Adidas Mens C Y D Reflex Tennis

Every year for the duration of this time, when the weather starts getting perfective for tennis, I do what I ordinarily do each new year, and make a list of things affiliated to tennis that I want to do. Usually, this involves getting in better shape, playing more, getting well sufficient to play tournaments again etc., etc. etc. This year closely all of my new year’s resolutions have been broken but I in truth have started to do something that I hope will support my tennis game. I have started taking a once a week plyometric and core training class in order to try and become more explosive on the court. Since I do work at All About Tennis, it is only natural that I would have to go and get a heap of new shoes in order to support me attain this goal, the Adidas CYD Reflex Trainer!

The CYD Reflex Trainer is a new shoe from Adidas formulated in conjunction with Andre Agassi, and Agassi’s former trainer, Gil Reyes. The conception and intent behind the shoe, is that Andre wanted a shoe that could comfortably transition from the court to the gym and back. To fulfill his request, Adidas designed him a shoe that is basically a training shoe with a hard rubber sole produced for the tennis court.

When you original pick up the Adidas CYD Reflex, most people will find that the shoe is exceedingly light weight. This is due in huge share to the upper part of the shoe which is made closely altogether of mesh. The mesh make up of this shoe is one that will work well with our Arizona heat as it will aid the shoe to breathe well in those tough summer months. The upper part of the shoe likewise features Adidas’s Speedcut which is basically strategically placed plastic pieces to help stabilize and help your foot for the duration of side to side movement. There is also a strap all over the front portion of the shoe that helps you cinch up the CYD Reflex and get a comfortable supportive fit.

As I stated earlier, the CYD Reflex has a bottom that was designed for the tennis court. This comprises of a big share of herringbone pattern tread coupled with flat tough areas of Adidas’s Adiwear rubber for durability. Running all around the middle of the shoe is the Adidas Torsion bar which adds stability and rigidity to the shoe. As far as the fit of the shoe goes, I find it to be very unfeigned to size. I have read a heap of reviews where testers felt that perchance it was a half size large, but I will leave it up to personal preference. The shoe has a medium to medium wide fit with a form fitting feel and good room in the toe box.

In the two months that I have been wearing these shoes, I have employed them for a potpourri of tasks. First and foremost, they have been employed for my Wednesday night plyometric and core-training class. Since this class is performed on a tennis court, these shoes are well suitable to the surface and I in truth prefer wearing them to my regular tennis shoes (Adidas CC Genius II) because they are lighter and more breathable. I have likewise applied these shoes for light hitting after my workouts where we play predominantly rally games.

While the shoes seemed to hold up just fine, I prefer something with a little more support up top to keep me from moving around. These shoes also are well suitable from going to the tennis court to the pavement as I have gone out jogging in them assorted times. One thing you might want to consider doing (if you do wind up using them to jog) is putting in numerous after market insoles. While I use the stock ones that came with the shoes, I specifically prefer a firmer sentiment shoe without a ton of cushion. The CYD Reflex unquestionably falls into this category.

One attribute of this shoe that I feel has perchance been overlooked is it is use as a clay court tennis shoe. While I prefer something a little more rigid on hard courts, I believe that the CYD Reflex would be well suitable for clay courts. The bottom of the shoe has a wide herringbone pattern which is distinctively easy to knock clay out of, and the fixed durability of the sole shouldn’t be a problem for clay courters.

After wearing and working out in the Adidas CYD Reflex trainer for a good two months, I believe that Adidas has introduced a solid workout shoe that will support tennis players attain their fitness goals. While it is predominantly a work out shoe, it is a lot of traits find it well suitable for play on the tennis court. In fact, players who are not to hard on their shoes may find it a lightweight substitute to established tennis shoes. I plan on continuing to use it as my main workout and light hitting shoe and am mesmerized in exploring it is performance on clay courts.
