New Balance
CT Rally
The New Balance CT Rally is the successor to the beloved Lav line, and it improves on every front. Fresh FoamX cushioning delivers an exceptionally plush underfoot feel that gets better the more you wear it — multiple playtesters noted the midsole felt like it molded to their feet after a short break-in. Stability scored 8.8/10, putting it right alongside the ASICS Gel Resolution 9 at the top of the support category. The NDurance outsole is backed by a 6-month guarantee and held up impressively even for toe-draggers. The CT Rally sits in a sweet spot for players who want near-maximum stability without quite the weight penalty of the Barricade 13.
