Babolat Team All Court

Team All CourtMEN
PRICE $99
WEIGHT 14.6 oz.
SIZES 6–13,14
IDEAL FOOT TYPES Neutral, supinated, and pronated

FIRST TAKE:
This Babolat, which Andy Roddick wears, is designed to provide stability for strong players without significantly increasing the weight.

HOW IT TESTED:
The Team All Court has a support piece under the arch, and there’s an elastic strap that attaches from the tongue to the insole on the big-toe side. When you cinch up, the strap will keep your foot from slopping around. Some testers did mention that the strap was a bit irritating on their foot, but that overall it was a welcome and innovative feature. Playtesters also said that cushioning was good at first, but it wore down quickly. The Michelin rubber outsole, on the other hand, delivers plenty of durability. Note: The Team All Court runs a half-size small (if you wear a 10, buy a 10 1/2).

BOTTOM LINE:
Cushioning could be improved, but this shoe succeeds in delivering stability at a moderate weight.
