocre.
What do u suggest we wear?
I don't like the quality of Asics I prefer Nike
I know you’re a great coach Ashley but maybe a better salesman? - wouldn’t be surprised if you get an offer to sell other things too. The shoes are wonderful but bet they won’t be cheap and footwear that has 3 parts to the sole seems to me to be perhaps likely to fail- especially after some turning and twisting on hot artificial grass or hard courts. Novak won’t mind though as he probably has a new pair given to him at every event along with a massive endorsement fee!
Thanks for the great review, Ashley! It made me lean toward the Gel Resolutions. I was able to try on both in the NYC Asics shop and run around the store a little. I went with the Resolutions and have been super happy with my choice so far on-court!
Thanks for sharing Austin… they’re a great shoe!!
What would you say about sizing for the gel resolution 9s true to size? Go up a half size or full?
I went for my normal adidas size and they fit perfectly
This video was on my Christmas list!
Hi Ashley ! Thank you for this great video.
I'm hesitating between two models: FF3 and Resolution.
I'm 1.86 meters tall and weigh around 77 kg. I have a fairly versatile playing style (maybe a bit more on baseline).
I broke my ankle last year and had the joy of surgery. I'm afraid I might be less reactive with the Resolution.
Your advice would greatly help me.
Thank you by advance
What did you decide on? I also broke my ankle/surgery 7 months ago while wearing my Babolat Mach 3’s. I’m terrified of another break….but want to play again. I’m looking at the Asics Gel Res 9 and the New Balance X CT.
Do the Resolution 9s fit true to size???
I had to go down a half size with the previous version 8.
For me they were true to size!
Hi Ashley!, I've enjoyed watching this video!.. So what I actually did I bought both shoes!. Now I'm waiting to them to arrive. Needless to say that I'm so excited and cannot wait to try them!
Which did you like?
Great video! Thanks for explaining the shoe differences, especially with respect to playing style 👍👍👟👟🎾🎾
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video! I have had the Speed FF, Court FF2 and Gel Res 8 and the Speed FF was great and light and loved it. When i first wore the Court FF2, they did take a while to break in for me but i loved the sock and how stable the shoe was. Only gripe with them was the sole didnt last long as i do drag my feet and the shoe ventilation was poor, with my feet always ending up really drenched. The Gel Res 8 felt very uncomfortable for me initially, as my heel felt really high in the shoe. I didn't have any heel slippage, and it did take me a while to get comfortable with the shoe. The best thing about the Gel Res 8 was the sole, and the traction was on par with Court FF2, and not too sticky. The flyte foam comfort in the heel section was also great on hard courts. I have just purchased a pair of Speed FF2, and will be trying the Court FF3 soon once available here in Australia. I just hope the ventilation is improved.
Thanks for sharing this information, I’m sure it will be of value to some of the other viewers! Djokovic said the same about ventilation and he mentioned it was one of the things they changed, so should be an improvement for you! Thanks again for your comments!
I have the Res8 as well and I feel exactly the same. Really looking forward to the newer generation
@@TheTennisMentor very good video , I have a couple questions:
1.- in other review video, they mentioned the FF# Novak model is narrower than the normal model FF3 court which is no named Novak model, like the one you have in the video, is this true?
2,. Does FF3 court is the same size as FF2 court? some time when they change of models with new version you have to go up or down half a size, is this the case? that means if I use FF2 court size 10, I will be also size 10 on FF3?
Great intro to these new shoes coming up!
Thanks James!
Are you going to add Asics into your rotating shoes to get on court with? I know typically you're a big Adidas fan, as am I, however I am also an Asics fan now for the last few years (thanks to Novak) and I've incorporated both brands now into my playing, and often go through phases where I'll wear one brand pretty heavily every time I play for a period of some week's straight, or a month or so, and then hop to the other brand when I am feeling I want to change it up. :]
Yes I am… I have a funny thing about matching my outfit to my shoes though!! 😁
I love my GR8s and am on my third pair. They make your feet sweat though so I’m disappointed to see that the 9s don’t appear to address this. Where’s the ventilation, ASICS?
They have apparently improved ventilation in both the gel res and court ffs in this new version!
Thanks for the perfect review, it was really perfect!!! i'm watching in 01/2024 and it still helping me in Brazil! now i know what model i need!
So great to hear, thanks Emmanuel
Good and helpful. Thanks. You mentioned you have wider feet but I wasn’t sure if you tried the wider version or standard. I am wearing the wide version now of the Gel 8’s but if the newer ones are wider I might try.
I tried standard, i can’t compare with the 8s I’m afraid as I haven’t tried them.
I am both😂 but got them both
Very interesting !
I had the court ff3 Novak they felt amazing, played amazing but after wearing them 2 times my upper part of the shoe was getting loose from my sole so i returned and i got my money back now i don’t know what to do bcs i love the ff3 i felt so quik and flexible should i buy the same pair again or look for something else?
copied my shoes
Hi Ashley, i didn't watch the video yet, but i'm really curious. You know, find good tennis shoes is essential, more than the rackets and others kind of stuffs. Now i am playing with Nike vapor but i am not completely satisfied of them. I change several shoes, I had one pair of Asics and i loved them. Now i want to buy good Asics shoes and I Hope to follow your advice. I really loved the video about tennis player xmas gifts and also your collaboration with felix. Have a good Christmas time!
Which is better for supernators? Overpronade?
Thanks for the reviews. I am a woman playing a ton of Pickleball. I know you are talking tennis but I have been wearing Asics Tennis Shoes for Pickleball for five years. I am now debating between the new Court FF3 and the Solution Speed FF. Might you have ay suggestions? Thanks in advance
Which shoe breaths better and best for hot/humid days?
I’d say the FF3
Thanks for the review. Between the two, which one would you recommend for Padel and Tennis clay court play ? GEL-RESOLUTION 9 CLAY vs COURT FF 3 NOVAK CLAY.
Great vid, Do you think the ff3 would be ok for Padel tennis ? Recently recovered from an Achilles tendon surgery and looking for comfort and stability out of a shoe.
Great review and comparaison!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video … I’ve been searching for this to better understand the characteristics. I’ve a repaired ACL so try to avoid too heavy a shoe. I’ve also narrow feet and play as much on clay as hard court … add to this that ASICS U.K. market GR9 and FF3 plus FF3 Clay … you didn’t seem to distinguish FF3 v FF3 Clay so I’m still a bit puzzled what’s best for me … thoughts?
(& thank you)
Which of those would you say has the tallest toe box? So that the big toe doesn't rub against the fabric. Thanks.
What about Solution Speed?
What about it?
Thanks for the video! Do you think the Court can be used for running or strength training as well?
