FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

The Ultrashot 4 features an outsole optimized for clay courts. While they can be worn on hard courts, their grip and durability are specifically designed for clay and may not perform optimally or last as long on abrasive surfaces.

How do I break in my new Ultrashot 4 trainers?

We recommend wearing them for short periods initially, such as during warm-ups or light practice sessions, to allow them to mold to your feet. Gradually increase the duration of wear as they become more comfortable.

What is the benefit of the graphite winglet?

The custom graphite winglet provides enhanced lateral stability, helping to prevent ankle rolls during quick cuts and sharp directional changes, while also allowing for unrestricted movement.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.

What is the primary advantage of the Surge 7.0 midsole?

The Surge 7.0 midsole is designed to deliver exceptional energy return, propelling you forward and providing a responsive feel during intense on-court movements.

How should I store my Ultrashot 4 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on clay courts

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded clay or debris. Use a soft brush to clear the grooves.

Discomfort during play

Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure laces are tied correctly, providing support without being too tight. Allow for a break-in period if the shoes are new.

Premature wear on the outsole

The Aosta 7.0 outsole is designed for clay. Frequent use on abrasive hard courts can accelerate wear. Consider a different shoe model for hard court play.

Lack of energy return

Ensure the Surge 7.0 midsole is not compacted. If the shoes are heavily used, the midsole's responsiveness may decrease over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for responsive play.
  • Superior stability for quick directional changes.
  • Optimized traction for clay courts.
  • Durable design for competitive use.
  • Supports unrestricted lateral movement.

Cons

  • Grip is specifically optimized for clay and may perform differently on other surfaces.
  • The custom graphite winglet is a specific design feature that may not suit all play styles.
  • As high-performance trainers, they may require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Primarily designed for tennis; not intended for general running or cross-training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear performance shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. A proper fit is crucial for maximizing performance and preventing injury.

Compatibility: The Ultrashot 4 is engineered for clay tennis courts. While it can be worn on other surfaces, its specialized outsole grip is optimized for clay and may wear faster or provide different traction on hard courts or grass.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off any excess clay or dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Use a shoe tree or stuff with newspaper to help maintain shape and absorb moisture if needed.
